In 1994 we did our first America By Rail video, which included Strasburg 475 and Ohio Central 1551. This is footage from that trip, but we show you the whole scenes, and much more than what you may have seen in the previous 1994 video. Ex-Norfolk and Western 4-8-0 number 475 operates from East Strasburg to Leaman Place (Paradise) Pennsylvania. We see shots at the station, plus several trackside runby's. There are also servicing scenes of 475, and running around the train at Leaman Place. There is a nice little grade on the return trip which we cover 2 or 3 times. There is also a little music video of Amish at work and in buggies. This railroad has some of the largest ridership in the country.
Our next stop is in Sugar Creek, Ohio, for the Ohio Central Railroad. They operated a tourist train 5 miles to Baltic and back. Ex-Canadian National 4-6-0 number 1551 is the power. Some of this footage was also used in the America By Rail video, but some is also new, including the 1551 swit |
