Union Pacific Odyssey 2-DVD Set

Renowned railfan and cinematographer Emery Gulash headed west numerous times between 1952 and 1980 to capture the mighty UP in all its glory. This 2-DVD set is a compilation of the finest footage from Emery's visits. In Volume 1, you'll follow the UP as it transitions from big steam to big diesels in the 1950s and early '60s. Challengers, Big Boys, turbines and a potpourri of exciting first generation diesels roll in front of the camera at locations such as Denver, North Platte, Sherman Hill, Ogden, Chicago, St. Louis, Council Bluffs, and others. And, in Volume 2, Your Union Pacific tour continues in the 1960s and early '70s, an era when big power still reigned supreme on the UP. Highlights include more "big blow" turbines, Centennials, DD35s, early high-horsepower second generation diesels, the 100-year anniversary celebration of The Golden Spike, and more. Color, Dolby Digital, 4 hours.
