The RH&D is a 15″ gauge, 1/3 scale, 13.5 mile light steam railway in Kent, England. The railway is not a toy, hauling school children as well as tourists!
It is spring in Poland and we have excellent weather to view three narrow gauge railroads. Two of our finds are steam powered, and one is a diesel powered line.
See a wide variety of maroon, gray and yellow diesels pull a variety of trains through the Ohio countryside.
Montana Rail Link’s Mullan Pass is the crossing of the Rocky Mountains in southern Montana on the old Northern Pacific.
The Utah Railway has the only 6 MK5000’s built, and they ply their trade dragging coal trains over Soldier Summit.
The declining sugar cane railways of Java, Indonesia, still host a wide variety of elderly, exotic colorful steam engines in both the cane fields and the mills. They also have a variety of diesel “critters” working hard.
Two great trips: Tipong Coal Mine ran the oldest steam locomotive in regular service – in the world. And then we charter a steamer to head across India into Nepal!
Cajon Pass in California is one of the premier train watching locations in the world – and a very busy main line. BNSF relieved some of the pressure with a new third track.
It was a fairly gloomy day (not to mention really cold), but we did meet a couple of trains, and got to ride around Morants Curve. Shot over the cab from the bed of a CP pickup.

We begin our journey at Siliguri, 450 feet above sea level, the location of the DHR engine shed, and an Indian Rail station, so there are 3 gauges, broad gauge, meter gauge and the two foot Darjeeling. We’ll end up some 7,000 feet later above Darjeeling as we climb the Himalayan foothills.
Steam locomotives doing what they were designed to do… in regular service.
Awesome action and heavy duty railroading through deep cuts, around horseshoe curves and up steep grades.
Another program on Cajon? Yes indeed. I’d never been and the railroads involved have merged. Because of El Nino everything was green, I had bright blue skies (no smog!) and there was snow on the mountains.
It’s been a number of years since big smoke belching beasts came out of Schenectady, but they are still working hard in this program.
This video was shot over 20 years ago – just in time to catch Montreal’s commuter boxcabs.
Visit Tehachapi from the mid-60s to the mid-90s, plus regional locations Taylor Yard, Barstow Yard, Richmond Yard, Colton Crossing, Cajon Pass and the building of the SP Palmdale cutoff. Pre-merger railroading at its best.
Go back in time to the “Muni” after WWII to the 1980s. See when the “Iron Monsters” ruled Market Street and watch PCC cars of long ago when they were run as double-ended cars.
See the Key System from 1945 and the end of WWII that brought the National City Lines ‘buyout’. See the last 13 years of a great transit line that struggled to maintain quality service in a world of change. We review the NCL and compare its new control of the Key System to the LA…
This is a nostalgic and technical look at electric, mountain railroading. See GE box-cabs, Joes, and Bi-polars in many great locations. Here is the “Road” from 1955 to 1978, covering electric, diesels and some steam locomotives. Go inside substations and yards. Watch how the sturdy mountain-men of the “Road” dealt with poor funding and ancient,…
