Seller ID: bo12dvd
Linking 13 Great States with the Nation - that was the slogan of the B&O Railroad. Step back to the 1950's and 1960's to see what made the Baltimore & Ohio one of the all-time great railroads. The action takes place in Ohio and Pennsylvania, starting in 1954 when steam was king. Articulated locomotives, Mikes, Big Sixes, and many other types of steam power roll past the camera. You'll catch the action at the Lorain ore dock where steam trains unload ships laden with iron ore and also spend time watching the steam switchers at Rossford Yard in Toledo. Then you'll get a look at E and F-units and Geeps in classic B&O paint schemes. The Cincinnatian, which ran from Detroit to Toledo on NYC track and to Cincinnati on the B&O line, is extensively covered. You'll see it under steam and on many runbys headed by diesels. Other passenger trains appear, including the Shenandoah and Nickel Plate's Westerner. Volume 1 of B&O Odyssey, which covers the years 1954 to 1964, is the first in a multi-volume series based on the works of noted railroad photographer Emery Gulash. Pentrex, DVD, 60 min., chapter menu, option to listen with or without narration. Volume 2 of B&O Odyssey, which covers the years 1965 to 1968, is the second in a multi-volume series based on the works of noted railroad photographer Emery Gulash. The odyssey resumes in Michigan, shortly after the B&O had merged with the C&O. Motive power and rolling stock of both roads are seen intermingled. Passenger trains between Detroit and Toledo are seen including the Cincinnatian plus the towers of Wayne Junction, Romulus and Carleton. Moving east Connellsville, PA and Brunswick, MD are visited where heavy freight action is happening. Motive power includes F-units and GP30s. At Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, perhaps the most scenic spot on the B&O, passenger and freight trains are seen making their daily runs. Coverage continues on to Hancock, MD, Ohio, Pennsylvania and back to Michigan where lots more passenger action is observed. Pentrex, DVD, 60 min., chapter menu, option to listen with or without narration. Each DVD Retails $ 29.95 and you can save even more by ordering the set for just $ 45.00!
