Review of The Phoebe Snow Lackawanna Diesels DVD

MEMORIES OF LACKAWANNA DIESELS offers a nostalgic portrait of the Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad in the early 1960s, featuring a variety of classic diesels pulling freight and passenger trains on the eastern end of the line. You'll see exciting action along the Hoboken - Scranton main line, including activities at the classic Hoboken Terminal, commuter and freight trains on the Boonton line from Croxton to Denville, and long-distance passenger trains including the luxurious Phoebe Snow.

Locomotives featured include EMD F3, FT, E8, and GP7 units; Alco PA passenger diesels and road switchers; and the famous Faribanks-Morse Trainmasters.

THE PHOEBE SNOW depicts the history and operation of the Lackawanna's finest passenger train. Opening with a narrated history of the railroad's legendary Phoebe Snow advertising campaign, which featured a series of catchy jingles, the program then describes the train's motive power and equipment.

A series of exciting full-colo
