Conrail’s Kaleidoscope Years is a new series covering the first few years of operations featuring a wide variety of motive power color schemes inherited from the former Anthracite Roads, as well as leased foreign power.
The Cincinnati area is laced with shortlines. In Part 3 of this series we follow three Indiana & Ohio’s subdivisions plus the varnish of the Lebanon, Mason & Monroe Railroad.
In Part 4 of the Cincinnati Shortlines series, we see the Cincinnati East Terminal Railway. This beautiful stretch of railroad was once part of the Norfolk & Western.
Over the years, we have used many scenes filmed at night in our video productions. Due to feedback from our viewers, we are now proud to release a video filmed completely after dark.
Just as we began shooting in the 16×9 widescreen format in 2011, several Southern Railway steam locomotives were being restored to operation. In the years that followed, we made numerous trips to film these locomotives in action. This program presents some of the best scenes of these locomotives, shot over the course of a decade.
For sixty years, the Strasburg Rail Road has been offering rides behind steam locomotives in the Dutch Country of Pennsylvania between Strasburg and Paradise.
23 steam locomotives from 17 different railroads. It’s huge variety of steam engines in action, everything from diminutive switchers to the largest to hit the high iron: N&W 1218, UP Challenger 3985 and 4014, UP’s Big Boy. Includes doubleheader action!
This show is a compilation of footage previously seen in other Main Line Motion Picture programs, plus new footage that cuts straight to the heart of the action, these mighty machines pulling hard; hitting the steepest grades of the East and West. Every clip is a steam locomotive pulling hard, or with wheel slip, or with great stack talk – as she works hard on a steep grade!
Get ready for a deep dive into this former Conrail/Pennsylvania line running 106 miles between its namesake cities. This set includes all three original volumes. Five discs in one case.
