CSX’s LCL Subdivision between Cincinnati and Louisville, better known as the Short Line, is a busy mountain railroad smack dab in the middle of the Midwest. This spectacular, former Louisville and Nashville line parallels but does not follow the meandering south bank of the Ohio River in northern Kentucky accounting for the many hills or hogbacks that trains must traverse as they cross streams that flow northward into the Ohio River. Southbounds and northbounds each face a half a dozen climbs over one percent. When constructed in the late 1860s this was considered to be a superbly engineered line that included six tunnels and two high trestles although little straight track. Today the Short Line is a key link between North and South for CSX with upwards of twenty trains a day using this congested, single track, CTC equipped line. This program shows thirty hours of action on the railfan friendly Short Line, CSX’s LCL Subdivision between Cincinnati and Louisville, in May of 2013, including a train traversing the street running in La Grange. “The Short Line – CSX’s LCL Subdivision” is 67 minutes in length. Both the Blu-ray and DVD versions sell for $30.95 plus $5.00 for shipping and handling. This DVD can be watched with or without narration.

Norfolk Southern’s Kenova District between Williamson, West Virginia and Portsmouth, Ohio has long been known as the Tadpole. The district’s name comes from Kenova, West Virginia, where this former Norfolk and Western track crosses the Ohio River on a massive double tracked, 4000-foot long, 100-foot high trestle. Described by Trains Magazine as a “conveyor belt for westbound coal’ in the 1960s, today, this busy line handles a mix of loaded coal trains running in both directions, grain trains, mixed carload manifests, and thanks to the recently completed Heartland Corridor clearance project, double stack container trains. Except for the crossing of the Ohio River at Kenova, the track from Williamson to Portsmouth is level or downgrade all the way and passes through six tunnels. The superbly engineered Kenova District along the Tug Fork, Big Sandy, and Ohio Rivers sees some of the heaviest trains in the U. S. This program shows thirty hours of action between Williamson and Kenova on Norfolk Southern’s Kenova District or Tadpole in April of 2011. “The Tadpole – NS Kenova District” is 80 minutes in length. This DVD can be watched with or without narration.

Canada's railroads recently began spinning off branch and secondary main lines just as railroads in the States had done a decade earlier. This video shows the trains and operations on the new regional railroads and main lines in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the fall of 1998, including the Windsor and Hantsport, Cape Breton & Central Nova Scotia, New Brunswick East Coast, and New Brunswick Southern. Then Canadian National action is shown around Halifax and Moncton, concluding with 24 hours of action on the CN in the scenic high bridge country in northwestern New Brunswick. 122 minutes.

“The Trains of Atlantic Canada 2010” shows the trains and operations on almost all the railroads still operating in Atlantic Canada during the summer of 2010 including the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia and Windsor and Hantsport. Much has changed since our last visit to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia twelve years ago. Improbably, Canadian National has bought back some of the rail lines that they had spun off only a decade earlier. Today’s trains on CN’s main line from Montreal to Moncton through Edmundston, New Brunswick, although fewer than a dozen years ago, are twice as long, running up to twelve thousand feet in length and making for some impressive scenes running through the deep woods and across the great bridges of CN’s superbly engineered, former National Transcontinental Railway line though northern and central New Brunswick. “The Trains of Atlantic Canada 2010” is 95 minutes in length. The DVD of this program can be watched with or without narration.

Beaumont Hill, with long, nearly 2.0% grades on both sides, is part of the historic Southern Pacific, now Union Pacific Sunset Route. Today, UP, SP, and CNW power is mixed on The Hill, and the UP uses manned helpers on many of the heavy stack and manifest trains over Beaumont. Recently several new hot "Z" trains were added to the Sunset Route, and additional trains moved off of the Central Corridor to the Sunset and Golden State Routes over Beaumont Hill. This video shows all of the trains for a day and a half between Redlands and West Palm Springs in late April of 1999 when Beaumont Hill was seeing the most freight trains in its long and storied history. Two DVD/one tape set.
