C. Vision is proud to announce our first Vintage Films DVD!
The Milwaukee Road in the Midwest, Volume 1
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
from Marquette to 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 SD-9 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 in the Midwest, Volume 1."
