37 years of The Illinois Central; from steam to diesel. More than TWO AWESOME HOURS OF incredible train watching on this TWO DISC set!
br>Part one chronicles 45 minutes of the last of steam on the IC, and finishes up with first generation diesels as photographed in 16mm color by noted photographer Jerry Carson.
br>Part two covers the contemporary IC as marvelously captured by rail videographer Steve Neff with top of the line professional video equipment. This program was edited by Green Frog with our usual Fast Pace story lines, incredible sound, and crisp sharp picture. Don’t miss out on one of the country’s best known and loved railroads. NEVER has there been such coverage of this road!

This program sees the Illinois Central from the last days of steam to the final days of the railroad as an independent company, prior to its merger with Canadian National.
