In the mid-50s, railfans from all over the world visited the New York & Long Branch Railroad to observe the last stand of the legendary Pennsylvania Railroad Class K4 Pacific-type steam locomotives. Thirty years later, they returned for the swan song of NJ Transit's classic E8 diesels and ex-Pennsy GG1 electrics. This program presents the fascinating story of the Long Branch. Following a brief history of the railroad, you'll tour the line and view K4s in action at many interesting locations. The famous engine change from steam to GG-1 electrics at South Amboy is fully illustrated. You'll also visit the nearby steam-powered Raritan River Railroad and observe the colorful first-generation PRR and CNJ diesels which replaced steam. The program concludes with a brief look at the Long Branch as the North Jersey Coast Line of NJ Transit. From K4s to F40s, this is the definitive history of the Long Branch! 60 Minutes - Full Color Archive Film and Video - Fully Synchronized Soundtrack - Maps and Location Graphics - Narrated THE NEW YORK AND LONG BRANCH RAILROAD DVD LBDVD$29.95 Anchor Videos 3 Cedar Drive Montague, NJ 07827 Info: (973) 293-7788 Order: (800) 511-4140
