Rare film, all color, of the B&O. Railroading, exactly as it was: More than 200 run pasts, pacing shots and double headers. Captured in gloriously clear color by a world class cinematographer Guy Bryant, this film features streamlined Pacifics, switchers, Q-4’s and both B&O and C&O mallets, but it concentrates on the culmination of B&O steam locomotive design: the T3 Mountain. Bryant was up in time to catch the Capitol Limited when it came racing through the golden haze of summer dawn. It was well below zero when he captured a volcano plume of winter exhaust against a steely blue sky.
This feature paces the streamlined “Cincinnatian” under steam, and shows branch lines, wrecks, and EM-1 mallets. EM-1s are then contrasted with the C&O’s giant 2-6-6-6s.
Narration. Sunday River Productions programs may feature Color film, B&W film, Music, Dubbed Sound and still photos.

Originally released in 1987, this program features a ride aboard the Capitol Limited while passing by diesels & electrics on the Southern, Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac, the Pennsylvania railroad & of Course the B&O but throughout one of Sunday River’s Longest titles, the entire show captures everyday steam operations from the Films of Mr. & Mrs. Guy & Betty Brant.
Locomotives from the T-3 class 4-8-2s to the Q4B class 2-8-2s are shown especially the pacific type 4-6-2s in passenger service primarily on the streamlined Cincinnatian & even the giant articulated 2-8-8-4s & Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-6s with an appearance by future famous survivor 1604. Some early diesels are also featured as well.
Locations include Garrett Indiana, Hicksville, Sherwood where a work train is assigned to clear up the mess, White’s mills, the Maumee River bridge, Deshler Ohio, Defiance, Parkersburg, The Auburn Branch, Hogate, the Auglaize River bridge, Willard, & others, especially crossing the diamonds for both the New York Central & Norfolk & Western.

Of all the many B&O steam videos I’ve seen I think this one by Sunday River Productions is the best of all. Lots of great vintage action and variety. Plenty of great scenery typical of the Beano!
