Hancock, West Virginia to Cumberland, Maryland This is the first in an exciting series of productions by Iron Horse America covering the former Baltimore & Ohio Railroad mainlines crossing the Allegheny Mountains of the eastern United States. This two-tape set, which was shot in cooperation with CSX, takes you on an extensive tour of the CSX mainline that follows the Potomac River between Hancock, West Virginia and Cumberland, Maryland. This busy ex-B&O double-track mainline twists its way through the spectacular valleys and hills of the Alleghenies. The highlight of our tour is the astonishing Magnolia Cutoff - an incredible piece of railroad engineering. Four double-track tunnels, two huge bridges, several massive cuts and hills, and a pair of gigantic retaining walls enabled the B&O to gain passage through the Green Ridge of the Alleghenies between Orleans Crossing and Okonoko, West Virginia. This fantastic region, with its beautiful scenery and heavy train traffic, has long been a favorite railfan site. The entire 55-mile route is covered in fascinating detail and through all four seasons. You'll enjoy the sights and sounds of hundreds of trains working through sun, rain, and snow in this exciting presentation. 180 Minutes In Color with Live Audio and Narration Packaged in Colorful Cardboard Slipcase Produced by Iron Horse America 1994 2-tape set counts as one item when calculating shipping & handling charges. |
