First stop was CSX at Sand Patch, then on to Mance and it's Horseshoe Curve. Next along Wills Creek on the East Slope, Hyndman and Cumberland. At Cumberland we visit the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Next we move on to catch Conrail around the famous Horseshoe Curve, Altoona, Cassandra, Gallitzin Tunnels, Summerhill, Lilly and Johnstown where action was non-stop. On our way back home we stopped by Berea Ohio while Conrail was still the only rail line through town. After that we stopped by Bellevue Ohio to check out the NS hump facility in action, and finally on to Marion Ohio where Conrail, CSX and NS all cross at the Marion Union Station. This 2 Hour and 40 minute program is packed full of Classic Railroad Action from 1996 with Road Names and Trains no longer seen today - Coal trains, No graffiti, Fantastic curves and locations, and gorgeous videography by Terry Lewis!
