Documentary on why they pulled up the Soo Line in Oshkosh

Very interesting documentary with train video of old Soo Line and new ex-C&NW alignment.    I remember the S Curve through downtown Oshosh and the Soo Line trains derailing on it frequently, never a big pile up because they were always moving slow.   Usually 1-2 cars or so off the tracks.
