Railroading in the Space Age is nowhere as graphically portrayed, as on the railroad which serves this county’s premier rocket launching site. The air Force space complex at Cape Canaveral could not conduct its vibrant space program without its railroad to deliver rocket engines, components, fuel, and other materials.
br>In a land of alligators and swamps on central Florida’s Atlantic Coast, the 40 mile NASA Railroad serves as the connection for America’s Spaceport to America’s Railroads. We take a never before seen behind-the-scenes look at rails that serve rockets. We ride the trains. We pace them from the air.
br>The spectacular space shuttle launches which are possible only with the support of the railroad are graphically shown. We also see scenes from space and incredible aerial views of the Space Center and the railroad.

Originally released in 1989, & reissued again in 1995, this program takes us to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida which includes Rockets blasting off into space, but the majority of the program focuses on special freight train switching with former Toledo Pieoria & Western SW1500 units 1 & 2 in charge as well as a handful of mainline action on the Florida East Coast. Plus there is a head on chase of the switcher running cab forward while heading to the interchange track on concrete ties which lasts much longer than the old fashioned wooden ties, Not to mention crossing over the drawbridge.
