Hello there.In this lot, you’ll enjoy a mix of steam, diesels, & unexpected surprises.
The programs which you’ll receive in this lot are:
1. Norfolk & Western 611 on saluda (October 1992 coverage of the J class northern on the steepest route of the Norfolk southern mainline with a mix of both trackside & onboard footages with interviews from some of the passengers. It ran for 2 hours)
2. Old Milwaukee road on the new River train (the American altavista version of the final run of steam on the new River gorge with 261 in charge during October of 1994 that also includes flashbacks to nickel plate 765 visiting the reason) Note: other railroad video producers were also there as well: Greg Scholl, skyfire, Dave Goodheart, the pbs show tracks ahead, main line motion pictures, etc. The case says that it ran for 99 minutes when it should’ve been 2 hours.
3. Quick shots (a 2 hour look at lots of great diesels including new genesis units on Amtrak as well as motorcars, and even segments with 611, 1218, & southern 4501 plus a Timelapse of Union Pacific challenger 3985 being transformed into clinchfield 676 during November of 1992) it comes with a scene guide.
4. This is clinchfield volume 1-Elkhorn city to Erwin (a 1990 flashback to the csx line with other road names like Santa Fe, seaboard, Baltimore & Ohio chessie system, Norfolk southern, & some stills & film clips of 10 wheeler number 1 that is still on display at the B&O museum. It ran for 95 minutes and was made in 1992)
5. Steam on the great smoky mountains railway (a June 1992 visit to the line for 2 days of action with former US army/Reader railroad/Fremont & Elkhorn Valley 1702). Sadly this full hour video doesn’t have any narration whatsoever.
And 6. This is clinchfield volume 3 part 1-cab ride from Erwin south to Spartanburg (a 77 minute journey aboard CSX F unit 116 in 1990, an SD40-2 in 1987, an unknown unit in 1985, and vintage 1960s films with a Geep & 1882 built 10 wheeler number 1 on the former clinchfield mainline).
All of these titles are on both dvd & blu-ray by Green frog productions.
Most of these programs in this lot were recorded on Maxell brand tapes, as well as most of them that comes with maps of the clinchfield line & saluda grade.
