In Volume 2 of Chessie Sand Patch, we’ll revisit the treacherous Sand Patch route between 1982 and 1984. Though technically under the umbrella of the CSX Corporation since late 1980, the Chessie System continued to maintain its identity at this time and the busy train operations remained largely unchanged.
We’ll follow the variety of freight trains as they struggle to conquer the grueling mountain grades from Cumberland to the west slope and back, and close with a brief visit to the Mountain Subdivision and the famous 17 mile grade. The most popular hot spots on the Sand Patch and Mountain Subdivisions are featured, including: Cumberland, Sand Patch, Hyndman, Fairhope, Mance, Salisbury Junction, Altamont, Wet Cut, Deer Park and more.

This DVD does a great job of taking you back in time on the keystone and mountain subdivisions. Camera work is good for its time and audio is pretty good too, the narration is a brief 2 minute spiel in the beginning of the program. The rest of the time is non-stop Chessie trains. Train symbols are shown which is a nice touch.

Just like Volume 1, this video has excellent information. I like videos where I learn new things.
I’d highlight the train names were included, I found it very interesting to know how Chessie symboled their trains. If you like informative videos, add this to your collection.
