Volume 4 of the Kantner Collection is the conclusion of the footage filmed from the early 1970s to the early 1980s.
In this volume, we look at waning years of the anthracite railroads and progression to the inevitable formation of Conrail.
Under Conrail, Arch and Bruce captured the varied, colorful lashups on the main lines and branch lines into the Conrail blues.
Sit back and enjoy the series finale of their tour of northeast railroading as told by Mike Bednar.
NARRATED WITH COMMENTARY BY MIKE BEDNAR
COLOR; APPROXIMATELY 42 MINUTES RUN TIME

This final volume from the Kantner brothers is a fitting end to the series. Beyond the historical value, thanks are due to the brothers for the footage, obviously well done and cared for over the years-otherwise the results of JPM would be different, if it existed at all. A well done series, every railfan should consider. All are recommended. The minus for this volume is the shorter run time tan the other volumes

I've quickly become addicted to the John Pechulis releases. First starting with the "Bednar" series, then having a look at the last 2 dvd's in the Kantner Collection. Vol 4 in this series is easily one of the best dvd's I've ever viewed, if you're a fan of fallen flags. Not only does it cover a multitude of railroads from the mid 60's to the early 70's, included fantastic footage of the Reading, Lehigh Valley, EL, the D&H, CNJ, and the Penn Central, but you also get the unassuming, but extremely informative (and entertaining) narration of Big Mike Bednar. The footage continues to be top-notch, given it's origination-date, and the synchronized sounds are spot-on. If you like the fallen flags, trust me, you can't miss with this one!
