Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Vol. 2, DM&E Mainline Waseca to Lake Benton - FULL VIDEO (2013)

In this video, C. Vision Productions returns to the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern to document the railroad's operations between Waseca, Minnesota and Lake Benton, Minnesota. We’ll follow trains across 150 miles of DM&E’s mainline, with coverage provided of the Tracy Subdivision and Huron Subdivision. This former C&NW route travels through the small towns and rich farm fields of southern Minnesota, with many points of interest found along the way. This show chronicles EMD's finest, as they power across the railroad with heavy trains of grain, ethanol, and bentonite. Locomotives from DM&E, IC&E, CP, SOO, STLH, CITX, and CEFX are all seen in operation, with models SD40, SD40-2, SD60, GP40, and GP38 handling the majority of assignments. We were fortunate to capture two plow trains during the winter of 2009-2010, as DM&E’s Jordan Spreaders were busy clearing the mainline of deep snow following multiple winter storms. Footage for this show was captured between 2005 and 2012, with re-editing completed in February of 2023.
