Review of Union Pacific Super Cabs & Steam DVD

 4.7 of 5 (3)
The revolutionary EMD SD60M and the GE Dash 8-40CW wide cabs were the new look in 1990 when this exciting Union Pacific program was produced. This was also a time when the Union Pacific's ambitious steam program had given rise to frequent steam powered freight and passenger trains pulled by 4-8-4 #844 and 4-6-6-4 Challenger 3985. Broadcast quality video footage by Dave Gross with narration by Rege Cordic.

* EMD SD60M - Union Pacific mainline east & west of Cheyenne, Wyoming.
