Think back to a time when green machines roamed the range pulling heavy trains of taconite; when a friendly wave from the conductor in his caboose was commonplace. A time when the sound of roaring EMD's broke the silence of the crisp Northwoods air. Hop on board with us as we travel back to the early 1990's and return to an era of railroading that may be gone, but not forgotten...

This is: Burlington Northern Minnesota Ore Lines.

Burlington Northern Railroad action is seen traveling over the former Great Northern Railway's Minnesota ore lines throughout the famous Mesabi Iron Range. See the BN as they load ore cars with taconite pellets at the Keewatin and Hibbing taconite plants. The long and heavy ore trains then travel over 100 miles through scenic Minnesota forests to reach BN's shipping port on the shores of Lake Superior at Allouez, Wisconsin. See the ship Mesabi Miner, a huge 1,000 foot ore boat that’s arriving at the Superior Entry for loading at BN Dock 5. Also included is a tribute to both the Great Northern Railway and the legendary freighter, Edmund Fitzgerald. Classic BN diesel power includes: GP9, GP10, SD9, SD40-2 and SD60M. Most BN ore trains and the Kelly Lake locals even operate with a caboose! A few trains of the DM&IR, DWP & WC are also seen. Footage era early 1990’s from the camera of Bradley A. Plets.
