DISC # 1

Conrail Winter

Photographer Rich Scheid’s professional digital camera captures the last winter for Conrail, and the worst in Conrail's history. Shot on the Dearborn Division, where 32 inches of snow fell in just a few days. Operations came to a halt with snow covered and frozen switches. We visit location’s in Michigan and Ohio along the Detroit to Toledo line, and on the Michigan line which runs from Detroit to Chicago. 69 Minutes

Rotary on the Rio Grande

In 1975 and 1976 the Cumbres and Toltec fired up Rio Grande Rotary OM. These two snow plow adventures run out of Chama during the late winter and inspired many to chase and photograph the events. But none covered it as well as noted photographer, Emery Gulash. In this DVD you will witness the re-creation of the Rio Grande snow trains made famous in the history of the narrow gauge line: bucking snow drifts, backing up and hitting hard again to break the packed snow, powerful showers of snow flinging out the snow chute and burying anything in the snow showers path.

Emery captured some beautiful snow scenes filmed on the Colorado narrow gauge. Locos 492 (a class K-37), 487 and 483 (class K-36's) do the honors in this film. This program depicts the roughest, toughest work the Rio Grande had to endure, and you will want to watch every minute of it over and over to appreciate the effort that went in to keeping the lines open during the winter seasons. From original 16mm color film. 70 Minutes
 

DISC # 2

CSX Toledo Sub. Pt 2

This video covers the CSX Toledo Sub. from Tipp City, Ohio to Wapakoneta, Ohio and was shot from September 2008 to March of 2010. This busy single track line sees abundant action during daylight hours and includes automotive trains carrying both parts and vehicles, commodity trains such as ore, coal, and grain, as well as regular manifest trains. This particular area of the Toledo Sub. has a concentrated number of passing sidings to make rail-fanning this line interesting. In addition, most of these sidings are still controlled by CPL’s or Color Position Light Signals.

This fact alone brings many rail-fans to visit and photograph the Toledo Sub. These ancient CPL’s are slowly being replaced by modern traffic light type signals. Many of these scenes were shot in the frigid, snow blowing winter of 2009-2010. Other areas visited in this video will be Troy, Piqua, Kirkwood, Sidney Jct, Sidney, Swanders, Anna, and Botkins. 82 minutes

Railroading through the Winter of 1993

The Winter of 1993 was extremely tough on almost everyone in the Northeast part of the North American continent. It was especially rough on the railroads. Schedules were only for reference as train crews, dispatchers and gandy dancers worked long hours to clear tracks, rescue stalled trains, and try to keep up some semblance of operation. Robert McCormack of Hamilton Ontario braved many of these elements to capture some great trains-in-snow action.

This video covers the Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, Amtrak, CSX, Grand Trunk, Via Rail, and Co Transit. Locations covered include: Alershot, Burlington West, Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Copetown, Dundas, and Bayview Junction...all in the province of Ontario as well as action in New York State. 59 Minutes
