Fallen Flags Series Combo Classic Twin Cities Railroading and Classic Chicag...

Here, on one Combo DVD, are two shows presenting favorite fallen flags. These programs were filmed during the 1960s and 1970s at two of the country's railroading hot spots: Chicago and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Classic Twin Cities Railroading Pentrex takes you back to the golden days of Minneapolis/St. Paul railroading. Footage was shot during Spring of 1970, just after the merger of Burlington, Great Northern, and Northern Pacific which formed the Burlington Northern. You will see a lot of fallen flags and a wide variety of locomotive types: Alco, GE, Baldwin, EMD, a Fairbanks-Morse, a rare Baldwin DT-6-2000 center cab switcher, and an unusual home-built electric switcher. A final highlight is a ride in a dome car on the Morning and Afternoon Zephyrs to experience the sights between the Twin Cities.(52 Minutes) Classic Chicago Railroading This incredible compilation is from color film from the 1960s and '70s.
