Witness the Burlington Northern Railroad as the trains of the BN travel over 300 miles along the mighty Mississippi River with its majestic bluffs rising high above the river. This DVD captures some of the most beautiful and scenic segments of the entire BN. The show starts in Minneapolis and St. Paul and travels south along the picturesque river communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin to Savanna, IL. The exciting and fast paced action includes yard, local and mainline freights.

See the BN as they haul intermodal, general freight, and unit trains of coal, taconite, grain, and autos. As an added feature you’ll also see the connecting roads of the: SOO, CP, C&NW, WSOR, CC&P, UP, IC, GB&W, MNNR, TC&W, Canadian National run-thrus and the Milwaukee Road steamer #261 with passenger cars heading north for the Twin Cities. Plus you’ll also see a few fascinating steamboats and river barges. The program then ends with a look at the Great Northern inspired paint scheme and trains on the new BNSF.

    It’s difficult to choose a “best part” of this program. Some of the frontrunners: the wide variety of locomotive models wearing Cascade Green … interesting consists … fallen flags … a first look at BNSF paint … the scenery … the river traffic … Milwaukee Road steam locomotive 261 … great camerawork … informative narration. Well, you get the idea — this program is great from start to finish! One of the very best from Plets Express, and that’s saying something!

    Passed this one over several times before buying it. Im a big fan of Plets Express as his videos are put together nicely. Plets Expres really did their research on these productions. I recommend any Plets Videos if you like informative Narration and good picture quality.

    I still own this one on VHS. This is a very well done look at BN over the Mississippi river. the scenery is included very nicely into this spectacular BN show. plenty of unique sounding horns, and quite a lot of BN’s variety of motive power is seen in this show. Milwaukee road 261 is even seen on its way back from steam town. The show ends with the very first BNSF H1 DASH9s and test scheme SD60M hauling freight at various locations you had seen previously, need I mention the BN duel fuel SD40-2 is in the show. The Steam boats, nature, and insightful narration as to why towns are named what they are and history of the area, you just cant go wrong with this, or any plets express railroad video production.
