Here we have a rare sight these days, a doubleheader in steam! Nickel Plate 765 and Pere Marquette 1225 are together for the first time since the 1980s. Two days of staged photo freight fun: Day 1 was the 765 alone, day 2 was both engines. Purely mindless runbys, but hear them bark! Lots of sound and fury, massive smoke plumes and some awesome stack talk. Includes side by side runbys. If you enjoy big steam you won’t want to miss this program.
Special features include the ability to turn the narration on and off.

I concur with the previous reviewer. There should have been a better handle on things during the editing process… Nevertheless, it is still worth watching overall. How often do you get to see these two Van Sweringen Berkshires running trips together? … Not a whole heck of a lot…

It’s not the best video I ever watched but the highlights were great. The narrator could’ve used more details and he didn’t said Lima correctly as the 2 nearly identical famous Berkshire locomotives were built by Ohio’s Lima Locomotive Works in the height of WWII. Another minor issue is that there were some audio difficulties as they were cut off during some runbys. I still enjoyed the locomotives as they team up together for the first time since August 1991 and perform the best show they can.

Cool footage of the NKP 765 and PM 1225 working together and doing different individual runbys.
