Description

This video chronicles the history, operations and route of the Colorado Midland with hundreds of rare historic photos. Coverage of the Midland Terminal includes about two minutes of black and white motion pictures from 1929 and about 11 minutes of color motion pictures from 1949. Locomotive sounds and train crew interviews come from a rare 1949 wire recording made on the cleanup train just before the Midland Terminal was scrapped.

The Colorado Midland carried commerce between Colorado Springs and Grand Junction, serving the silver camps of Aspen and Leadville. The Cripple Creek gold camp was served by the connecting Midland Terminal Railway. Passengers were carried to the resorts at Glenwood Springs, Cascade, Green Mountain Falls and Woodland Park. Trains crossed the Continental Divide through a tunnel at 11,500 feet above sea level, a tunnel reached by a spectacular series of loops of track. The winter of 1899 closed the railroad for 78 days.

As a result of government action, the Colorado Midland ceased operations in 1918, just after a new owner had invested millions. By 1921, that owner had given up and abandoned the railroad. This railroad abandonment, the largest to its time, would mark the beginning of the decline of American railroads. The Midland Terminal bought the track that connected its own Cripple Creek line to Colorado Springs and operated trains between Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs until February of 1949.

Product Description

The Northeast Corridor was a modern commuter raceway when Pentrex set out to capture this busy line in 1992.

Now both shows have been combined on one Combo DVD, bringing you the whole Northeast Corridor story. Included are:New York City to PhiladelphiaFocusing on this electrified heavily-trafficked portion of the line, our program brings you a fascinating mix of old and new technologies. Trains roar down the electrified mainline at speeds of up to 125 mph, governed by Automatic Block Signals and dispatched from Philadelphia. Yet manned block towers dating back to the turn of the century can still be found in use on the line. Experience over 150 Amtrak and commuter trains in action as you visit Penn Station, Hudson Tower, Newark, Trenton, Princeton Junction, and Zoo Interlocking and the venerable "A" and Zoo towers on your trek from New York City to Philadelphia.
