This combo collection depicts the steam locomotives of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. Featuring rare archive film collected over a period of ten years, this is the most comprehensive collection of Lackawanna steam ever issued. See the famous 4-8-4 Poconos in all their glory, regal Hudsons, commuter Pacifics, and a variety of freight power. Our superb synchronized sound adds incredible realism to these vignettes from a vanished era.

VOLUME I features a tour of the Main Line to Port Morris, the Boonton and Gladstone lines, and steam on the Morristown & Erie and Rahway Valley connecting shortlines. Enjoy a ride on a Lackawanna ferry, visit Hoboken Terminal, and climb aboard a Rail Camera Safari train for a 1948 fantrip which includes a tour of the Rockaway line and meets with other steam trains.
