Chicago Rails 4-DVD Set

There is no better place than Chicago to see a myriad of railroad colors, train types and congested rail operations! This 4-DVD collection takes you back to Chicago in the 1950s for a full color look at 15 exciting railroads, including Santa Fe, Burlington, Milwaukee Road, Rock Island, North Shore and Illinois Central, when you'll catch a glimpse at exotic first generation diesels, sparkling consists of streamlined passenger trains, perfectly groomed main lines, the last vestiges of steam, and grimy yard operations. Then, you'll ride into the 1960s and 70s, the "last gasp" for many Class I passenger operations such as Gulf, Mobile & Ohio; Great Northern; and Northern Pacific. You'll see Rock Island, Soo Line, Indiana Harbor Belt, and others hustle freight trains in and out of the city and changes in motive power and equipment on commuter lines. Color, 4 hrs. 30 min
