American Altavista VHS Old Milwaukee Road 261 On The New River Train 1994 1995

Description

For the next 100 minutes in the American altavista version of the final run of steam on the new river gorge, you’ll be onboard the train, go trackside, & even admire the lovely autumn colors in the mountains. Along the way, there are flashbacks to the region where nickel plate 765 was in charge of these trips. And one other thing: this program was recorded on a maxell tape. There are more producers that made a visit to the region at the exact same time: Greg Scholl (both on great steam trains volume 3 & America By Rail winter wonderland which was co-produced by railway productions) main line motion pictures, skyfire video, & Goodheart productions. In recent years, this program was acquired by green frog productions, & was not only converted to DVD for the very first time, but also on Blu-ray as well. While it’s sad that 1994 was the final year for not only the original Norfolk Southern steam program & of course mainline steam through West Virginia’s scenic line from Huntington to Hinton, it is fortunate that these scenes can capture what the true spirit of big mainline action is all about.
