DVD-Neff Conrail Buffalo Line2 (Kase PA to Renovo PA)

East Broad Top

Only one visit to the EBT is enough to realize how special this National Historic Landmark really is. The EBT is one of the very few places in North America where one can still see steam powered action AND railroad history virtually untouched by time.

With bright, crisp 16mm film, and all in color, Emery caught all the action from the early 50's through two Winter Spectaculars in the 70's. You will see freight and passenger action, double headers and even triple headers as they work their way up and down the line. 120 Minutes

 

Western Maryland Scenic Railroad

Beautiful coverage of this tourist line which runs on ex-Western Maryland trackage. An Alco RS-3 and FPA-4 haul this train through great mountain scenery. 32 Minutes

 

The Pennsylvania Railroad

Beginning in the summer of 1952...This DVD covers the time frame from 1952 to 1969. Follow Emery and his 16mm Bolex cameras as he records in beautiful color the end of steam and the transition to first generation diesels.

Locations covered are: Tunnel Hill, Horseshoe Curve, Holidaysburg, Altoona, Fort Wayne, Wallbridge Yard, The 'Corridor' as well as many other 'hot spots'.

Cass & Mower Logging Trains

Carl Franz has been showing off logging trains on the Cass for over 20 years. In cooperation with the Cass Scenic Railroad of West Virginia, he has run logging trains through the woods, up switchbacks, and with double headed trains! The Spectaculars ran in spring, fall and winter.

Carl, along with his friend Robert Flack, captured some of the most fantastic material ever shot of logging trains on 16mm film. In this DVD you will see Shay's #2, #3, #4, #5, and Heisler #6 work logging trains up to lofty Bald Knob (4,842 ft.). You'll also witness action with Western Maryland Shay #6 on the Durbin branch, (the now extinct ex-C&O Greenbriar branch).

The winter shots are really spectacular, some in blinding blizzards!...and the spring and fall shots will also take your breath away! There is action of each of these trains filmed from special photo trains, as well as the traditional all steam train race near the Cass station!

There are NO tourist trains in these shots...just logging trains! In addition, this DVD includes more than 15 minutes of film from the predecessor to the Cass, the Mower Lumber Company. This 16mm color footage shows actual logging operations of Mower and other footage from Cass, shot by photographer Robert Flack!

The Mower Company footage includes log loaders and skidders, log trains being loaded, switched, dumped, and logs being dragged by the 'green chain' into the mill! 89 Minutes

 

CSX 8-Baltimore Service Lane-Cumberland Business Unit

Travel with Green Frog through mountains, CSX shops, and a bit of steam on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad as we follow more CSX operations. This DVD takes you on the Baltimore Service Lane, and the Cumberland Business Unit.

The terms 'Service Lane' and 'Business Unit' are CSX's new definitions of a 'Division' although 'Sub-divisions' are still part of each 'Service Lane' and 'Business Unit'. This DVD covers portions of Cumberland, Cumberland Terminal, Keystone and Mountain Subdivisions as well.

You'll have an opportunity to visit inside the CSX engine facilities at Cumberland and witness the repair and maintenance facilities. See the first CSX 700, and SD70AC being used for crew training, wheel repairs, and much more.
