• Classic Chicago & North Western, Vol. 1, The ALCO Line - C. Vision is proud to announce our new release!
  Classic Chicago & North Western, Vol. 1, The ALCO Line
  
  During the remarkable 147-year history of the Chicago and North Western
  Railroad Company from 1848 to 1995, the railroad fielded a variety of main
  line and branch line service throughout the Midwest and High Plains
  region, not to mention several locomotive types to move those trains. A
  secondary C&NW main line from Chicago ran northwest through Wisconsin,
  Minnesota, and South Dakota to Pierre, Dakota Territory in 1880. This
  route was finally completed across South Dakota to Rapid City in 1907. In
  the late 1970s, many American Locomotive Company units were based at
  Huron, South Dakota, due to their lightweight and pulling capacity. This
  specific suitability to the area's light rail and slow speeds established
  the Pierre to Winona route as the ALCO line. In this video, photographer
  Fred Crissey follows the ALCO Line between Winona, Minnesota and Pierre,
  South Dakota, from 1977 to 1981. Also included are the Plainview,
  Minnesota and Aberdeen to Huron, South Dakota branch lines. This program
  features awesome ALCO locomotives that include RS2, RSD4, RSD5, RS32, and
  C425 models along with EMD SD-7R and SD-9's. This is one part of the C&NW
  that was very unique, but short-lived. Let C. Vision bring these memories
  into your home for life!
