The East. Pentrex takes you back in time to the late 1950s and 1960s for a close-up look at the waning years of steam locomotives in operation on America's eastern railroads. On the Norfolk & Western-the last major bastion of steam power in the United States-you'll witness the class Js in passenger service near Cincinnati, Ohio and class K, A, and Y steamers in freight service near Columbus, Ohio, Portsmouth, Virginia, and Bluefield, West Virginia. The mighty class S-1 2-10-2s of the Baltimore & Ohio perform both switching and mainline duty near Willard, Ohio and the durable class T-3s roll along the B&O mainline to Chicago. We even see class EM-1 2-8-8-4 Yellowstones pulling coal drags near Grafton, Ohio. At Columbus, Ohio, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, a wide variety of locomotives are seen in action at the yards and roundhouse. Then we join the chase as a pair of class J-1s doublehead north from Columbus with a long coal drag in tow. Also shown are Nickel Plate Road Berkshires and Hudsons , plus a visit to the Burlington and DM&IR for a look at M-4 Yellowstones . Join Pentrex as we go trackside to witness the last days of steam power in the eastern U.S. These exceptional views were captured on 16mm film by noted rail photographer Bruce Ward. 35 Minutes In Color with Live Audio and Narration. Packaged in Sturdy Vinyl Clamshell Case. Retail $29.95.
