Originally three well-received shows, Pentrex and WB Video now bring you "Classic America on Rails Combo", all three WB Video "America on Rails" shows in one great 90 minute package. The original footage has been digitally remastered and color corrected. We'll see railroading from coast to coast, and in all kinds of flavors!
From 16mm film, narration by famous broadcaster Rege Cordic. Musical background. 90% color film.
Section One begins with the famous "6,000 Mile Tour", a 1938 tour sponsored by the National Railway & Locomotive Historical Society and Railroad Magazine. Art Cox shot all the footage on this Combo show, and it begins with his participation on the tour. Art and his 16mm camera take us on a ride behind a Milwaukee Electric "Olympian", and on the Virginia & Truckee.
