Does anyone have copies of the videos produced in the 1980s by a local production company in Wyoming, MI? They made at least 2 videos, one was the Chicago Subdivision from GR to Porter, including West Olive and Hamilton operations. The other was GR east if I recall correctly. Used to be able to borrow them from the KDL library branches, but looks like they flushed out VHS media. Any leads would be great. Have access to the Chicago Sub video, but really looking for the companion video they made.

RDD is correct we did produce videos on CSX from GR to Porter and Plymouth. They are on my list of videos to upload to YouTube.
Here is a play list of part of the video we produced of trains around Fostoria Ohio.

I need to digitize the rest of the video.
I also have been uploading videos from our chase of Pere Marquette 1225 and NKP 765 from Michigan to West Virginia.

I uploaded a video of the Kroger local near the airport in Grand Rapids Michigan today. It includes an Eastern coal train with two GP38s, a GP30, and a six axle GE. The clip ends with the local delivering five coal loads to the Stealcase complex near 52nd and Broadmore.

Here are links to a couple of videos taken in the late 80s that includes the Fremont Montague turn out of Muskegon Michigan. The second link is D727 (The Cannonball) from Muskegon through Holland and into Grand Rapids Michigan.
I know these aren’t the videos you were asking about and I’m not sure if you seen them but I believe they’re worth watching.
