Review of Memories of the Pennsylvania Railroad DVD

MEMORIES OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD - VOLUME I opens with steam action on the Long Island Railroad as 4-6-0 50 pulls an excursion train to such locations as Sunnyside Yard, Bay Ridge Terminal, and Oyster Bay. You’ll also view other LIRR power, including 2-8-0 107 and Fairbanks-Morse C-Liner diesel units.

Next, it's off to South Amboy, NJ, to watch the famous Class K4s 4-6-2 Pacifics in action. Tour the engine terminal and see single- and double-headed trains on the line to Bay Head. The program closes with a tour of the Philadelphia Hi-Line in 1937 and coverage of an Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia. You'll see hordes of GG1s pulling charter trains of Army Cadets and Navy Midshipmen to the game.

VOLUME II relives the glory of the Pennsylvania Railroad as powerful steam and diesel locomotives blast across your screen!

Beginning with a brief visit to the busy Altoona yards, you'll see a fantastic sequence filmed at famed Horseshoe Curve feat
