40023 "The Old Main Line Part 1 – Baltimore to Frederick Junction."
This is the first of a multi-part series of DVD Videos covering the B&O Old Mail Line.
Part 1 covers the area from Baltimore to Frederick Junction. At the request of railfans,
Blue Ridge Productions spent parts of two years shooting whatever trains they could find on
the Old Main Line of the B&O. They give as complete an idea as they can of the trackage
from Baltimore west. Different types of trains were caught while showing different
locations, and LOTS of trains west of Point of Rocks where the Old Main joins the
Metropolitan Sub and heads up the river, capturing multi-track high-volume railroading.
Most trains are CSX powered, although some interesting power units visited, as are MARC and
Amtrak. This video is done like a "Railpace Magazine" article, showing railfans
how to get in & out of an area, what to see, when, etc. If you've never railfanned
the Old Main Line, take an armchair trip up the OML30.00
40024 "The Old Main Line, Part 2, Frederick Junction to Harpers Ferry." This
is the second DVD video in a series surveying the oldest railroad in the Western
Hemisphere. Here we follow the railroad west covering the lightly traveled Old Main Line
Sub-division to Point of Rocks Station where it joins the more heavily traveled
Metropolitan Sub-division. The original Old Main Line went on to Wheeling, W.v. We intend
to follow the rails west as well. Again, we will use U.S. Geological Survey Maps to help
you understand where the tracks run. We will also try our best to show you a complete look
at the significant locations and artifacts of a long-lived railroad. You will see lots of
CSX freight trains and MARC passenger trains, but once we get to the Metropolitan
Sub-division you'll see Amtrak Trains as well. So if you want to see trains, lots
oftrains, come along with us as we survey the oldest railroad in the Western Hemisphere. 90
Minutes. Stereo30.00
40025 "The Old Main Line, Part 3 - Harpers Ferry to Hancock." Blue Ridge
Productions continue this superb DVD video series that surveys the oldest RR in the Western
Hemisphere. The producer videotaped as much of the old right of way as possible. Maps from
the U.S. Geological Survey help you understand where the rails run. See cuts that normally
can’t be seen from local roads. Bonus section covering the track work at Cherry Run,
WV of track gangs removing switches and then installing new switch panels. Then see
volunteers dismantle Miller Tower and move it over back country roads to Martinsburg, WV.
Shot & edited digitally with 5 to 1 Dolby Digital sound tracks30.00
40027 "The Old Main Line, Part 4 - Hancock to Cumberland." This DVD video
includes very scenic but remote locations along the East End of the Cumberland Division of
the old B&O, including high locations to show the tracks in a very different angle. See
the magnificent railroad engineering that makes up the “Magnolia Cutoff” at MP
139, where the tracks cross the great Rockwell Run Fill made from the spoils of tunneling
efforts that failed to pay off until Randolph Tunnel. Tracks run about a mile through Doe
Gully before turning and plunging into the tunnel. Doe Gully sported impressive sides some
as high as 50 to 60 feet and we found the B&O logo still resident on an old signal
bungalo. At Hansrote, tracks curve into 3,355 foot long Stuart Tunnel. We shot the huge
fill and bridge at Magnolia from the top of Tunnel Hill as well as from trackside. We show
you Graham Tunnel and Kessler Bridge from the hill as well. Add “The Concrete
Wall,” Carothers Tunnel, followed by most of the signals to Cumberland Terminal; and
you get a very complete look at impressive turn-of-the-century railroad engineering
(1913-14). All this trackage gets highlighted by lots of CSX trains along with
Amtrak’s Capital Limited30.00
40029 "The Old Main Line, Part 5 – Cumberland to Grafton." This is our
final part in the Old Main Line DVD Video series surveying the oldest railroad in the
Western Hemisphere. We are tackling the fabled "West End" from Cumberland, MD to
Grafton, WV. This part of the Old Main Line crawled up the Allegheny Mountains with storied
17 Mile, Cranberry, Cheat River and finally the Newburg Grade. Again, we will use U.S.
Geological Survey Maps to help you understand where the tracks run. This video also brings
you the awesome sounds of mountain railroading. You will see lots ofCSX coal trains and the
2 daily freight trains. So if you want to hear trains struggling against their tonnage and
the mountain rails, come along with us as we continue our survey of the oldest railroad in
the Western Hemisphere. We've also included a special bonus feature on the West
Virginia Northern. a 100 year old railroad that brought coal to Tunnelton, WV.30.00
40030 "Baltimore & Ohio & Western Maryland Steam in the
1950’s." A Main Line Motion Pictures DVD. Video films of Lee Avis. B&O
heavy grade action on Sand Patch, 2-8-8-4s and 2-10-2s with double headed 2-10-2 pushers.
