Our two-DVD program chronicles eight railroad trips which were part of the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) 2012 Annual Convention held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Participants rode behind three different coal-fired steam locomotives on mainline and museum trips, many different diesel locomotives on mainline excursions, and in electric-powered traction cars at two museums. Our program presents all eight days of Iowa Rail Excursions in chronological order, each with its own chapter.
