- #trains #diesellocomotive #history Paul Sartori joined our trainclub during mid 1997, in 1998 osmr had to find a new home and we ended up using a machine shop in apopka for most of the year, the shop had a small office that had a hvac and on tuesdays some of our club members would show up in the afternoons and Paul would put on a show with his train movies for entertainment. Pauls shows covered Alote of the united states as he moved very frequently Paul also recently converted all his movies to DVD so they can be played at the train club and so they can be shared to everyone watching the youtube channel. Special thanks to Paul for the movies all the credit goes to him!
Great video about a railroad I am unfamiliar with!
Thank you for watching
Another great production! I really enjoyed this one. Thanks!
thank you were glad you enjoyed another edition to the series of movies there is more to come this week!
Excellent. Thanks.
Your welcome appreciate you tuning in and watching
Great video!
Our family moved to Wheaton, Illinois, in 1954. We lived a couple of miles south of the tiny village of Gretna, a freight stop along "The Great Once in a While", as my dad called the CGW. I distinctly remember looking out over snow covered farm fields between our house and the village, and remember watching steam powered freights rumbling along, trailing huge plumes of white smoke. What a beautiful painting that would make, if only I had any artistic talent. Anyway, I would swear on a stack of Bibles those steamers ran on the CGW during the winter early in 1955, so the line was not yet completely diesel powered as you stated. Thanks for making this video. It's fun to see the old films of those trains. 🙂
Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed the movie
I used to watch CGW and CE&I in Chicago. Both good railroads but the competition overwhelmed them
that’s great information about that
Very nice presentation.
Two notes. MILK has a line to KC which today ties the CP to the KCS, and the ROCK ran through Des Moines.
Thanks for another excellent video.
Thank you for watching
Great history on an obscure Chicago railroad!❤️( are you a former Chicagoan yourself? 🤔)
Thank you for watching! No this movie was from our club member Paul. He has been to Chicago to film these trains.
Yes, Beverly District. My dad was a Rock Island Mechanical Engineer. I was a North Chicago fireman. We left in 1954.
EMD, not EMC. Electro Motive Corp became the Electro Motive Division of GM in 1941, long before CGW bought any of their products.
Thank you for watching and the information about that
Oelwein is pronounced like wine not ween.
Ol'-wine. Not Or-ween.
Im pretty sure CGW was one of the first in the Twin Cities. Milwaukee also had a mainline from iowa to the twin cities, and the Rock ran on it from Comus to Rosemount MN. The Rock came later into the area, AFTER milwaukee and the great western. I think the CGW failed to adapt and thats partially why they died. If i am correct im pretty sure AB Stickney built the MILW mainline to the twin cities as the Minnesota Northern but it merged.
In reality after the merger the only line that the CNW was interested in was the line to KC.
Thank you for the information
Number 8 was the first diesel purchased in 1947? No it wasn't, number 2 , a diesel purchased from Westinghouse was the first diesel on the CGW, in 1934. Also, SD 40s are six axle, not six wheels.
thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your information
sorry guys RS # 51 was not a booster it was a slug
Thanks for the correction
Oelwein is pronouced "Ule-Wine" Otherwise great video
Thank you for watching
Why are there fake sounds over the video? Like for example the S2 does not sound like that and those are EMD engine sounds
when this was filmed there wasn’t any Audio with the video camera so there was sounds put on top of it.
@@ORLANDOSOCIETYOFMODELRRCLUBOkay. I was confused!
