The Great Trains of the Midwest
Steam locomotives are restored as vivid reminders of past eras, with the Midwest being home to a host of companies called, "Granger Roads." Within the four states that these roads operated in are several locomotives that each tell their own story of how the relationship between transportation and commodities hasn't always been harmonious. From the bustling cities of Chicago and Rock Island, to the flat lands of Iowa, the swamp lands of Wisconsin, and the iron ore trails of Minnesota, there's plenty of variety of trains in the various landscapes.
