This outstanding program presents Alco and Baldwin diesels in action on the railroads of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Join legendary Dieselmeister Jim Boyd, Editor of Railfan & Railroad Magazine, as he hunts now-retired Chicago and North Western Alco C628s and RS32s, Alligators and other exotic beasts on the Lake Superior and Ishpeming, Baldwin switchers ont he Escanaba & Lake Superior and a Green Bay & Western Alco RS11.
It's all here: multi-color LS&I lashups, the "world's cleanest Baldwin" in GN colors on the E&LS, pacing a C&NW C628, RS32s noisily switching opposing yard leads in Appleton, even a GB&W RS11 almost wiping out a motorist on side-of-the-road trackage!
Jim Boyd's insightful and often humorous commentary, combined with expert camera work and a stunning stereo soundtrack by Marc Balkin, make Alcos, Iron Ore, and More! one of the finest diesel programs ever produced.
