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 tracks 30.00

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 Limited 30.00

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 racks 30.00

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 tracks 30.00

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 three 30.00
