Come join us for an interesting, unique glimpse into regional railroading. At last check, there were well over 600 regional and shortline railroads operating in the United States alone. We find it amazing at the seemingly countless smaller railroads that are active in North America and the variety that they continue to offer. There are simply too many of these railroads to feature in a single listing. Regionals of North America is a collection of just a few of the many impressive, little railroads that continue to thrive in an industry dominated by the giant Class I carriers. The regional railroads depicted on Volume One include : Dakota, Minnesota, & Eastern (DME); Duluth, Missabe, & Iron Range (DMIR) - before and after CN takeover; Iowa, Chicago, & Eastern (ICE); Iowa Interstate (IAIS); and Montana Rail Link (MRL). Witness all types of locomotives, everything from Alco M420Rs, EMD GP10s, SD40-2s, and all the way up to big SD70ACes, MRL's newest power. In addition, most of the trains featured on this DVD are taken from mainline action shots moving along at track speeds that rival Class I operations. So come along for a vast, fun-filled journey across America and witness the variety that today's regional railroading offers. If you have grown a little weary of the monotony and lack of variety presented by today's big Class I railroads, this video will be a very exciting experience! Filmed 2003-2006.