The Roundhouse and Shops at Cumberland, Baltimore's Riverside Yards; 4-8-4s and 4-8-2s
at Keystone, Pennsylvania. Willard Roundhouse is also shown. For the Western Maryland, you
see Maryland Junction; 2-8-0s, 2-10-0, and 4-6-2s, Passenger Trains; Coal Trains; Also
included are 1950s scenes on what is now the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. This DVD is
approximately 60 minutes in length29.00
40031 “Sand Patch Part 1: East Slope - Cumberland to Sand Patch.” by
Rogers. This is the first of a new DVD video series surveying parts of the oldest railroad
in America. This video follows the Pittsburgh and Connellsville from Cumberland up the east
slope of the Allegheny Mountains. The video shows all the significant points and signals to
fabled Sand Patch tunnel. The P&C was the old B&O’s way to get around the
Pennsylvania Railroad’s efforts to keep the B&O out of Pennsylvania. This video
follows the eastern end of the CSX Keystone Subdivision and shows lots of freights,
intermodals, coal trains, and auto racks30.00
40032 “Sand Patch Part 2: West Slope – Sand Patch to Connellsville.”
This DVD video is the other side of the mountain from the DVD “Sand Patch Part
1” sold through the Society as stock number 40031. The DVD follows CSX tracks down
the West Slope of Sand Patch Grade. This is the less familiar part of the “old
B&O” owned Pittsburgh and Connellsville Rail Road. This part of the CSX Keystone
Subdivision is just as picturesque as the East Slope. It features two huge steel viaducts
from the old Western Maryland Railway, four more tunnels and lots of riverside tracks30.00
40033 "B&O Steam in the 1950s 1954-1958." DVD by Ameling & Travis
B&W and Color by Main Line Motion Pictures. This is not your average B&O steam show
of fast mainline running. This one has lots of heavy freight action being pulled by big
brawny 2-10-2s, 4-8-2s, 2-8-2s, and a host of other class engines over the B&O. Lots of
freight trains. At Willard, Ohio, you get to see the Roundhouse and Turntable, Engines on
the turntable, shoving into the roundhouse (which is full of steam). Working coal towers,
watering, servicing and hostling locomotives. A great video34.95
40034 "Sand Patch Part 3: West Keystone – Connellsville to
Pittsburgh." This DVD video takes you through the rest of the Keystone
Subdivision, then continues into the Pittsburgh Subdivision. From Connellsville, we follow
a fairly level river route through towns and communities very much in transition from the
very heavy mining and industrialized region of days gone by. There are plenty of artifacts
of that rich industrial heritage as well as evidence of the huge struggle for the area to
reinvent itself. We visit the sites of one of the early Southwestern Pennsylvania bourbon
distilleries in Broad Ford, then the home of the early coke industry near Dawson. We pass
near old deep coal and strip mines sites as well. We reach the end of the Keystone
Subdivision just after crossing the Youghiogheny River for the first time in McKeesport,
Pennsylvania.At “Sinns Interlocking” and the old Pittsburgh & Lake Erie
Railroad Signals we enter the Pittsburgh Subdivision. After crossing the
“Yough” again, near its mouth at the Monongahela River, we reach the heavily
populated area South of Pittsburgh. Here we continue our travel through the remnants of the
huge American steel industry along the banks of the “Monon.” Travel slows a bit
and becomes more congested as the old railroad joins a couple of additional old railroads.
The Baltimore and Ohio bought all the assets of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie in 1991 and
1992, and moved to those tracks to escape the congestion and street crossings in
McKeesport, Braddock, Glenwood and Pittsburgh. Now passing through remnants of huge
switching yards, we come to the last blast furnace in the Pittsburgh area at the Edgar
Thompson Plant of U S Steel in Braddock, PA. After leaving Demmlar Signals we snake through
what’s left of Braddock and settle at Braddock Signal where the Pittsburgh and
Western Subdivision joins the P&LE or Pittsburgh Subdivison under the Rankin Bridge.
