THE MIDLAND AND TWO CENTRALS features steam power in action on the Chicago & Illinois Midland, New York Central, and Illinois Central in the mid-1950s as filmed in color by railfan author/photographer John Szwajkart.

In the Kankakee area, you'll see NYC Hudsons, Mohawks, and 0-8-0s, and chase 4-8-2s on Illinois Central's main line to Champaign. A visit to IC's Kentucky Division offers exciting views of steam in action near Paducah, featuring 4-8-2s, 2-10-2s, and more. You'll also tour the Central City yards and ride behind an IC fantrip 4-8-2. This fine program is narrated by Jim Boyd, Editor of Railfan Magazine.
