Great passenger train sequences on most roads! Steam excursions: (Run-bys and onboard) Grand Trunk Western #6218 in winter scenes.
Grand Trunk Western #5629 and #6322. Also included are some beautiful steam sequences on the Chicago & Northwestern. Locos #590, 638, 656, 583, 505, 615, and 598 are featured, as well as #629 (streamlined for Dakota & North Woods "400's").
Steam ended on the C&NW just one month after these shots were taken! 98% color, from original 8mm film, professionally transferred on state of the art liquid gate system.
