DVD - Steam Specials in the Heartland

Our DVD includes three exciting chapters featuring four steam locomotives operating on special excursions: Union Pacific 3985 - in September and October, 2010, UP brought out the largest operating steam locomotive in the world, Challenger 3985, to pull a special train called The Missouri River Eagle. This one-time experience starts in North Platte, Nebraska, the home of UP's giant Bailey Yard. We accompany the special as it roars its way across the Heartland as far east as St. Louis, Missouri, with major stops in Marysville, KS, Kansas City, MO, Jefferson City, MO, and Sedalia, MO before returning to North Platte. Incredible trackside action as the mighty 4-6-6-4 roars across three states. Close-up views as the locomotive moves slowly past our cameras, being serviced, and the great sights along the way. This was the last trip made by 3985! Milwaukee Road 261 To Duluth - after its first restoration to operating condition, we enjoyed accompanying 261 during its 15-year string of excursions starting in 1993. Most of those years it pulled a two-day Spring Special from the Twin Cities to Duluth, MN. We present highlights from a number of those trips and arrange them to illustrate what a weekend ride with the 4-8-4 Northern was like. Scenes from a rare trip on the North Shore Scenic line are included. Enjoy the changes in passenger equipment from year to year. Chinese QJ Doubleheader - Railroad Development Corporation, parent company of Iowa Interstate Railroad (IAIS), owned two QJ 2-10-2 locomotives. This class was the final Chinese steam design to go into production, with over 4700 built through 1988. In October 2008, IAIS ran steam specials in eastern Iowa to raise money to aid Iowa communities hit by severe flooding earlier that year. We follow the double-headed 66-car freight train from Iowa City to the Quad Cities. At Rock Island, the locomotives were separated, one to pull passenger trips east to Silvis, Illinois, and the other for trips west to Walcott, Iowa. The next day another double header brought the passenger equipment west to Iowa City.
