Review of A Century and a Half at Horseshoe Curve DVD

HISTORY UNFOLDS AT AMERlCA'S PREMIER RAlLROAD LANDMARK

1854 saw woodburners, while the end of the Twentieth Century witnessed two-mile long freights pulled and pushed by 30,000 diesel horsepower. One constant has been HORSESHOE CURVE, the vital link between East and West.

Film and video from a dozen sources covers an array of PENNSY STEAM beginning in the early 1900's. The 1950's next offers a smorgasbord of diesel models, followed by the changing PENN CENTRAL and CONRAlL eras. The grand parade of freight and passenger trains includes the Aerotrain; Bicentennial FREEDOM TRAIN, steam specials and winter action. See Tunnel blasting in 1994, Juanita Shops, and more.

ENCORE: An ENTIRE 12,000-ton freight battling around the 'Shoe with helpers front, mid~train, and rear!!
