Title: Arizona's Shortline Railroads (VHS video)
Publisher: Pentrex Produced by Pentrex 1992.
Seller ID: P117
The natural beauty of Arizona's desert landscape creates a dramatic setting for the unique group of shortline railroads, that cut across the state. Powered by older-model locomotives from Baldwin, Alco, and EMD, Arizona's shortlines provide us with an excellent opportunity to view these classic machines in operation. When these smoking diesels are filmed against a desert alive with the colors of spring wildflowers, the result is a visually stunning experience. The copper roads are exciting to watch. We see the Copper Basin, San Manuel Arizona, Magma Arizona, and the Arizona Eastern in action. An Arizona & California train is followed across the western part of the state to its headquarters in Parker. This new regional line is a first-class operation, and its newly-painted diesels gleam under Arizona's sunny skies. We conclude our presentation with a tour of the Apache Railroad, and a ride on a road train to Holbrook and back. Five of Apache's Alcos power the train; it's an awesome sight and the sound is incredible! This is an exhilarating experience you'll want to watch over and over again. 100 Minutes In Color with Live Audio and Narration. Packaged in Sturdy Vinyl Clamshell Case. Retail $39.95.
