Guy Brant was no ordinary cinematographer. He was up in time to catch the Capitol Limited when it came bustling through the golden haze of summer dawn. It was well below zero when he captured a volcano plume of winter exhaust against a steely blue. This film has switchers, Q-4's, streamlined Pacific'sand both B&O and C&O mallets, but it concentrates on the culmination of B&O steam locomotive design: the T3 Mountain.
This feature paces the streamlined "Cincinnatian" under steam, and shows branch lines, wrecks, and EM-1 mallets. EM-1s are then compared with the C&O's giant 2-6-6-6s. Real railroading, exactly as it was: 267 run pasts and pacing shots- 52 double headers. All color. |
