Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific Railway in the 1970s

Full video available at patreon.com/VintageRailroadFilms The Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific Railway is one of Canadian National Railway's American subsidiary companies, operating in northern Minnesota. Constructed originally as the Duluth, Virginia and Rainy Lake Railway, the railroad was soon purchased by CN and incorporated as the DW&P in 1909. The railroad's mainline ran for 167 miles from Duluth Junction at Fort Frances to DW&P Junction where it shared an interchange with the Northern Pacific. The DW&P handled large amounts of freight including lumber, potash, and paper; DW&P paper cars were commonly seen across the U.S. Additionally, DW&P locomotives were sometimes seen in pool service on CN's other American subsidiary railroads including the Grand Trunk and the Central Vermont. The DW&P still exists today as a subsidiary of Canadian National, though its independent image has faded somewhat. In 2011 it was merged with another CN subsidiary, Wisconsin Central, further diminishing the American subsidiary roads against the backdrop of parent company CN. In this film we see DW&P operations at and around Duluth. Included are appearances by the DW&P's Bicentennial-painted ALCo RS-11, and interchange partner Chicago & North Western. Filmed by Walter A. Martin in the 1970s.
