Review of A Potpourri of RR Action - Railfanning with George Redmond 1985-1999 Vol 1 DVD

Journey back to the 1980s and 1990s for a look at Railroad Action in Missouri, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska with cameraman George Redmond.

In this first volume, we will be looking at contemporary action on these following roads:

Burlington Northern
Early CSX
Conrail
Illinois Central Gulf
Illinois Central
Norfolk Southern
Southern Pacific
Union Pacific

Visit locations like Crawford Hill, Kirkwood, Missouri, Horseshoe Curve, Effingham and Centralia, Illinois and many more! This was filmed right before the last round of mega-mergers that was just on the horizon that would see some popular road names disappear from the North American railroad map. Come along for a trip into the not-so-recent past and relive the days of BN Fuel Tenders, LMX B39-8E's, Southern Pacific Tunnel Motors and much more!
