Wow, this is a pretty good video of articulated "mallet" locomotives. Lots of N&W power pulling long freights up steep curves with helper engines in the middle as well as the end of the train. Big Boys are also seen in this video - there's even scenes of several big boys coupled together chugging through the yards. The last part of this dvd depicts modern scenes of excursions utilizing preserved N&W locomotives as well as UP 4-8-4 844 running together. A must have for the big steam fan.
