The Milwaukee Road was a Class One railroad that operated until 1986. The Milwaukee had most of its presence in the Midwest with many branch lines and secondary routes. This classic railroad sported many different locomotives on its roster and played an important part in the Midwest economy. Photographer Fred Crissey captured several Midwestern Milwaukee Road lines in the 1970’s, and in Volume 1 of The Milwaukee Road, C. Vision features Fred’s films in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.
You will be amazed when you see 4 SW-1 locomotives pulling a local freight between Rushford and Austin, Minnesota. Also, GP-20’s are in charge of a train between Marquette and Mason City, Iowa. Then we capture trains along the Mississippi River from Savanna, Illinois and northward in Iowa. It is on this line that “F” units were charge of freights! Fred also followed the Milwaukee Road from Kansas City, Missouri to Ottumwa, Iowa just after the Soo Line purchased the Milwaukee in 1986. Finally, you will enjoy the action on two Wisconsin Branch Lines from 1978. An SD9 works the Mineral Point to Janesville train and SD-10 number 555 is in charge of the Sparta to Viroqua train.
Great Milwaukee Road action is here for you to enjoy in C. Vision Productions “The Milwaukee Road, Volume 1.”
Lloyd –
The Milwaukee Railroad is featured here in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois & Missouri nearly 50 years ago. Overall, the historical story is excellent to see. Many lines that are either in mainline service today with other Class 1’s or shortlines or are simply gone forever are shown. And the power of course is also much of never to be seen again. Taped without natural sounds, so music has been added to go along with some narration. Personally, I am not a fan of music incorporated with railroad videos, but understand the need when there is no natural sound. So basically, you need to have the historical interest when considering the purchase .
