History railroading. A company that is a fallen flag today with the eventual take over by the CNR. Lots of great action from roughly 30 years ago. Everything from yard transfers to mainline action, including a number of other railroads. Added is alco action in the 1970�s. Railfans of all kinds will love this video. Very well done by the Plets family.