The railroad runs as a single track from here to pass through the Jones & Laughlin
tunnel in South Pittsburgh. At the West end of the tunnel it splits back into double track.
We end this video at the CSX Pittsburgh Signal across from Point State Park at the
confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers. The area was once laced with tracks of
numerous parallel railroads. At Port Perry, near the eastern edge of Braddock, tracks of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, Baltimore and Ohio, Union Railroad (U S Steel) and Pennsylvania
& Lake Erie all came through. The PRR became Conrail now Norfolk & Southern. The
B&O and P&LE are now the CSX Railroad. Some of those railroad beds are now turning
into biking and jogging paths, while the survivors consolidate along historic rail
corridors that carried the raw materials and products for a once huge steel industry.
Remnants of that industry can be seen in this video. You will also see lots of unusual
power lash-ups as well as Amtrak’s Capitol Limited. See # 40031 and # 40032 above for
Parts 1 and 2. Own all three30.00
40035 "Metropolitan Sub - Weaverton to Washington, DC." This DVD covers the
original B&O Metropolitan Branch from west of Brunswick, MD into Washington, DC. There
are stations from the 1890s, four stone arch bridges from the original construction,
today's local freights, and passenger service by MARC and AMTRAK's Capitol Limited.
Traffic on the Met is a bit heavier in passenger operations, but there are some interesting
local freight to help with the flow of your "favorite" trains. There are daily
trash trains, including D765 running from Montgomery County out to the Pepco site near
Dickerson, Maryland. Augment that daily local with Brunswick local switcher, B211 bringing
more trash out to the co-generation operation at Pepco, and squeeze them in among the 18
daily MARC commuter trains, 2 Capitor Limiteds, and you'll find a lively schedule. 2
hours30.00
40041 "Next Stop: Silver Spring" tells the fascinating story of the B&O
Railroad station in Silver Spring, MD. It's a ticket back to the golden days of
passenger railroading and a tale of historic preservation against the odds. This DVD
includes an original soundtrack by Maryland artists and exciting bonus features not seen on
television25.00
40051 "Steam & Diesel on the B&O 1950s Action in Ohio." A B&O
DVD Video. By the min-1950’s, steam was disappearing fast from America’s
railroads. For a few years, the flatlands of northern Ohio offered the last vistas of hard
charging steam on the B&O. Running out of Willard, Ohio and Garrett, Indiana on the
busy Chicago-Pittsburg main line, B&O staged a spectacular show for steam enthusiasts
with fast freights powered by home-built T-3 and ex-B&M T-4 Class 4-8-2’s. Other
freights ran behind S-1 Class 2-10-2’s. Local freights were handled by Q-4 Class
2-8-2’s. Passenger trains were running with P-7 Class Pacifics and EMD E’s. Out
of Lorain, heavy coal trains moved behind the big EM-1 Class 2-8-8-4’s and S1 Class
2-10-2’s. Donald Krofta was actively filming on 16mm the action on the main line and
other sites. In this DVD, you’ll visit many locations between Garrett and Willard,
plus the roundhouses at Toledo and Willard. At the same time, Jim Hawk was along recording
on audio tape many of the same scenes. Many of his original recordings are used here to
bring to life this amazing collection of scenes of B&O action. This DVD video was
developed from 16mm film by Krofta-Herron Rail. This was a popular video when it was only
produced in VHS. Don Krofta is one of the best railroad cinematographers around with
dramatic angles and great detail shots. Along with Don's film is authentic sound, much
actually recorded when Don was shooting. One hour and 10 minutes, both color and B&W
video. Herron Rail39.95

diesel scenes of Erie-Lackawanna, Penn central, Conrail, and Amtrak. One hour and 10
minutes, both color and B&W. Herron Rail39.95
40053 "Articulateds in Appalachia." This film is a fascinating look at the
monsters that ruled the rails in Eastern America for almost a generation. It opens with
scenes from Sunday River's "Baltimore & Ohio Steam" and closes with
Archie Julian's "Battle for the Blue Ridge." It features the last and most
efficient articulateds built in America - the B&O 2-8-8-4. See the rigid frame 2-6-6-6
Allegheny of the C&O - the worlds most powerful steam locomotive, as well as many other
steam shots. A must have for Big Steam. By Sunday River Productions30.00
