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.

Mention the words “Joint Line” and most railfans think of the BNSF – Union Pacific line between Denver and Pueblo. The 120 miles of single and double track between Denver and Pueblo on the edge of the Front Range have the spectacular Rockies as a backdrop and include 18,000-ton coal trains and heavy manifest trains ascending and dropping down grades as steep as one and a half percent. Many trains have distributed power or DPU with radio controlled helpers at one or more points in the train and some even have both DPU and manned helpers on the steep southbound climb out of Denver to Palmer Lake. This program shows nearly 30 hours of ear-splitting action between Larkspur, nine miles north of the summit and beginning of single track at Palmer Lake, and Crews, south of Colorado Springs, where double track begins again, and includes action through the Springs. “The Trains of Colorado’s Joint Line” is two hours and twenty nine minutes long.

Some of the most awe-inspiring scenery on this continent is in Canada’s Banff and Yoho National Parks astride the Great Divide in the Rocky Mountains west of Calgary, Alberta. And Canadian Pacific’s transcontinental main line across Canada happens to run right through the middle of these parks alongside the Bow and Kicking Horse Rivers. The west slope of Kicking Horse Pass is the location of the famous spiral tunnels and the east slope follows the beautiful Bow River and its tributaries. This program shows over twenty-four hours of action between Morant’s Curve along the Bow River east of Lake Louise and Field, British Columbia at the base of Field Hill in September of 2010. And, through the use of distributed power units placed at multiple places in the train, Canadian Pacific is running some of the longest trains on this continent over Kicking Horse Pass. “The Trains of Kicking Horse Pass 2010” is one hour and forty-four minutes in length. This DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.

The former Great Northern, now BNSF, line over Marias Pass is the northernmost and lowest crossing of the Rocky Mountains in the continental United States. Much of this spectacular line along the middle fork of the Flathead River and Bear Creek is alongside the southern boundary of Glacier National Park. And BNSF’s line over Marias Pass hums with activity as this is their main line between Chicago and Seattle and Portland. Amtrak’s Empire Builder makes an appearance also. Marias Pass has pushers, both manned and radio controlled, steep grades, snow sheds, high bridges, and tunnels, all nestled in the awe-inspiring scenery of the Rocky Mountains adjacent to Glacier National Park. This program shows over twenty-four hours of action between Conkelley, where the two main tracks out of Whitefish become single track, and Browning, twenty-six miles east of the summit of Marias Pass where the plains abruptly meet the mountains, in September of 2010. “The Trains of Marias Pass 2010” is 2 hours and 6 minutes in length. This DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.
