This is a great show. Lots of steam trains in the U.S and Canada. From trackside to cab views and locomotives going up hills, it's all here!

This combo from the 2006-2007 season features volumes 1 & 2 from 1994, with footages shot from 1987-1991(The JVC era). First in part 1, there's June 1991 action of NKP 587 on an excursion from Frankfort to Munchie, IN. Next there's late September or early to mid October 1989 footage on the Conway scenic railroad with CN 7470(I was shocked that Greg was there before I exist.), plus a cab tour of N&W 1218 in 1987, and 611 on the stall at peebles hill in 1990. In part 2, there is September 1989 action on the now gone Salem & Hillsbourogh railroad which is now the New Brunswick Railway museum. First there's CN 1009 on a passenger train, plus CP 4-4-0 29 before it was burned in flames years later, now outside CP HQ. As well as 1009 on a special freight. There is also September 1, 1991 action with NKP 765 built in 1944 on a baseball special from St. Albans WV to Cincinatti, a couple weeks after the NRHS convention in Huntington. Finally in December 1990, there is a TTI Christmas train with Reader Railroad 2-6-2 11. The only locomotive in operation today? 611.
