The Midwest is full of railroad action with Short Lines, Regionals and the big Class One’s! C. Vision returns to this railroad rich region in “Trains Across the Midwest, Volume 5!”
In this volume we first travel to southeastern Nebraska. Here we capture Union Pacific trains in and around the community of Davenport. Trains led with C44AC-CTE’s, SD90-43AC’s and SD-60M’s are seen traveling through this scenic section of the U.P.’s Marysville Subdivision.
Then it’s off to western Minnesota. On the border of Fargo, North Dakota is the city of Moorhead. It is here that the BNSF’s KO and Prosper Subdivisions join at a point called Moorhead Junction. This busy spot hosts numerous BNSF trains on a daily basis. Along with main line freights and coal trains, many yard jobs and transfers use this junction to get to and from the large yard in the adjacent town of Dilworth, MN. From rebuilt GP-30’s to the new SD-70ACe’s, you will be treated to some great BNSF trains at this location!
Finally, we head a little further north to catch the action on a newly formed shortline. The Dakota Northern operates over ex-BNSF tracks from Grafton to Walhalla, North Dakota. We capture this line only months after its birth to watch as rebuilt GP-10’s take care of moving grain, potatoes, coal and ethanol. The railroad even treated us to adding the Minnesota Northern’s caboose to the train!
Awesome mainline action, diverse Short Lines and Regionals make the Midwest one of the best places to watch trains. C. Vision takes you there in “Trains Across the Midwest, Volume 5!”
