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
