Album Info:More CP action on their Chicago to Twin Cities mainline, focused near the east end from Watertown to Milwaukee. This is one of the busier rail lines in Wisconsin and the only one with regular Amtrak service. Some days it seems like all you see is CP's red, widecab GEs, but patience and luck will yield a wide variety of classic and colorful diesel power.
