A 2 THE GLORY MACHINES [DVD-R] 56 min $52.00
Herron Rail Video
This is the program that must surely become an archive classic. Made largely from long abandoned and forgotten film that was rescued just as it was being thrown away. The Glory Machines tracks 31 railroads, some to a greater, some to a lesser degree and a few just as brief cameos. This is more professional than just an amateur's film shots, and is truly a unique and superb record of American railroading from the 1920s to the 1950s. Too much to detail fully, we list all railroads covered and give some idea of the contents.

Carl Franz has been showing off logging trains on the Cass for over 20 years. In cooperation with the Cass Scenic Railroad of West Virginia, he has run logging trains through the woods, up switchbacks, and with double headed trains! The Spectaculars ran in spring, fall and winter. Carl, along with his friend Robert Flack, captured some of the most fantastic material ever shot of logging trains on 16mm film. In this DVD you will see Shay's #2, #3, #4, #5, and Heisler #6 work logging trains up to lofty Bald Knob (4,842 ft.). You'll also witness action with Western Maryland Shay #6 on the Durbin branch, (the now extinct ex-C&O Greenbriar branch). The winter shots are really spectacular, some in blinding blizzards!...and the spring and fall shots will also take your breath away! Beside breathtaking runbys, there is action of each of these trains filmed from special photo trains, as well as the traditional all steam train race near the Cass station! There are NO tourist trains in these shots...just logging trains! In addition, this DVD includes more than 15 minutes of film from the predecessor to the Cass, the Mower Lumber Company. This 16mm color footage shows actual logging operations of Mower and other footage from Cass. The Mower Company footage includes log loaders and skidders, log trains being loaded, switched, dumped, and logs being dragged by the "green chain" into the mill!(Also available on video: NAS 047, $45.00) Colour / Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound / Narration

Giant of Steam

Ross Rowland steam locomotive excursions began modestly with a series of High Iron Company trips in the mid 1960s featuring ex Canadian Pacific 4-6-2s and ex Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 #759. Ross next created the famous Golden Spike Centennial Ltd in 1969 to celebrate the completion of the transcontinental railroad again featuring #759. The magnificent American Freedom Train followed in 1975 and '76. Pulled by several steam locomotives on a 21 month transcontinental tour, visiting 138 cities and attracting 7,000,000 visitors.
In 1977 / 78, Ross developed the Chessie Steam Special to honour the 150th Anniversary of the B&O Railroad. More than 100 steam-powered excursions pulled by ex-Reading 4-8-4 2101 were run over the Chessie System. Two years later, another series of trips, dubbed the Chessie Safety Express were pulled by ex C&O #614. 614 rode the rails again in 1985 to help Rowland's American Coal Enterprises conduct test to develop a new generation of coal-powered locomotives designed to lessen the dependence on foreign oil. Ross' most recent project was the Erie Limited a series of passenger excursions on New Jersey Transit's high-speed main line between Hoboken, NJ and Port Jervis, NY, between 1996 and 1998.
C&O 614 - Chessie Safety Express (Re-released)

Jerry Jacobson is a railroad entrepreneur. An interest in railroads from a young age led to him developing the Ohio Central Railroad. He started buying short pieces of line and managed to get revenue loads starting with steel and coal but he developed his business and bought up more track so that a more comprehensive shortline was developed. Local businesses now ship bricks, grain and lumber on the line. BUT he also has a number of Steam locomotives and here we see them double heading, side by side and triple headed. We hear how this man has managed to bring the Ohio Central to life, how his entrepreneurial skills have used money earned through revenue to build his collection of steam locomotives. He enjoys the variety of diesel locomotives that he has put together for revenue service but he loves his steam locomotives. Goodheart has been video taping the OC since 1997.

