Agreed, there were no Milwaukee electrics here. Probably taken somewhere between Montana and Washington state. Also the tunnel scene is probably somewhere out West as well. A lot of the rest I recognize.
Great video - it sure looked like the MN&S swing bridge at Savage at 0:33. And further south on the same line perhaps at 1:01. But, a lot of these sites would be interesting to see what they look like today and if they have rail service!
How great to see the old Soo Line combination of an SD40-2 and an F7. Just the right HP to drag a train of grain empties over the Paynesville sub.

I don’t remember The Milwaukee Road running electric locomotives in Minnesota.
South Shore Line. True. Looks like a Milwaukee Little Joe. That's part of that "a little out of state thrown in" mentioned in the description.
Singing (to yourself please) .... Those were the days my friend, we'd thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance for every local train ........
Wow this stuff is awesome! Any chance you could post where each of these spots are in the information section?
