Steam In The Snow – Conway Scenic Railroad (HD)

( www.lerroproductions.com ) A photo charter was hosted by Lerro Productions at the Conway scenic railroad during the first days of 2009. I was fortunate enough to be able to make the trip up to New Hampshire and film this rarity; a steam-powered freight train in the snow! Much thanks goes out to Pete Lerro and his crew for making this a memorable and worthwhile event. The cold temperatures were brutal, dropping to around zero during the Night Photo Session with 40 mile an hour gusts. Despite the frigid conditions, a fruitfull weekend was had for all of the photographers/videographers on hand. Hope you enjoy the video.

A Great Railroad at Work – 1942 American Railroads & Trains Documentary

Climb aboard the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad in the early 1940′s and ride behind electric & steam locomotives and first generation diesels.

There are scenes from inside the workshops, in the freight yards, views of the “Yankee Clipper” and inside the luxury passenger carriages. The railroad infrastructure is seen, including the large stations. You’ll even see trains being transferred via barges along the rivers!

Railroad Wedge Snow Plow and 1889 Steam Locomotive

I thought you’d like a look at this massive wedge snow plow. It was made from a locomotive’s whale back tender, by removing the fuel tank and mounting the plow to the water tank. They filled the water tank with rocks to add weight. Right now, they have it coupled to a vintage Steam Locomotive that was built in 1889. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it!