Mark 1 Video Productions

Canadian Pacific heavy 4-6-2, No. 2317 is one of the star performers at the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Constructed by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1923. this handsome engine pulled main line freight and passenger trains across Canada until her retirement in 1959. Purchased by preservationist F. Nelson Blount in 1965, the big Pacific was rebuilt and returned to service in 1978 at Steamtown's previous location in Bellows Falls, Vermont. Due to her large size, the 2317 could not haul excursion trains over the Vermont Railway, but when Steamtown moved to Scranton, the big Pacific finally had a magnificent piece of railroad where she could really strut her stuff! This fine program traces the fascinating history of the various classes of Canadian Pacific 4-6-2s, with the emphasis on the 2317 and her G5 class cousins. Through full-colour archive film, you will see these colourful locomotives in regular service, along with other CP classes like the famous 4-4-4 Jubilees and 4-6-4 Royal Hudsons. The six surviving G5s are shown in fantrip service, along with the 2317's Vermont debut.

The logging ‘lokey’ seemed to roam all over the timberlands of North America. These go-everywhere, do-everything mechanical beasts were the raucous cousins of the iron horse. Their distinct personalities fire the imaginations of modem steam wizards dedicated to keeping them alive. Many logging locomotives were run until they were totally worn out. At Mount Rainier in Washington State a home was given to some of these marvellous locomotives and even corroded hulks had a new breath of life breathed into them. Hear about the problems of restoration and running this unique railroad. Informative commentary compares the Shay, Heisler and Climax explaining their strengths and weaknesses as well as their unique engineering. See historically accurate action locations in the heart of big timber country. Featuring the diverse logging locomotive collection of the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad Museum in Washington State.

S 128 STEAM-POWER SAWMILL [DVD-R] 112 min $50.00

Golden Rail Video

The sawmill that time forgot. An action-packed look at an industrial survivor. The fascinating story of North America's last commercial mill still powered by steam. Screaming machines, gut-instinct, quick-decisions, and steam power. This is industrial action the way it once was. Hidden away in the lush forest of Oregon's Coastal Range is a 1930's-era sawmill almost untouched by time. Every morning the steam whistle of the feisty Hull-Oakes Lumber Company echoes off the nearby trees. The vintage steam-powered equipment is again fired-up to process old-fashioned long and large timber of Douglas fir for the world market.

Explore all the details of this fascinating mill from log pond to head rig. Everything from steam engines and boilers right down to the old straddle-carriers that scoot around the lumber yard. You will crawl underneath for rare views of the mill works. Venture into the woods with the loggers for a first-hand look at forest operations. Thoroughly entertaining and educational.

BONUS: Servicing the mill is a 100 year-old rail line built by the Southern Pacific RR. What better way for us to get to the mill than to ride in the cab of the mill train. Adding to the intrigue is the Willamette & Pacific's locomotive #1801, an old Southern Pacific GP-9 decorated in its historic ‘Black Widow’ paint scheme.

S 130 THUNDER UNDER HEAVEN Vol. 1 ~ 'Thunder from the Wild West’ [DVD-R] 78 min $50.00

Golden Rail Video

Like the wild wild west of the 1880's, the human story unfolds with the beautiful Arizona scenery setting the stage.

Imagine in one short year how a lonely cattle ranch in the high desert explodes into an old west-style Las Vegas? Saloons, ...gambling, ...supplies for the trail, ...and fortunes won and lost on a draw of a card.

Here is just a taste of what you will get to see. Cowboys, prospectors, loggers, ranchers, workers, and fortune-seekers suddenly ride in from all over the high desert and beyond to forge a town where the rules are being made up as they go along. That's what happened to Williams, Arizona in 1881-'82, but what was the thunder-clap that sparked this ‘stampede’? It was the Santa Fe Railway! In 1881, the Santa Fe Pacific carved the first mainline across the state of Arizona...and nothing would ever be the same. Back then, the Grand Canyon was considered nothing more than a ‘big hole’ inside a forest preserve. Good for mining...and maybe ‘spittin' into’. Prospectors were about the only ones really interested in it. So why did the Santa Fe Railway just a few years later jubilantly proclaim itself to be ‘The Grand Canyon Line’? Well, that's just part of the little-known history of the world's most famous National Park. ...the history that comes alive for you in Thunder From the Wild West. See how it got started...how it grew...and how it affected the people of the high desert Canyonlands. Visiting the site of historic cattle ranches along the line gives you a glimpse of life in the high desert before and after the arrival of the Santa Fe Railway. And then later, you'll hear the story why the Grand Canyon Line whithered and was abandoned...how it was nearly torn up...and how it came back to life.

