Trains Along The Upper Mississippi Volume 2

About This Movie

Trains Along The Upper Mississippi Volume 2 is a fascinating dive into the world of railroading along the picturesque St. Croix Subdivision. You get this sense of place, you know? The film captures the essence of the late '90s rail scene, showcasing a mix of freight and passenger trains as they navigate the lush landscapes from La Crosse to the Twin Cities. There's a certain rhythm to the pacing, almost meditative, as you watch the trains glide by, framed by the natural beauty of the riverbanks. It’s more than just trains; it’s about the connection between industry and nature. Pentrex does a solid job with the cinematography, making every shot feel intentional, and the sound design really immerses you in that world. It’s a niche piece for sure, but it definitely has its own charm.
