Pennsylvania Collection Combo

Pennsylvania Collection Combo, The (DVD Video)

Featuring The Pennsylvania Railroad Collection and The Standard Railroad of the World

For 125 years, the Pennsylvania Railroad was the leader of its industry and proudly called itself the Standard Railroad of the World. Now, for the first time, two outstanding video productions about the Pennsy have been combined onto one DVD for your total viewing entertainment! Featured are:

The Standard Railroad of the World: The mighty Pennsy is well represented in this superb video biography. Youll see steam, diesel, and electric power including K-4s and GG-1s, T1 Duplex 4-4-4-4s, shiny E-units, and even doodlebugs. Penn and Washington Union Stations are shown and youll enjoy images of the Broadway and Congressional Limiteds. Also featured are the Northeast Corridor (including the Long Island Railroad) and commuters; inclined planes of the 1830s; Horseshoe Curve, Rockville Bridge, and Enola Yards; the wreck of the Federal Express and the birth of the Metroliners. Producer and director Bill Warrick spent years poring over archival footage and data and the result is this milestone production. Color and B&W.

The Pennsylvania Collection: The Pennsylvania Railroad of the 1950s was a railroading show unlike anything else. With powerful duplex-drive T1s, classic GG-1 electrics, and next generation cab unit diesels, the Pennsy was truly a class act. In this video youll get to sample that era through a collection of previously released Pennsylvania Railroad publicity films. Included are: Progress on Rails, Wheels of Steel, Opening a New Frontier, and Clear Track Ahead. B&W.

Besides the New York Central the Pennsy defined PA and they built Horseshoe curve in Altoona PA.

NS can say whatever it wants but Horseshoe curve belongs to the Pennsy! Conrail was the honorable take over owner of the lines in the Pennsy area.

RIP Pennsy!

Hmm, I wonder if that DVD has any footage of the Pennsylvania 6-8-6 One-of-a-kind Steam Turbine...

[trainguy3]

I love the Pennsy, I live here, I NEED THIS!!!!!!

[orison319]

you think buying this dvd will save the rail road.. not.. just puts money in a fools pocket.. bye RR..

I have an MTH turbine, I love the lionel ones, but I'm talking about a prototypically accurate turbine.

[NorfolkAndWestern578]

What about Lionel's Postwar Turbines? I have the 671, and I think you can get one for about $300, in good condition.

[callinstead09]

Well that's just it, I use Ho. and if i did use O gauge I'm not to impressed with the level of detail in the MTH one, and the Lionel one is expensive, Even though it has the Smoke deflectors I thought id never find!

[NorfolkAndWestern578]

Well, there are pictures and models of it, but as far as I know, there's no video. Lionel and MTH make great models of it in O Gauge, but I think that's the only scale it's available in. And I have some pictures, just ask me if you'd like me to send you some.

[callinstead09]

I'd love to see that! I've been searching around for photos and models of it. There isn't much on it!

Ah the PRR S2.
