Part 1 covers the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha with a 4-4-2 Atlantic, the Chicago & Northwestern, New York Central with a Niagara disguised as a Commodore Vanderbilt like the Hudsons, and the Soo line with some surviving steam locomotives: 2713 picking up a milk car, 2714 putting on display at Fond Du Lac, and even 2718 waiting for a freight led by a since been scrapped 5000 series 4-8-4. Along the way, there is also the circus train with grand trunk western 4-6-2 number 5629, & even Burlington 4960 which is thankfully operational at Arizona’s Grand Canyon railway. Plus there are also circus parades, early diesels from F-units to GP7s, and even dealing with a massive wreck. Not to mention a couple of visits to the mid-continent railway museum with 2-6-0 number 9 as well as miniature gauge steamers.
All of these silent black & white & color films were from the 1930s to the 1960s by Mr. Harold A. Nehls.
Fun fact, the scene of 4-8-4 number 5000 was used in a preview for Jim Coffey’s my mama was a train album that was only shown on the I Love Toy Trains part 11 VHS from 2002.
