Steamers featured include EL-5s, and EM-1s, Big 6s and Q-4s, T-3s and T-4 4-8-2 Mountains. Bill captured not only the head end action, but also the rear-end pushers which were, and still are, common on Sand Patch. Many scenes feature authentic B&O steam audio recorded in the 1950’s. Massive, modern steam power thundering through some of the prettiest scenery in the East – all preserved by the camera of William Price.

If you love and B&O you should add this to your collection. My friend let me barrow this series and I do not have it myself but plan to. If you are a steam fan I defiantly recommend this series. Excellent video with very informative narration. As always, Clear Block put this video together nicely. Its a shame there were not more Clear Block videos.
