  1. Dan

    The perfect video for armchair railfanning and a must-have aid for planning a visit to the Twin Cities. It’s all here … a rainbow of locomotive paint schemes, interesting consists, fallen flags, fascinating locations, passenger trains, steam and more. Most of the video is now nearly 30 years old, with some nice vintage footage dating back to the late ’60s. In the hands of a great storyteller like Bradley Plets, this is one program you don’t want to miss!

    This 2 hour video features every day action in the twin cities during 1993. From mainline freights on the Soo line Wisconsin Central And Burlington Northern, to great steam locomotives with Soo Line 328 And The debut of Milwaukee road 261. When it was released on vhs in 1994, it came with a map of the Railfan locations in the twin cities area as well as what contents there are on the label. Overall great program, good freights, and amazing mix of pure steam and diesel action.

SEE VINTAGE FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TRAINS OF THE 1960’S IN ACTION AS WELL. THIS FILM DESERVES A 5 STAR RATING AND IS 2 HOURS LONG.
