CENTRAL VERMONT - winter scenes of 4-8-2 602 at St. Albans, main line action with 2-8-0s and 2-10-4s, pacing a 2-8-0 in the snow, passenger trains at White River Junction, and a ride behind a 4-8-2.
MAINE CENTRAL - 0-6-0s, 4-6-0s, 4-6-2s, 2-8-2s, and 2-10-2s, plus the Flying Yankee streamliner and wreck train scenes with two heavy steam-powered cranes. Locations include the Portland - Waterville main line via Augusta and Lewiston and the Lewi |
