The final three minutes of this DVD are the best as engines #4501 and the monster 2-10-4 #610 double-head across the Blue Ridge together! This DVD celebrates the renaissance of steam in the South, with two living legends – engines 4501 and 610 – returning to carry their flags before the public. Gleaming in green and gold #4501, the little Mike (Mikado) that pulled the Southern’s early steam excursions, takes off through the New River Gorge and across the mountains.
The Southern’s Jim Bistline narrates the film, recounting the early struggles as the steam program grew. Then the monster 2-10-4 #610 breaks in with heavy freight on the old Fort Worth & Denver “Roller Coaster” main from Fort Worth to Wichita Falls. After seeing engine #610 on the Freedom Train we finally see the two engines double-heading up the grades to the Blue Ridge.

Originally Released on VHS only in 1992, this first volume captures the 1960’s & 1970’s action with these 2 stars of the Original Southern Steam program. While 610 is on display at the Texas state railroad nowadays, 4501 is still operating at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga.
