Sisseton Milbank Railroad (SMRR) - South Dakota Shortline Survivor

In this video, we cover the Sisseton Milbank Railroad between 2005 and 2021. Beginning in the predawn hours, we set out to capture "SSB1200" SMRR 561 powering a small train of loaded grain cars from Sisseton to Milbank, South Dakota. Departing Sisseton under the Strawberry Supermoon, we follow the train for 37 miles through Peever, Wilmot, and Corona, before arriving in Milbank. Much of the line is still laid with 60 and 75 pound rail, and we'll see the Sisseton Milbank safely negotiating this fragile track throughout the video. We also see the last Whetstone Valley Express passenger train operated by the Sisseton Milbank back in August of 2005. In addition to trackside views of the event, we take a cab ride aboard SMRR 561. Finally, we’ll take a quick look at BNSF and TC&W operations on the former Milwaukee Road mainline in Milbank. Although the SMRR is now owned by the Twin Cities & Western Railroad, the Sisseton Milbank image is still represented in the modern day. The spirit of the Milwaukee Road is also very much alive in this resilient little railroad, and we're sure you'll enjoy seeing operations on what was once the Milwaukee's Sisseton branch. Come along with C. Vision Productions, as we showcase this elusive South Dakota shortline. Sisseton Milbank locomotives seen: SMRR 561 (SSB1200) SMRR 627 (SW1200) You may also like...
