  1. Dan

    The contemporary shortline railroading alone … interesting operations and a fascinating mix of equipment … make this program worthy of any railfan video collection; stunning footage of Pere Marquette steam locomotive 1225 make it a “must have”! The videography is well done and creative, narration is informative and the setting is beautiful. Volume 1 of Plets’ two part series chronicles a different group of Michigan shortlines with the same attention to detail, and you’ll enjoy watching both programs for years to come.

    While this 2016 program features a variety of diesels in the Henry Ford state, there is also a segment showing a flashback to the iconic polar express locomotive itself (1225 in the owosso area) not to mention a past & present visit to the LS&I.

    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.
