The Burlington Northern Railroad was formed out of three large and three smaller roads in 1970. It was a success for 25 years. This DVD brings back all the great BN power and clean cars of those years that led up to the merging with the Santa Fe Railroad to create the BNSF system today!…

Visit Canada from 1939 to 1973 from New Brunswick to Vancouver Island. We bring lots of steam and the early diesels in both freight and passenger service.
This video brings us the Southern Pacific as it existed out west from 1950 to 1978.
See the SP battle back to respectability in the early 90s. The aborted merger with the Santa Fe during the 1980s left both lines greatly weakened and the SP seemed to be the worst victim.
Visit 10 shortlines spanning the years from 1970 to 1998. We had full access to the Angelina & Neches River Railroad, in Texas, and the Central Oregon and Pacific, in Oregon, with the ‘inside’ look at two very capable shortlines.
See Gila and Lordsburg districts from the 80s and 90s with cabooses, lower quadrant semaphores and on-train footage. Main and branch line action. See Donner Pass, Cuesta and the Coastline, Beaumont Hill, Tehachapi and more.
