We visit ten shortlines with scenes spanning from 1970 to 1998. Two of our visits include cab rides and access in two, truly great shortlines - the A&NR of Texas and CORP in Oregon.
See the Amador Central in its prime and up to the last day of operation. The Amador's blue Baldwins and the Baldwins of the Trona bring you back to an earlier era of diesels.
The ALCO diesels of many roads are in this video. Early GE power is brought to you on the Modesto & Empire Traction Co.
The most dramatic chapter is on the CORP and its 3.6% grades with up to 6 units over the Siskiyou Mountains.
Visit the people on several of these lines for an insider's look at the business of running shortline railroads.
