Join C. Vision Productions as we tour a portion of the old Soo Line in the Land of 10,000 Lakes! The Paynesville Subdivision, operated by the Canadian Pacific, runs through the rolling prairies and farm fields of central Minnesota from Glenwood to Minneapolis.

This single track main line hosts a constant parade of trains that move between Canada and Chicago. Many different types of freight including intermodal, potash, sulfur, glycol and grain are moved by elder SD-40 dash 2's and cowled SD-40 dash 2F's. You will also see newer locomotives leading trains such as the GE AC4400's and EMD SD-90 dash 43's. Original Soo Line power is also captured in many scenes!

The Paynesville Sub is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Many curves and small grades are encountered on this 122-mile line, along with several bridges and overpasses. From the heat of summer to the chill of winter, this show documents railroading at its best through the rolling prairies of Minnesota!
