Covered Wagons Part 2, 1980s to 2024

Listen again to EMD 567 chants of F-Units, more robust resonating twin-engine E-Units, and crisp ALCO four-cycle exhaust. The notable heritage of more than twenty roads gathered by the 1924 Bob Julian Roundhouse, one-time Southern Railway, at Spencer, NC, in late May 2014. As each unit comes front and center on the turntable, films present in-service scenes during the 50s – 70s of that or sister units! You will also go for rides on several FA, F and E Units, see some of the last uses in freight, commuter and intercity passenger dung the 80s and 90s, and then explore more recent dinner trains, office car specials, and tourist applications. From the first FT in 1939 through the last FL-9 of 1960, colorful classics parade by in roaring, streamlined style!
