C. Vision Productions brings you classic Illinois Central EMD power leading trains in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. Models GP40, SD40, SD40A, SD40-2, SD40-3, and SD70 are all seen in operation. We tour the former IC Iowa Division, along with former Wisconsin Central, DM&IR, and Green Bay & Western routes. With footage captured between 2003 and 2018, we see a great variety of trains and motive power over an interesting network of Midwest rail lines. Much of this footage can be found in our DVD release "A Tribute to the Illinois Central".

The Echos off the silo at 12:28 are *haunting*

@CVisionProductions1 Год назад

Thank you for pointing out that moment in the video. New cast P5s absolutely rock!

@therailfanningskeleton359 8 месяцев назад

Honestly my favorite part a of the showcase. Came back just to rewatch it. Combining this with the 3 engines roaring by is almost frightening.

When I was discharged from the Navy Hospital Corps, my first job was with the IC at East Dubuque depot in 1964. The train master was located in the Waterloo, Iowa yards.

Was my favorite railroad growing up in the 70’s in Midwest Illinois, lived in Chicago then moved to Champaign Illinois, seen the Death Star logo all the time right by my uncles house on Roper which is now a new subdivision right by the Champaign yard which is now the CN, thanks for posting this video footage

In the Chicagoland area we call the black IC SD70's "Death Stars". I still see these all the time when railfanning the J. Of course I see them all over Chicago, but I spend much of my time along the old J route in NW Indiana and west of there through Matteson.

What purpose or connection did that west end of the GBW have to the CN network? A stack train on jointed rail super odd yet awesome!

@duckpond01.21 2 года назад

Served, amongst a few other things, Ashley Furniture in Arcadia.

@CVisionContributor 2 года назад

@@duckpond01.21 Absolutely correct. Thanks for answering this one.

@CVisionContributor 2 года назад

ejd715 For years after GBW was purchased, the west end interchange with the BN was used as it had been for decades. Due to shifting traffic patterns and interchange locations, East Winona was shut down as an interchange point. Before that west end was removed from service, stacks came off the BNSF at East Winona and Northtown, but the information we have now says that business comes over an all CN route through Canada and then down the DWP, DMIR, WC into Wisconsin.

@jeffktown 2 года назад

Seems weird to see IC power in of all places Arcadia, WI

@CVisionContributor 2 года назад

We agree with you on that. It was strange to see that IC/EJE six axle duo on the west end of the GBW. Had been mainly four axle territory for a long time.

@jimmyswearengin 2 года назад

Really does. In my experience they were mostly found in Illinois, Kentucky, West Tennessee, and Mississippi.

@ellisjackson3355 2 года назад

Growing up seeing EJ&E locos all the time, I like the 6 axle EMDs with porches 12:28 you had the camera in the middle of the track for this shot? Lol....

@CVisionProductions1 2 года назад

No, there was a curve prior to the camera placement, and with the focal length zoomed in, it made it look as if we were in the middle. But rest assured, we weren't. We don't condone things like that.
