Go back to the most famous battleground between steam and gradient in the world. Here is mightiest steam in the Pennsy stable -- in fact on any railroad roster. Rare b&w footage from the 1930s and 1940s shows K-4s, M-1s (Mountains), Js (2-10-4 Texans), the famed I Class Decapod (600 2-10-0s, the largest fleet in the world), even E-6 Atlantics, heavyweight Pullmans and brass rail observations climbing the curve. Sync sound scenes include the famous 'banshee whistle'. See many high-speed run pasts rounding the curve from trackside plus views from on board and in the cab.<br><br>Color footage from the 1940s and 1950s shows double and triple headers on the famous Horseshoe Curve in summer, the T-1 4-4-4-4s and Q-2 4-4-6-4s. The DVD closes with the arrival of the diesels: a Baldwin Centipede, E-7s and E-8s and, finally, the lo-nose hoods.<br><br><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5BDAMvD4YLQ?val=0" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
