In the mid to late fifties, Jerry Carson recorded on crisp, sharp 16mm film the end of steam in the U.S. and Canada. Jerry’s excellent photography captured operations on many roads still holding onto the steam engine. 14 railroads are covered in this exceptional collection of steam: Chicago & Northwestern, Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Erie, Chicago & Illinois Midland, Pennsylvania Railroad, Northern Pacific, Grand Trunk, Illinois Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk & Western, New York Central and the Rock Island. Plus two Bonus Videos included:
Union Pacific Steam (7:36) and CN & CP Steam (9:15)
