This two pack of shows will quench any thirst you have for the history and engineering of railroad tunnels. First up is our well received “Tunnels, The Story of Underground Rails” and then the documentary “Beneath Los Angeles, The Building of the Red Line Subway” by Shoot and Run Productions and distributed to the railfan community by Pentrex.
Meet the workers, go underground, be at the tunnel face – and experience the above-ground controversy about LA’s first subway. This is the Red Line as you’ve never seen. Plus Pentrex has added a 10 minute look at the Red Line today.
125 years of steam railroading under the Southern Stars, and through the ‘southern Alps”. Join the New Zealand National Film Unit for this documentary.
You have the best seat in the house, up above the action! This all new, all-drone show covers Norfolk Southern at Horseshoe Curve and much more. DVD or Blu-ray.
Two Classics, brought together in one show. Digitized, restored and enhanced and now available on DVD or Blu-ray. NOTE: The Blu-ray *is* 1080 HD and certainly better quality and higher resolution than the DVD, but is *not* up to modern 4K viewing standards.
Southern Pacific’s Daylight 4449 has been called the most beautiful steam locomotive in operation, drawing crowds of admirers whenever the colorful, magnificent 4-8-4 runs in excursion service. In October 1995, after a three year hiatus, 4449 once again thrilled as it steamed through Fall colors in Oregon.
In 14 miles of the West Slope we see Sullivan’s Curve, Mormon Rocks, Blue Cut and the Summit (and more). With grades as steep as 3% and both Union Pacific and BNSF pouring trains back-to-back through this 14 mile funnel landscape, this is exciting big-time railroading! Look for rare visitors to the pass: Snow and Big Boy 4014!
A Union Pacific Big Boy at Kansas City Union Station. Who would have guessed?! Follow 4014 on the run to Kansas City and home to Cheyenne: Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado. 4014 runs in a near blizzard!
It’s nothing short of amazing, In 2013 Big Boy 4014 was a static display in Pomona, California. In 2018Â she was in pieces in Cheyenne, Wyoming. In late 2019 we see 4014 under her own power in California and at scenic spots along the Sunset Route!
SPECIAL EDITION: Features the original 2 hour show PLUS a 30 minute bonus show, “From the Cutting Room Floor”. Big Boy 4014 is now the world’s largest and most powerful operating steam locomotive at 1.2 million pounds and 7,000 horsepower. See historical footage of Big Boys, including 4014 in the 1950s, and new footage from May 2019, complete with interviews from people who were there. Great pacing scenes!
