In this recent program, there are various road names shown in alphabetical order. This was one of the longest vintage GSVP titles ever made. Here�s how it goes: first comes the cb&q, Chicago & Northwestern commuters with some early diesels in Chicago are shown, plus the Detroit Toledo and ironton quickie as well as the Illinois Central with some farming equipment shown in the beginning of this segment. Quite interesting about the synthesizer though. First steamer in the IC segment is 1589 doing some freight work. Next the farmers are going to set up the red water tank. A semi-time lapse of the setting up the tank was eventually included, plus 2-8-2 number 1225 (Not the future famous Pete Marquette Berkshire) also doing some freight work as well. Plus some scenes in the east St. Louis roundhouse and mainlines. In Michigan, we witnessed Grand Trunk Western action in 1957 by the producer�s father. Eventually the streamlined northern 6405 was a resemblance to Vinnie from Thomas the tank engine�s great race movie. Finally the segment was finished as we see future famous survivor 4-8-4 6323 in Grand Rapids, as well as a brief cab ride. Heading closer to the Atlantic, we witnessed one of the Long Island Railroad�s consolidations as 107 is doing some chores. Plus Pennsylvania K4 5406 is also shown in this segment, as the Long Island is surprisingly owned by the Pennsylvania. Our next segment shows one of Greg�s favorite steamers that are long gone forever, which were the Louisville and Nashville 1800 & 1900 series 2-8-4s by the producer�s father. Some scenes with the NYC took place during the filming of NYC Steam finale from 2004. Pacing 1986 is also included, as well as some action in decoursey yard. On the Milwaukee road, we see something that we don�t see everyday, as an inter urban streetcar is stopped or wait for engine 941 to pass by with a caboose. Next we see some 4-8-4s starting with 269 in the yard idling, as well as in and out of the cab of 207, plus some yard scenes, freights, and also a damaged 260 going backwards, plus a long scrapped Hiawatha, as well as some clear quality quickies. Moving on to the NYC we see some supplements by Victor Shattock during filming of the vintage rail journey from 2010. On the NKP, we witnessed some Berkshires shot by the producer�s father in 1957 and 1958 only. As 753 is doing some chores first, followed by a local with 2-8-2 525, 1958 action with Berkshire 764 doing chores, as it wore a mars light. Moving on to the Norfolk and western we see 1233 on a coal train with helper engine 2166, as well as more articulated action on the grade. Plus J class Northern 604 on passenger service, and z class 2-6-6-2 1462 in the siding. The final 10 minutes of this program takes us to some action on the Rock island with a decent variety of mikados in the 40s, as well as 3 different shorelines beginning with none other than future famous Mississippian railway 77 now Alberta prairie 41 which some clips were shown in the riding the Alberta prairie DVD in 2011, next comes the Ohio river coal company, with 4 wheeled tank engines, and this program came to a close as we see the Morehead and North Fork Shortline, in Kentucky by the producer�s father. Like many of Greg�s vintage programs, this was composed by gene Michael productions. And like many of Greg�s 2017 programs minus the original 1987 editing of the 1218 rebuilding show, this was narrated by Brian sellers. |
