2018 was difficult year for big steam, as an Amtrak policy change in late March effectively ended mainline excursions for many locomotives. Nonetheless, a number of big locomotives were still running and we traveled across the country "In Search of Steam" in order to film five of them in action. Our first stop was Chattanooga, Tennessee in mid-March, where Southern Railway 2-8-0 #630 and 2-8-2 #4501 doubleheaded on a short freight train during a 2-day photo charter at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.
Next we traveled to Cheyenne, Wyoming in July to see Union Pacific 4-8-4 #844 pull the Cheyenne Frontier Days Train for, what ended up being, the last time. Sadly, the long running annual excursion was discontinued the following year. Then in September we visited Chicago, Illinois for a weekend of â?Joliet Rocketâ excursions with Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 #765 on Metra's Rock Island Line. This was the second straight year #765 ran these half-day trips, which featured open vestibules and 60mph running. After the excursions, we chased #765 on the ferry move back to Fort Wayne, Indiana.
This program concludes the following weekend with 2 locomotives in action. We visited eastern Pennsylvania on Saturday September 22nd to see Reading & Northern 4-6-2 #425 on an excursion from Mountain Top to Jim Thorpe, including an unassisted run up the grade on the return trip. Then the following day we traveled west to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, as #765 pulled a couple of short excursions out of Akron, Ohio during the annual 'Steam in the Valley' event.
Filmed entirely in HD, this video showcases five big steam locomotives working hard, including some high-speed running and great stack talk. This program has minimal narration (with the option to turn it on or off) and no distracting music.
In addition to the standard widescreen DVD, this program is also available on HD Blu-ray disc.
