In this video, C. Vision Productions presents the classic films of George Niles and Fred Crissey captured in Minnesota’s Iron Ore Country from the 1950s to the 1970s. Beginning with the Northern Pacific, we’ll see several movements in Duluth before we shift our focus to the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range. George documented a good variety of DM&IR steam and diesel operations in the late 1950s, with coverage of many interesting locations across the system. Mighty Yellowstones, SD9s, SW9s, and various other steam and diesel locomotives are featured. We even see one of DM&IR’s “Jitney” cars transporting company personnel around Proctor. We’ll also cover several smaller operations in the region, including Hanna Mining, Oliver Iron Mining, Mesaba Cliffs Mining, Duluth & Northeastern, and Balkan Mining. As an added bonus, the video concludes with scenes of the DM&IR, Reserve Mining, Erie Mining, and Burlington Northern in the late 1970s, from the camera of cinematographer Fred Crissey. Vintage steam, diesel, and even electric operations are all here for you in this C. Vision video presentation.
