Union Pacific Vintage West - Video

Enjoy almost 100 minutes of vintage color film that has now been formatted to video. The vintage segments were filmed by a number of people, each with a different view of the railroad. The coverage spans from 1942 to 1985, and covers the phase-out of steam, and Union Pacific's conversion to diesel power. This video also covers E.H. Harriman's 1900s efforts to turn the railroad into a super power. Included are the resolutions of old rivalries, and rail mergers from the 1960s and 1970s. 1 hr. 38 min. color.