Discover the new Grand Canyon Railway's race against time to bring the first steamer (#18) back to life from a 35-year slumber...while the whole world watched! Tour the locomotive shop where legendary steam locomotive #4960 was carefully restored...costing over one and a half million dollars! First generation diesels are now almost as rare as steam locomotives. The new Grand Canyon Railway has those, too...an elegant fleet of ALCo passenger diesels. (Have you ever seen the engine-room of these old beasts? - In this title you will!)

See moments frozen in time...snowy winter railroading with steam and first generation diesel equipment. Presented in 5.1 Surround Sound

By the mid 1950s the Norfolk & Western was America's last steam stronghold. With diesels on the horizon, the period between 1955 and 1959 brought more photographers to this railroad than any other southern line experienced, resulting in an abundance of fine quality material. This series will chronicle those days of N&W power and glory.
Volume 1: Beginning with an overview of the main N&W locomotive classes, journey on to Columbus and Portsmouth, Ohio to view locomotive classes A, K2a, M and S1a. Then, at Kenova, West Virginia, witness a grand parade of main line freight and passenger trains. With the yards nearby, the depot offered time freights and coal drags of 180 hoppers pulled by 2-6-6-4 A class articulateds, passenger runs assigned to J and K2a class engines and with other runs handled by Y, K1 and S1a class engines. On to the famed Abingdon Branch see mixed trains 201 and 202 running with M class 4-8-0s. Chase this backwoods operation and go along as a passenger. Known as the "Virginia Creeper", the line gained fame in the mid-1950s as the subject of O.Winston Link's incredible photography and recordings. Also, we present a look at the diesels coming on line with GP;9s in red and black plus Alco RS11s and more at Bluefield, Kenova, Roanoke and other areas.

Stan�s brilliant photography has created a rare and marvellous time capsule that will allow you to experience the very real atmosphere of New England steam railroading 50 years or more ago. Be there to witness fantastic atmospheric scenes of steam engines going about their daily work in the cold light of dawn and heavy mists to doubleheaded freights with pushers blasting up grade. Fantastic! Leaving Boston, we trace the B&M - MEC seasonal train �The Mountaineer� en route to Intervale where a Maine Central crew assumes the run up �THE NOTCH�. You�ll enjoy the view of the rear platform as the E-7 attacks the grade.

You will see Y6 2-8-8-2s, K2s, Ms and S1a class shifters at work in their daily assignments. With the majestic Shenandoah Valley for a background, no portrayal of the N&W was ever more beautiful. Winter is perhaps the most dramatic time to pursue steam and the sequence of steam in snow beside the frozen Shenandoah River is stunning, perhaps worth the tape alone! Also included is a chase of a rare 1956 excursion with K1 and K2 mountain types doubleheaded. A lot of action you are sure to watch over and over again.
Volume 4 - Tipple To Tidewater
Filmed in the late 1950s, this all steam rememberance of coal movement is heavy action in every sense. Never were the Glory Machines more glorious.

Rails in the Heartland - The L&N, C&EI and IT ~ It was an era of war and heartbreak and then of peace and hope and prosperity. The nation's railroads were stressed nearly to the limit during World War II and then emerged from the conflict to confront nearly worn-out and aging steam locomotives and a dwindling passenger business. Despite this, it was still a heady period on the high iron. Gene Miller was in the Heartland during this era shooting 16mm movies of this tough transition initially, in and around Evansville, Indiana. Many of our rail action scenes were shot in Evansville where the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railway made an end-to-end connection with the Louisville and Nashville at the L&N passenger depot alongside the Ohio River. The C & E I entered Evansville from the northeast, ran down the middle of Division Street, and jogged over one block to end at the depot which had run-through tracks and a stub-end terminal for Louisville & Nashville trains. The L&N headed west, across Pigeon Creek, where its line to St. Louis split off at a wye at North Howell. The L&N’s Howell Yard and bustling engine terminal were alongside the line heading south to Louisville and Nashville. Colour / Narration / Sound
