Listed in alphabetical order we have Great Northern 2-8-2’s and an 0-8-0 in Minnesota, Great Western Railroad #90 in freight service in Colorado, Milwaukee Road 2-8-0 on the Port Angeles, WA branch, Northern Pacific 2-8-2’s switching, plus one 4-8-4 number 2600 is seen. Santa Fe includes a couple of 4-8-4’s and a little yard action. Southern Pacific includes a couple of 2-10-2, and 4-8-2’s.

Union Pacific has some nice rare footage on the Encampment Branch south of Rawlins with 4-6-0 number 1243, plus some rare shots of steam rotary 099 on the Coalmont branch south of Laramie.

Western Pacific has some short segments including Challenger type (4-6-6-4’s) 403 and 404 on a freight, with one being a rear helper, plus some other regular service engines. WP number 94 is seen in special service, including leading the California Zephyr for a special anniversary and WP leased it for movie work and a few scenes are shown of that as well.

    Very good films. I especially liked UP #1243 running on the Encampment line–something this show gave, but left me wanting more of! Luckily, there were plenty of other, equally-entertaining tidbits from all over the country!

    This program features a handful of future famous survivors: Great western 90 which is still operating at the strasburg railroad in Pennsylvania, & Union Pacific 1243. On one of the 2 segments with western pacific 94, the ten wheeler is being used for the filming of Walt Disney’s Pollyanna in August of 1959. Most of the other steam locomotives seen in this program has since been gone for scrap like the WP articulated 2-6-6-2s for example. Like many of Greg’s 2017 titles minus N&W 1218 rebuilt & Roanoke bound, this was narrated by Brian sellers.
