Review of Longest Days Berea 2004 DVD

JUNE 2, 2004, A FULL MOON LIGHTS THE WEE HOURS AS FOUR AMTRAK RUNS AND HEAVY CSX AND N-S FREIGHTS DISTURB THE TRANQUILITY OF NIGHT. OVER 80 TRAINS ROLL UNTIL RAINBOW AT DUSK ENDS THIS LONGEST DAY AT TRACKSIDE.

SEE MEETS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA - MULTIPLE ACTION ON FOUR MAIN TRACKS - A MENAGERIE OF LEASE AND OFF-LINE POWER - A W&LE COKE TRAIN - NEW TRACK INSPECTION CAR-SLOW DRAG FREIGHTS TO CSX 70 MPH DOUBLESTACKS, AIR HORNS BLARING FOR FRONT STREET (WEEKS LATER, A WHISTLE BAN WAS TO GO INTO EFFECT). THE ENTIRE CONSISTS OF SELECTED TRAINS ARE PRESENTED.

ADDITIONAL FOOTAGE SEE 1956 NEW YORK CENTRAL (EXCERPTED FROM "ROAD TO THE FUTURE"), AND A BIT OF A 1998 TV SPECIAL ON HOW THE BREAKUP OF CONRAIL WOULD EFFECT BEREA. FROM THE PARKING LOT, OR WHILE ENJOYING A GOOD MEAL AT THE HISTORIC BIG FOUR STATION RESTAURANT, THERE ARE FEW BETTER SPOTS TO VIEW MAXIMUM TRAINS !!
