Canadian Pacific's Saskatchewan Main

Canadian Pacific's main line west of Moose Jaw through Saskatchewan is busier today than anytime since World War II and carries the most tonnage in its long history. Just east of Moose Jaw CP's rapidly growing business from Chicago via the former Soo Line joins the transcontinental main line. Pushed by improvements in productivity made by rival Canadian National, Canadian Pacific has fought back by adding hundreds of new alternating current diesels, new higher capacity cars, and longer trains with distributed power. All of this is showcased on CP's main line across the Saskatchewan prairie. This line handles all of CP's transcontinental traffic between eastern and western Canada and the rapidly growing transcontinental business to and from the States. This DVD shows over twenty-four hours of action on CP's Saskatchewan Main between Moose Jaw and Swift Current in October of 2003. Canadian Pacific's Saskatchewan Main is two hours and three minutes in length.

This video shows 24 hours of fascinating action in October of 2003 west of Melville, Saskatchewan on CN's superbly engineered Watrous Sub.  Two years ago CN began lengthening some of the sidings on this line and today CN runs some of the longest freight trains on this continent.  This track is part of CN's transcontinental main line that is traversed by an increasing number of containers and tonnage and by CN's new "Need for Speed" trains.  If you like to see long trains thundering across the Canadian prairie at speeds of 55 per or more this program is for you.  67 minutes.

Hot Times on the Overland Route

This video shows over 24 hours of awesome action in October of 2003 around the multi-tracked, great rail junction at Granger, Wyoming, where UP's line to Portland and Seattle breaks off of the original Overland Route to Ogden.  Many railfans are familiar with the tiny town of Granger on UP's incredibly busy central corridor which is bisected by long freight trains seventy or more times a day on peak days of the week.  With the addition of trains off of the former Rio Grande main through Colorado, the tonnage and train count on UP's Overland Route across Wyoming is at its highest level ever.  And many of these trains are led by UP's fleet of new SD70M's adorned with wings on their nose and a large American flag on their sides.  185 minutes.  2 Tape/DVD set.
