Review of Vignettes of the Chesapeake and Ohio Volume 1 DVD

Tour George Washingtons Railroad from The Mines to The Lakes during the 1950s and 60s through the films of Victor Ketcham and Karl Walters. Visit locations including Rainelle, Huntington, Columbus, and Toledo and see the last of steam and 1st and 2nd generation diesels. Included are H-4 2-6-6-2s, K4 2-8-4s, streamlined Hudsons, F7s and E8s, S2s and SD18s, RSD7s, and of course GP7s and GP9s. Also included are glimpses of Appalachian neighbors Virginian and L and N. So join us as we tour perhaps the most colorful of the Appalachian coal roads and witness the seamless blending of endless coal trains with manifests and varnish, in Vignettes of the CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO! 55 minutes, color with music and narration - DVD-R format.
