N&W: Giant of Steam (Revised Edition) |
| The most definitive story of N&W steam ever written has been updated, revised, and re-printed!At the time of its original publication in 1980, this book, authored by Colonel Lewis Ingles Jeffries, gave us the story of N&W steam as complete as possible and as no other ever had... but as great it was, there were gaps in the information, due simply to the facts not being available at that time. That situation has now been corrected in this new, 350 page revised hardcover edition!

DVD- Pillars of Smoke in the Sky |
This DVD is about N&W steam operation over the famous Blue Ridge Grade in 1957. Filmed with the cooperation of N&W management, producer E. C. Eddy was given full access to the line, yards and was allowed to ride aboard the Y class helper and pusher engines as they moved heavy coal trains from Roanoke to the top of the grade. No other film of N&W has the on-train perspectives that Mr. Eddy captured on 16mm film. You'll be amazed at his coverage. We have left the film intact with the original narration by Mr. Eddy and his own sounds which were recorded on his visit in 1957.

It features - in spectacular sync sound - the last and most efficient main line articulates built in America, the B&O 2-8-8-4 "Yellowstone" locomotives. See the C&O 2-6-6-6 Allegheny as well as the President Class 4-6-2s on the B&O limiteds. C&O streamlined Hudsons haul "The Sportsman" and "The George Washington".

DVD- Norfolk and Western |
Steam in the East Series
It's hard to believe that such a film could exist - capturing the largest fleet of articulated ever built, operating on their original tracks, in this case, the western slope of the N&W main line between Bluefield and Portsmouth Ohio. See the agile Class A with high speed manifest or rolling long strings of heavyweight cars at 70MPH. See Class Y's while they shake the Appalachians to their very roots on the heavy grades and the tortuous curves of the Tug Fork. From start to finish every single frame is stunning action. More than 100 fun pasts from the bygone age of real railroading!

DVD- Norfolk Southern's Peavine |
| In Volume one of Norfolk Southerns Peavine we take you on an east to west journey showing scenes from Cincinnati to Portsmouth, roughly 100 miles. Living along this route we would go out and shoot the best sections mostly between Batavia and Peebles where there were two grades at each of those two towns. In addition there were grades westbound from Lawshe to Mt. Zion, and a short one from Williamsburg. We will see a lot of neat locomtove types and especially a lot of high nose Geeps, plus some of the new Dash 9 wide cabs being delivered in primer gray. We have selected a lot of neat locations and great action makes this a contemporary video you will really enjoy. During this time there was a daily local freight that even ran on a Branch Line from Sardinia to Mowrystown which we covered and several daily freights and extras are seen. Today this line is severed and no through trains operate so its a historic show. Only an "as needed" local serves just two remaining customers, as sad sight indeed. But the line was thriving indeed, in the days prior to Conrail being split-up with NS getting part of that railroad, and changing the Peavine in the process. Shot on our Betacam SP with digital editing, and chapter menus on the DVD.

DVD- Norfolk Southern's Peavine 2 |
| Norfolk Southern's Peavine Volume 2 is an interesting follow-up, which essentially turns out to be the last major years this line was operating through trains between Cincinnati and Portsmouth. In this video we show you new material shot after the first one was made, including the 2003 last run of L51 from Portsmouth. In addition we included a segment with additional shots we did not use in Volume one, some are the same locations, but different days and trains. There is also a neat snow segment with some good heavy action, and a coal train doubling a grade. Shot on our Betacam SP with digital editing, and chapter menus on the DVD.This is not narrated, but has scene descriptions(graphics) on the video to keep you informed as to date and other information.

Here, the CSX ex-Baltimore and Ohio main line from Washington, DC passes under the Norfolk Southern ex-Norfolk and Western Roanoke to Hagerstown line. These are two very busy lines.
