Title: Along the Pocahontas District (VHS video)
Seller ID: P109
Coal Trains & Time Freights Travel to Southern West Virginia, deep in the heart of Appalachia, to experience the busy doubletracked stretch of Norfolk Southern mainline called the Pocahontas District. As we tour the Pokey from Williamson to Bluefield, you'll be treated to scenes of heavy coal drags laboring upgrade and speeding time-freights rushing across the system. The rugged terrain of this mountainous district has always been a challenge to the railroad. Numerous bridges carrying the tracks back and forth across many rivers are interspersed with eighteen tunnels that bore through the ridges. The long climb up to Elkhorn Tunnel is a steady 1.4 percent grade. Coal is still king in these parts. We visit a coal mine where strings of hoppers are being topped off with this important commodity. Mine runs with cabooses can be seen as well as fleets of mainline coal drags. NS's newest diesels are dispatched to haul these heavy loads of black diamonds. On the Pocahontas District, the scenery is spectacular and the obstacles are met with ingenuity and brute horsepower. It's a vision of railroading you'll never forget! 92 Minutes In Color with Live Stereo Sound and Narration. Packaged in Sturdy Vinyl Clamshell Case. Retail $29.95.
