Product Highlights
This incredible series brings to you 1950s and '60s footage of the New York Central from cinematographer Emery Gulash. Your trip begins in Michigan where name trains such as The Chicagoan, The Empire State Express, and The Twilight Limited race across the rails, many with a staggering mix of rolling stock. First generation diesels and colorful freights abound as you move through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and New York, seeing many superb "misty" shots as trains punch through moist fog banks. Then, you'll travel along the congested Toledo Division where the simplified 1960s Cigar Band scheme begins to take over and decline seems imminent. You'll view early second generation diesels, new "oversized" freight cars, piggyback service, autoracks and more; visit the Electric Division between Grand Central Station and Harmon; see the exciting "jet trials" with an RDC car; and witness the Penn Central merger. Color, 5 hrs. 15 min. on 4 DVDs.
