The Milwaukee Road is a fascinating dive into the railroading history of the early '70s, focusing on the electrified stretch of line through the Rockies. With Pentrex at the helm, it combines vintage footage with a narrative that feels nostalgic yet raw. The pacing is almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the stunning landscapes and the rumble of the trains. It’s less about flashy editing and more about immersing yourself in this world, showcasing the dedication of the crews and the beauty of the route from Harlowton to Avery. It’s not just a documentary; it’s like a time capsule for rail fans, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the atmosphere of rail travel during that time.
