Review of Snow Trains on the East Broad Top DVD

Vintage film shot by railfans show the EBT from 1951 through 1980! Most of the film was shot in the 1970s and includes actual, on-the-scene sound. The oldest film comes from a narrow gauge fan trip taken in June 1951. From the depths of summer we head into winter and trains working through the cold and snow. All four operable 2-8-2 narrow gauge steam locomotives are shown in action!See double and even triple headers! Shot primarily on sound film, with some silent film (now with added, synced, sound) and professionally transferred to DVD. 16mm/8mm color film, Sound film and silent film with sound added. No narration.
