In this installment of the American Altavista Clinchfield series which was originally released as volume 3 part 2 (Part 1 of volume 3 covers the Northbound trip from Erwin to Elkhorn City), it starts with a small tribute to Mr. JD Davis who was born in February 1927 & died in August of 1991 during the NRHS convention in Huntington West Virginia. Afterwards, we are at the throttle on different engines during different years: CSX F unit 116 (once Clinchfield 800 & later Chesapeake & Ohio 8016 on the Potomac Eagle scenic railroad) during October of 1990, vintage films of Clinchfield 10-wheeler number 1 that is on display at the Baltimore & Ohio Museum, an SD40-2 in September of 1987, & an unidentified diesel during 1968, not to mention a flashback to 1985. Aside from Narrator Bob Loehne, there are commentaries by CF Bailey, Wayne Cable, Bob Edwards, & Jim Goforth. There are countless crossings, sidings, bridges (both under highways & over rivers), tunnels, stations (which some have since been demolished), meets with other freight trains, yards, mountains, & even the loops along the way. Aside from CSX & Clinchfield, there are other road names like Seaboard, Chessie System, & Family Lines. Sometimes there are scenes with a special speed-up effect due to some locations on the Erwin to Spartanburg line having restricted slow orders.
This is one of the few American Altavista titles that are owned by Green Frog Productions.
