In my top 5 of train videos of all time! Have the DVD in my collection.The diversity of locomotives and landscape is great! The pacing of locomotives, trackside at full throttle definitely screams this is railroadin!
This video features a duo of KCS AC44 units in Marquette, IA. Plus I enjoyed watching an ICE train rolling along the Mississippi from Dubuque to Marquette! I really like this video, Chris!
CVision I appreciate all the quality videos you produce. Great action sequences and some pretty cool run byes. I like the fact you put out the maps of where these trains are, very helpful resource.👍🏻
Well, we appreciate you watching, Jimi. And thank you for the notes on what you like about our videos! We believe that our maps provide the viewers with a little bit of needed perspective, since many people have never visited the areas covered.
It was a sleepy line during the time we produced the video. Four trains per day was about as busy as it got. Glad to see the KC line has a bright future. Thank you for the comment.
Yes, sir! They had a small group of them. Two of the units (613, 614) were still adorned in their SP scarlet and gray paint when IC&E took over. The rest had been chop-nosed and repainted into IMRL blue prior to the sale. The blue ones ran briefly under IC&E ownership, but were soon sold off. Those units ended up at grain elevators. 613 and 614 lasted a little longer on IC&E, but didn’t see much service.
1:16:24 Fun fact, PGR was technically forced to sell these boxcars because UP did not like them putting their name out there on customer cars, and UP ended up charging them like double because of that, so PGR sold most of them to MWCX. PGR still has a couple but most are not in their line up anymore.
Wow, what a story! It is true that railroads make more money when their own cars are in use, so there’s always that incentive for the railroads, as long as they have the resources to maintain their railcar fleet. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! We do have a little bit more IMRL footage, but not enough for a full video. Most of our remaining IMRL footage was captured between Davenport and St. Paul along the Mississippi River. You’ll see more of it down the line, most likely.
Yep, that engineer wanted to get home! 222 was a straight SD40 that was originally built for the Chicago Great Western. As for exceeding the speed limit… if it happens, it’s only by a little. Can’t get away with that sort of thing anymore.
My father got called up by The Milwaukee Road on Xmas Eve 1946. He was 17yo. Grew up in tiny Dickeyville, WI n drove 20m to TMR Shops in Dubuque, IA. He recounted sevl yrs later the rough caliber of men as he opened the door...some were gruff as gruff could be! He thought that he had walked into a lions den! Hahaha...got assigned to the Savannah, Ill line which ran from Sabula, Ill to St. Paul, MN. He was an Asst Fireman on a K10 loco. One bitterly cold night the train stopped n he was directed to run back 1 mile n set a flare. Just as soon as he did, the engineer blew his roaring whistle to indicate departure so in -20F°, pitch black, he sprinted back to the train n just managed to reach the caboose...he was scared, exhausted but had passed his 1st real test! He lasted 3 yrs then was drafted into Korean War. He remarked more than once regret for not resuming is RR career upon returning home from US Navy!
That was real railroading in those days! It wasn’t for everyone, but it was a rewarding career for those that chose to stay. Thank you for sharing that story.
So many roaring classic EMDs…..
Excellent stuff!
EMDs galore on IMRL and ICE. It was a great mix of older power. Thank you for the comment.
I love this railroad company was cool growing up with sadly not much power left in their roster
We feel the same. It was a very interesting railroad with a lot of variety. Thank you for the comment!
Thanks for uploading this the Davenport Marquette and Chicago subs I consider my home territory for train watching
You’re welcome! Happy to share it with you.

Thank you!!! We attempted to make this video as appealing as possible. No shortcuts. C. Vision appreciates your support!
Nice video Today I went on a cab ride on rcpe belle turn i was on RCPE 3425 it was fun
Excellent! Hope you enjoyed the ride!
Man I love the look of those old battered ex-SP SD9s. If they could talk, the stories they would tell.
That 614 was a beast. Truly embodied the spirit of the SP. It just wouldn’t die. Thank you for watching!
This railroad has it all! From classic hopper car,from the iconic soo line,cp rail northeastern,Burlington northern and,montana rail link. I love it.
We agree wholeheartedly! The variety of locomotives and freight cars on the IC&E was impressive. Thanks for the comment.
I love the look of any and all EMD locomotives! Such a cool video. 👍🏻🎥💯
Thank you, Brandon! We love EMDs in all their forms as well.
@@CVisionProductions1 you’re welcome.
Great Production, I know at least one of their GP40-2's now wears HLCX reporting marks and is on lease to Florida Gulf and Atlantic
Thank you! And yes, you’re correct. Most of IC&E’s other power ended up on RCPE or scrapped.
i dont have this vid, thank you for sharing. its very good. like seeing and hearing the SD9's. i ran them on PC
You’re welcome, Charles! Thank you for watching. The 614 was a real treat to see in operation.

Thanks for uploading! Love all the classic & classy EMD power.
You’re welcome! And thank you for watching.

@@CVisionProductions1 awesome!!!
Beautiful train . And a Great sounding horn 😊
Thank you, Freddy!
Ironic that the Portion to KC is going become huge for the new CPKC
It was a sleepy line during the time we produced the video. Four trains per day was about as busy as it got. Glad to see the KC line has a bright future. Thank you for the comment.
Excellenti video!
Thank you very much!!!
Yess! I love this video!
We love that you love it! Thanks for watching.
I love this video!
Thank you so much! Glad that you are enjoying it.
Wow, that track at Spencer looked in terrible shape! Man oh man...like uber- wavy!
90lbs rail minus sevl lbs! Hahahahahaha
Yes, sir. The track was a little rough out there back in those days. The CP has since replaced the jointed rail in that area with smooth welded rail.
Wow, I never knew the ICE had an ex-SP SD9.
Yes, sir! They had a small group of them. Two of the units (613, 614) were still adorned in their SP scarlet and gray paint when IC&E took over.

non-turbo 567s... sweet music!
The ICE had quite a few of those units left in 2004. Always a treat to catch! Thank you for the comment.

Great Video! Are you going to do I&M Rail Link sometime?
Thank you! We do have a little bit more IMRL footage, but not enough for a full video. Most of our remaining IMRL footage was captured between Davenport and St. Paul along the Mississippi River. You’ll see more of it down the line, most likely.
Wow, loco 222 was winding it up near Mason City, IA!
SD-40-2?
Do train engineers ever go over posted speed limits?
Yep, that engineer wanted to get home! 222 was a straight SD40 that was originally built for the Chicago Great Western. As for exceeding the speed limit… if it happens, it’s only by a little. Can’t get away with that sort of thing anymore.

Yes railroad,s ARE very nice & unique !
Yes indeed!
And then the next video is from a mile away...too funny!
There were a few long range shots in this video. The territory along the Mississippi River allowed for some different angles.
Not a big fan of the uber-close videos when cars blur by... can't appreciate them much that way!
Some of those shots were a little tight. We made sure to include a good variety of angles in this video, including some pacing scenes.
The Coolest Railroad on Earth ?? The Rio Grande thinks otherwise ;)
The battle for fallen flag supremacy... The Rio Grande just might win.
The ICE wasn't good enough namewise I call it "hard water railroad"
Yes that was a joke lol
Roger that!!! The IC&E had some interesting nicknames, that’s for sure.
