Step onto the captivating world of Hotrail Productions, where the magic of lights, camera, and trains combines to create an unforgettable experience. I travel all over the country photographing railroad history in the making. My footage dates back to 1995. Whether it's a thrilling action sequence or a heartwarming romantic scene, the railway has long been a favorite setting for filmmakers and TV producers.

Power is a CN EMD SD75I, and a pair of GE C40-8M's, with the second unit still in British Columbia Railway livery.

Get ready for an exhilarating tour of the legendary railroad tower at
Griffith, Indiana! Retired in December 1999 and moved across the tracks
in July 2000, this tower once commanded the intersection of five
bustling railroad lines, witnessing the thrill of 180 trains rolling by
every single day! Plus, we’ll explore an EJ&E caboose. Captured in
September 2011.

Again we are at Grayslake station. This time I used the tripod and the results are much improved over my previous two shots. I filmed the same train as it headed north and returned south an hour later.
It is scenes like this from the old days that I really enjoy, in that they show how I started out and corrected my mistakes. I would like to hear from people that are in this same position today.
These tracks were in such rough condition, it’s amazing they were still in service!
Join HOTRAILProductions for a brief tour of the Maumee & Western Railroad in Liberty Center, Ohio — a struggling shortline operating on a former Wabash Railroad route that once connected Fort Wayne, Indiana to Toledo, Ohio.
After a 10-mile segment from Liberty Center to Maumee was removed, the line was leased to Indiana Hi-Rail Corp in 1989. Following Hi-Rail’s bankruptcy in 1996, Maumee & Western assumed operations in 1997.
Notice the worn 80-lb rail and overall deteriorated track structure. The line now ends on the east side of town, transitioning into the Wabash Cannonball Trail before the rails resume near Maumee.
A fascinating — and sobering — look at Midwest shortline history.
