By Coal, Volt & Oil: Iowa Rail Excursions, a DVD by Yard Goat Images

Description

Our two-DVD program chronicles eight railroad trips which were part of the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) 2012 Annual Convention held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Participants rode behind three different coal-fired steam locomotives on mainline and museum trips, many different diesel locomotives on mainline excursions, and in electric-powered traction cars at two museums.
Our program presents all eight days of Iowa Rail Excursions in chronological order, each with its own chapter.
