Video Title: Steam Legends Date Added: 5/19/2010 12:56:18 PM
A short movie about the lost Norfolk and Western Steam Engines, 1118, 1134, 1151, and 917. Some of the vintage photos aren't of the exact engines shown. I just wanted to show how they might have looked like if back when they were running.
Here is a link to the website, The Lost Engines of Roanoke, http://lostengines.railfan.net/scrapy... These engines are located at the Virginia Scrap Iron & Metal yard, in Roanoke Virginia. Thank You, these are really beautiful engines, such a loss!

Video Title: N. Y. O. and W. steam engines Date Added: 5/19/2010 12:54:32 PM
The coolest of the 1930's 16mm home movies my brother bought at a yard sale. The guy driving the engines must have been a big wheel to have been able to play with the center cab engine and the 458 on the turn table. He even had his own coal shovel! Engines 213, 459, 458, 409, 211, 215, 304, 401, 278, 251, and 354. Others I can't read numbers on.

Video Title: Midwest Classic Steam Date Added: 5/3/2010 6:55:58 PM
Experience the thrills of Midwest steam action! C. Vision Productions follows the Milwaukee Road #261 as it pulls three different trains. You will see the 261 as it pulls a portion of the 1998 BNSF Employee Special. This 4-8-4 Northern is also in charge of an Amtrak Special, and a complete Milwaukee Road consist train for the Milwaukee Road Historical Association.
Soo Line #2719 leads a photographers' special on the Wisconsin Great Northern in Spooner, Wisconsin. The train rolls through the western woods in October 2000, when the leaves were vibrant with color!
Sister Soo Line locomotive, #1003 returns to ex-Soo Line tracks on the former Wisconsin Central. We capture the train from Eau Claire to Stevens Point as it heads to Burlington, Wisconsin.
Finally, we see the only operating compound saddle-tank mallet in the United States. The Black Hills Central Railroad in Hill City, South Dakota recently restored this Baldwin to operate the 1880 train. Watch this articulated locomotive negotiate the curves and grades of the beautiful Black Hills!
