Witness the massive articulated or Mallet type steam locomotives whooshing by at speed with 100 or more cars, blasting a column of smoke skyward along with one or two helpers on a long freight drag up a steep grade. Exciting action across America in the 40s and early 50s in full color from photographers such as Robert Flack, Emery Gulash, Tom Strid, and Jerry Carson. With exciting stereo sound and some music, you will be thrilled as you view action on Union Pacific, Duluth Missabe and Iron Range, and N&W.

As an added bonus we have included a few scenes of the last few runs of Norfolk & Western’s 1218, and double headed action with Union Pacific’s 8444, culminating in the most spectacular steam giants video ever!

    Originally released in 1996, this recently turned 25 year old program features countless articulated engines: Norfolk & Western Class A 2-6-6-4’s with 1218 in the modern era, Y class 2-8-8-2’s, J Class 4-8-4’s, & a pair of 4-6-2’s doubleheading on a passenger train.

    On the Duluth Missabe & Iron Range, there are 2-8-8-4 Yellowstones, & last but not least: the Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boys with 4-6-6-4 challengers especially 3985 during it’s excursion service in April of 1991 while doubleheading with 844 from Cheyenne to Sacramento for the 10th anniversary of the California State Railroad museum the following May as well as an excursion from Salt Lake City to McCammon Idaho where Fun fact alert: 2 more Popular railroad video Producers-Pentrex & Greg Scholl were also there for both the Doubleheader & the McCammon trip with the since been retired Challenger in action.

    Aside from the big 3 mainline road names, a short segment on the Rayonier in Washington state is also featured.
