Review of The Rock Trains - Mt Rainier Railway Bridge Rescue Train DVD

 4.3 of 5 (6)

In the winter of 1996, the Pacific Northwest received a record amount of snow. When the snow finally melted, the Nisqually River in Washington State, goes on a rampage carrying dirt, rock and trees downstream. Along the Tacoma Eastern branch of the old Milwaukee Railroad, a dirt fill leading to an 800 foot railroad bridge is washed away. Over 350 feet of track is severely compromised. The Mount Rainier Scenic Railway is cut in two. To keep the excursion trains running, two steam locomotives are trucked from the shop in Mineral Lake to the passenger depot in the little town of Elbe. It is decided to replace the fill with a bridge. The contractor needs an astonishing amount of large rock. The railroad is contracted to carry the rock from the quarry at Eatonville to the bridge on the Nisqually. This is the story of "The Rock Trains". Widely acclaimed as the most exciting train video EVER. "Superb! Highly Recommended!" - Trains Magazine 84 min. DVD in 5.1 Dolby
