Description

This DVD is previously owned but in good condition.
Minnesota's Railroads, Volume 6 continues C. Vision's tour of railroads operating in the Land of 10,000 Lakes! In this production, we visit the Minnesota Commercial Railway. This short line carrier operates in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Operating over 150 route miles, the Minnesota Commercial is the oldest and most connected new short line carrier in Minnesota.
The Commercial operates several jobs serving industries on lines once operated by the Minnesota Transfer Railway Company, along with operating on tracks leased by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific. The Commercial also interchanges with all of the railroads in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region. In this video, we follow 6 of the major jobs the Commercial operates, along with capturing some transfers.
This railroad is truly unique as it operates with second generation Dash 7 General Electric locomotives including B-23 dash 7's and a B-36 dash 7. If you are an Alco fan, this railroad has a treat for you! You will see one of the last two RS-27's in existence operating the Hennepin Job as well as a C424 teamed up with a slug working the yard.
Minnesota's Railroads, Volume 6 is a short line lovers dream! The G.E. and Alco's distinctive "chugging" sound is brought to life with the Minnesota Commercial!
Running time 119 minutes.

Minnesota’s Railroads, Volume 7, continues our look at railroads operating in the Land of 10,000 Lakes! In this production, we revisit four short lines to view new power, new paint and new business.
C. Vision visits the Northern Lines Railway in St. Cloud to view new power in the form of an ex-Burlington Northern GP-10 and a former
Iowa Interstate GP-7.
Then we head to east central Minnesota and follow the St. Croix Valley. Here the railroads sports two locomotives with its new Northern Pacific inspired paint scheme.
Special Windmill Tower Trains and new business on Progressive Rails Cannon Falls line attracted us to document the revitalized Chicago Great Western line.
And finally, a re-visit to the Minnesota Commercial to view their rare RS-27 at work, along with the Sand Train that began in late 2011 which uses MNNR’s six axel power.
From SW-1500’s to the mighty SF30-C’s, this program gives a great variety of switching and main line action that only short lines in Minnesota can offer! It’s all here in Minnesota’s Railroads, Volume 7…New Power, New Paint and New Business!
