| This is the finest movie I've ever seen on the history of the Milwaukee Road. Milwaukee's story is well told, along with the operations of the power supply in the mountains.
Charles Smiley has done an excellent job putting together footage of the Railroad from the early days when electrification started to the final days. Included is other electric lines and competeting railroads -- NP, GN, and BA&P. Maps on the movie are very explanatory as well.
For the fans of long haul electrics, this movie is an excellent purchase.
Note: However, like all Charles Smiley movies, there is one area that I've noticed that is common with the productions that some viewers may not care for: There is an overlap of footage of the movies of the same road name. Even so, this is normally only 10 to 20 minutes over an entire movie that ranges 75 to 90 minutes long.
