Originally released in 1994, this program covers some great diesel action in the modern era with flashbacks to steam in the 1960s & 1970s plus US Army 610 at TVRM in the opening & closing scenes while wearing a replica of a Casey Jones type whistle.
Here are the segments that appear in order:
1. Canada’s Goderich & Exeter on the former Canadian National Branch Line out of Stratford with a cab ride (More coverage of this short line can be found on the G&E video with Bob Carrera narrating)
2. The Pinsley Railroad Company in Florida with Florida Midland Alco S2 number 107 that also has a cab ride as well, Florida Northern with CF7 number 50 on the CSX connection that has a pair of Seaboard units in charge, And Florida Central with CF7 number 49 with a little bit of pacing, & street running with a cab ride.
3. A short look at the Hump Yards like Cincinnati’s Queensgate Yard on CSX for example with Conrail & Chessie System as well as vintage films by Emery Gulash in B&O & C&O days.
4. The Allegheney Railroad in Western Pennsylvania shot by Robert McCormack in February of 1993 during minus Zero Degree weather, as he witnessed more former Santa Fe CF7s in action on a freight, that also has some more pacing scenes included.
And 5. 1960s & 1970s steam action with NKP 759 in Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania in 1968, & to Buffalo New York in 1970, & Canadian Pacific 1278 as 127 heading to Jim Thorpe in 1966 & on the Lehigh Valley in 1968. Today, 759 last ran in 1973 & it’s still on display at the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, while 127/1278 was retired in 1995 for good due to a boiler explosion at the Gettysburg Railroad & today it’s on display at the Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugar Creek Ohio.
