Review of Central Vermont Railway in Steam Vol 3 & 4

 5 of 5 (1)
We are continuing our Central Vermont in Steam series. Here is all new, all color film taken in the early fifties. The main video, CV-3, covers CV steam in Willimantic as a southbound local enters the yard, does some switching, then heads south, through South Windham, Lebanon and Norwich. We catch a train in Montville, where a double-header does some switching. Moving north, we sample the action in Monson and Palmer, then on the West Hartford Bridge and at White River Junction. We explore the CV's main facilities in St. Albans, then take a ride in the caboose of the Richford Branch local. This is a classic study of old time railroading and some of the procedures are amazing! CV-4 is an 11 minute bonus video that covers a cab ride from East New London to Mansfield, CT- in a Canadian National EMD covered wagon! This DVD is a "must-have"!
