SIX MOTOR ALCOS

This DVD is a must for the ALCO diesel fan or early Canadian Diesels. The first show captures the Canadian Pacific 4500s and 4700s working container trains and general freight between Montreal and Detroit. We see behind the scenes, aboard the trains, and trackside views. There is good coverage inside the cabs of these big Alcos on the CPR. There are some meets and a scene exiting the Detroit River tunnel in Windsor, among other things. This show has a lot to offer.

The other program is "Alcos in the Highlands", which takes you to Nova Scotia with spectacular east coast scenery. You will see hard working 6 motor Alcos hauling 100 car trains and are captured trackside as well is in the cab of the trains along the various portions of the Cape Britain, and Central Nova Scotia line. Most of the ALCOS are ex-CN power.

This is a nice variety of scenes and places which was probably one of the last strongholds of ALCO power in CANADA.

Narration and live train sounds, with quality camera work and equipment.
