Interesting as I grew up five houses away from a Grand Trunk line. This reminds me of being a kid as we would walk the tracks down to the Milwaukee junction back in the 70s.

[@BossSpringsteen69]

Railroading had a different flavor back then.

[@pletsexpress]

you're sure right, very different flavor indeed. Thank you for watching

That was some awesome looking rusty equipment on the flatbeds! 😊😊

[@arthuridis]

4:45 a high hood Loco and a big ol Mercury Marquis. Doesn't get any more 1970's than that!

[@pletsexpress]

for sure! great memories though..

[@wildbill9919]

Another awesome moment on the DVD at 1:05:45 is a 70s Oldsmobile passing by a high nose loco.

[@wildbill9919]

I got Vol 1 3 years ago. Didn't plan on getting Vol 2 but got it yesterday.. Glad I did.

[@garymiller5937]

Lots of great looking older power. Great video! I know a lot of people don't like Detroit but I always enjoyed visiting on business. I think it's a very nice city. 😊😊😊

0:53 right there the GTW 5936 is the last SD40-2 on CN that wears GTW paint

[@pletsexpress]

Sad to see them disappear one by one.... GTW lives on in memories and historical preservation :)
