All images on these pages are taken directly from Highball's tapes.
BUFFALO & PITTSBURGH
The B&P runs between its namesake cities using orange SD45s for power. Hauling coal and manifest traffic through the scenic hills and valleys of Pensylvania and New York, these ex SP monsters put on a great show. Taped in July, 1998, mostly between Salamanca and Punxsutawney, with a side trip to the Allegheny RR between Warren and Erie, with a 3 unit GP38/40 lashup.
75 minutes BUFF $29.95
SAINT LAWRENCE AND ATLANTIC
One of the bright spots of New EngIand railroading, the St. L & A runs from Danville Junction ME to Island Pond VT. We chased up and down during the winter of 1991-2 braving snow, ice and some bitter cold to bring you some splendid footage. In addition to ex CV GP9's, GATX MP15's and GP4O's we see CN GP4OL's in the splendid winter scenery of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
80 MINUTES STLA $29.95
EAST BROAD TOP FALL SPECTACULAR 1996
What an absolutely fabulous place the EBT is. One of the things I enjoyed most was being able to wander around the shop complex and just soak up the atmosphere and imagine how it must have been in its heyday. Largely unspoiled and unchanged in decades, with four narrow gauge Mikes in steam over the Fall Spectacular weekend, it was a real treat to see and experience. The EBT runs passenger and freight trains for two glorious days.
90 MINUTES EBTS $29.95
STEAM NORTHEAST
Never to be repeated scenes from Edaville during railfan weekend 1991 and Christmas, 1991. Lots of smoky atmosphere, the little Baldwin 2-4-4T's are a delight to see and hear. Next is a 70 ton Climax on the White Mountain Central in the summer of 1991, then we see the Valley RR's Chinese 1647 in excursion service then double headed on railfan day.
60 MINUTES STNE $19.95
THE GREEN MOUNTAIN
The Green Mountain runs through scenic Vermont farm country on former Rutland tracks, using the last Rutland locomotive, an Alco RS 1 on passenger trains in the summer. We see the passenger trains and freight trains of the GMRR from trackside and in the cab. Green GP9's, a black ex NS GP9 and a red Vermont RR geep in summer, fall and winter.
80 MINUTES GMRR $29.95
THE NEW ENGLAND CENTRAL
New England's newest. We chased the southbound job south out of Palmer the weekend after startup, in February 1995, then again a couple of weeks later in some fairly brisk weather. We chased the northbound job out of Brattleboro in December and January, the latter being somewhat frigid at 20 below, but it made for some excellent photographic conditions. NEC's blue and orange units look great in the snow, and there are some earlier scenes of CV to show how it was.
75 MINUTES TNEC $29.95
IN SEARCH OF THE F'S
EMD F units - THE classic American locomotive. We searched out some of the last remaining F's in 1992. We start the program with BAR's beautiful F3 in excursion service, MBTA F10's in their last year of service then in Cape Cod's pretty orange and green, MARC F's and an E and CSX F's in Baltimore. Long Island has ex F unit "power packs," PATRAIN on the last day of service then as Shore Line in New Haven paint. Both Amtrak and Metro North unique double powered FL9's along the Hudson, GO's control cars, VIA and Montreal commuter F's all make an appearance.

BRIDGE LINE DIVISION - CP RAIL'S D&H
Over a year in the making, we cover the old Susquehanna Division between Mohawk Yard & Binghamton, you'll see most of the famous locations, including Richmondville Hill, Delanson, Ninevah, Harpursville and Belden Hill. RS18's, C424's, an RS36 and M630's all make an appearance, together with all the other odds and ends to be found on 1993/4's D&H, including 'Gators, Ghosts and Guilford. You'll be trackside in rain, fog, snow and sunshine for some great D&H action - you'll love engineer Mike Green putting on an incredible show with two Alco's, two SD's and a LOT of smoke, these shots are worth the price alone.

A fond farewell to Big Blue. All new footage of an old favorite as it goes into merger.

WINTER ON THE B&A
Another of my favorites. We spent many days plodding up and down the Mass Pike in some nasty weather. We caught the Lake Shore head headlight to headlight with a freight at Charlton, with a stalled snow blower on the passing track. We were on Washington Hill in a two foot blizzard, I'm still surprised we got out but it made for some great shots. Great WInter Action.

The famous Tifft Street Bridge in Buffalo NY, now sadly rebuilt with wire screens. We saw 40+ trains throughout the afternoon sometimes these were so many trains we didn't know which way to run.
