CF5 - EASTERN COLLECTION. Charlie and his friends made a bunch of trips east into Canada and the U.S. east coast
in the mid-50's. Their first trips took them into southern Ontario where they caught CP and CN steam in mainline and branch
service, along with chasing the oldest steam, a 4-6-0, on the rapidly dieselizing NYC. In the following years they managed
to catch steam on the NKP, NYC and B&O in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, along with PRR steam in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and other east coast locations. Each time they went east, they also managed to get into Canada for more CN and CP
steam and eventually were able to snag one of the elusive CP 4-4-0's. Also included are shots of ATSF steam in Ohio, PRR
steam on horseshoe curve,and a CNJ camelback locomotive on a last fantrip. Single disc $25.00
CF7 - MEXICAN COLLECTION With mainline steam gone in the U.S. attention turned in the early 60's to the remaining
steam in Mexico. Charlie and his friends made three trips and each time a lot of steam was shot. Their original plan was
to shoot steam locomotives purchased from U.S. railroads, FEC, N&S, C&NW, NKP and others, long gone from the States,
yet still operating in Mexico. Most of this was centered around Mexico City, operating on the Mexican Railway's mainline north
out of the city. They managed to get a lot of what they wanted along with plenty of Mexican steam including 4-8-4's, 4-6-4's,
2-6-6-2's, and others. On the first trip they also got to shoot and ride on the steam powered Mexican narrow gauge. On following
trips they managed cover more of the Mexican Railway system including the electrified line, and Yucatan, where they chased
a 4-4-0 powered mixed. Although new diesels were being delivered, Charlie managed to capture a wide range of different steam
locomotives in mainline passenger, freight and local service, before it was gone. Single disc $25.00
The Bruce Meyer Collection
BM1 - MOVIES BY BRUCE MEYER Divided into two parts, one all steam and the other a combination of diesel and electric,
this collection covers the transition era in which diesel replaced steam. Bruce, as a service rep and an engineer for EMD,
was involved with these changes as he placed new diesels in service and later was responsible for the development of todays
diesel locomotive. Primarily a b&w photographer, he occasionally tried other forms of photography, including movies.
This dvd begins with steam, the Yellowstones, in regular operation, on the DM&IR, followed by a look at the last steam
on the K&T, M&A, and D&RGW narrow gauge. Later he shot SOU 4501 and N&W 611 both in fantrip service. The
diesel part begins with local, for Bruce, railroads, IC and GM&O, followed by shots of the D&RGW, WP and AT&SF
all taken while on the road for EMD. The last part includes a look at the Milwaukee Road Electric operations, and C&NW,
BN and Amtrak diesels in the Chicago area. Single disc $25.00
