Description

Steam in the Mountains - Volume 1
Stories of mountain railroads and locomotives
Mount Rainier Scenic RR
is known for its collection of geared logging style locomotives from each of the major builders: Climax, Heisler, Shay, and Willamette. These were built for steep mountain grades and tight curves. We see five locomotives in operation during two visits, including a photo charter with log cars, and with the NRHS 2011 convention special.
Steam at Conway
- we make a brief October visit to Conway Scenic Railroad in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and capture Canadian National #7470 pulling both passenger and freight trains.
Durango & Silverton Photo Freight
- here are our favorite scenes from a 2005 two-day charter, featuring runbys in areas only accessible by train. We encounter a snow storm the first day, and a backdrop of snow capped mountains on day two! (Analog)
The Black Hills Central
- linking Hill City and Keystone South Dakota, this railroad has 4 steam engines and 2 diesels. Our program presents unique locomotive #110, an articulated 2-6-6-2T tank engine built for Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. It is perhaps the loudest locomotive we’ve ever recorded as it climbs Tin Mill Hill!
