Over the years, we have used many scenes filmed at night in our video productions. Due to feedback from our viewers, we are now proud to release a video filmed completely after dark.
Just as we began shooting in the 16×9 widescreen format in 2011, several Southern Railway steam locomotives were being restored to operation. In the years that followed, we made numerous trips to film these locomotives in action. This program presents some of the best scenes of these locomotives, shot over the course of a decade.
For sixty years, the Strasburg Rail Road has been offering rides behind steam locomotives in the Dutch Country of Pennsylvania between Strasburg and Paradise.

23 steam locomotives from 17 different railroads. It’s huge variety of steam engines in action, everything from diminutive switchers to the largest to hit the high iron: N&W 1218, UP Challenger 3985 and 4014, UP’s Big Boy. Includes doubleheader action!
Here’s footage that cuts straight to the heart of the action! See mighty steam machines pulling hard; hitting the steepest grades of the East and West. Every clip is a steam locomotive pulling hard, or with wheel slip, or with great stack talk – as she works hard on a steep grade!
Some of these clips were seen in other Main Line Motion Picture Shows. This show was previously released under the title “Steep Steel & Slipping, Stalling Steam! (Volume 1)”. This new release has additional footage and has been digitized, upconverted, frame-by-frame stabilized and color-corrected.
Heavy freights and locals, passenger runs, excursions and engine’s being serviced – it’s all here as we look at steam-holdout N&W in the 1950s.
