Review of Allegheny Rails Vol 2 The Western Maryland

 5 of 5 (2)
Steam and early Diesel action continues in the Allegheny mountains with the second program featuring the William P. Price 8mm Film Collection.

In this program, we visit the WESTERN MARYLAND in the 1950's. There's steam galore on the WM mainline to Connellsville and the Elkins Subdivision. Watch steam-hauled trains on the Salisbury Viaduct, at Big Savage Tunnel, on Helmstetters Curve, on Black Fork Grade and more.

Featured is the Decapod 2-10-0, Challenger 4-6-6-4, H-9 2-8-0, Pacific 4-6-2 and the Potomac 4-8-4. First generation F-7's and Alco RS-2 diesels herald the end of steam. Historical documentation is provided by Bill Price and Harry Stegmaier, Jr. The narration is by Rege Cordic. Presented with a musical background.
