From the archives of the Western Railway Museum comes this all new series of archival railroad videos. Noted railroad cinematographer Don Kehl photographed railroad all over the United States starting in 1955. Dynamo Productions and Hunter Lohse have teamed up to present to you this look back in time to the Golden Age of Railroading. We begin this series with a look at the last great frontier of steam in the United States for a mainline railroad, the Norfolk & Western.
In late 1956 and early 1957, Don Kehl made two trips over to the N&W to document their operations on 8mm film. Part 1 of this look at N&W steam tales us to Hagerstown where we follow a mixed train to Shenandoah, VA behind a K class 4-8-2. Also witness Y class 2-8-8-2s on freight assignments as well as the streamlines K class Mountains on passenger trains. We also pay a visit to N&W bridge line the Winston-Salem Southbound where we see hand-me-down 2-8-0s as well as 2-8-2 Mikados handling the freight assignments between Winston-Salem, and Wadesboro, NC.
Enjoy this fascinating look back in time to the N&W: The Alamo of Steam!
