This program shows the operation of the MCCRR in detail including steam doubleheaders and winter running in the snow.
It's the intriguing and unique story of the road's success...and the heartbreaking tale of its ultimate failure.

I received this as a Christmas present this year and completely forgot to write a review until now. I was very happy to receive this DVD about this once-proud and prominent New Jersey tourist line. It's a shame what happened to this operation - however, it's a fantastic look at the "Rise & Fall" of this steam-powered railroad. Hopefully one day in the not-too-distant future, 0-6-0 #4039 will have its' restoration finished, and she can run the rails of New Jersey once more.
There's a young Rich Melvin narrating the film as well, which is always a bonus to me. :D

This looks like a definite story of the railroad's ups and downs between the sixties and eighties. People at the Whippany Railway Museum should really bring the two steam engines back to life, they've been statically stalled long enough since their last runs.
