74 Minutes  Narration
DVD or VHS
$25.00 CDN  -free shipping.

The railroads provide an important role in keeping Detroit's industry humming, and in this exciting video we travel across the Metro Detroit area to view the railroads doing what they do best, serving industry by moving freight.
 
Join us in this action packed video and visit some of the best railfanning spots in the Detroit area. Enjoy the busy action at Romulus, just minutes west of Detroit's Metro Airport. NS, CSX, and Canadian Pacific all make appearances hauling various types of freight.
 
Come along for some unique railfanning action at Carleton, home of a surviving but non-operating interlocking tower. Here you will see CN and CSX fast freights and even Wheeling & Lake Erie unit trains.
 
For a mix of yard and mainline action enjoy the railroading at Plymouth. On the western edge of Detroit's suburbs this busy point brings CSX action from all directions. You never know which direction the next train will come from.
 
Come along with us to some of Metro Detroit's best railfanning locations!
 
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed.

CSX #8161 sports an interesting paint scheme as it blasts past the former interlocking tower at Carleton.


 

Plymouth is a great place to view both mainline and yard action. Here we catch this caboose still in Chessie paint being sent to its appropriate track.
