The late Frank W. Schlegel spent considerable time collecting films of steam action in the eastern part of the U.S. His collection is now owned by Harold Brandon. Also included is a portion of film from the collection of Vince Ryan and Jack Alexander, two railfan pioneers. In this fantastic program, Green Frog offers you real steam as it was in the 20's through the 40's. You'll see Camelbacks on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, New York Central Steam, steam on the New York Ontario and Western. Reading Railroad, and Delaware and Hudson, much MORE! Approx. Running Time 60 Minutes

Great variety of very rare locomotives and railroads ,many of which I have never seen movies of - and I have over fifty dvds and vhs movies! The quality is fair, obviously poor by todays standards, but is offset by the subject matter. I am not a fan of the synchronized sound [they NEVER really get it correct], but this better than most.
