Description:
During the first half of the 20th century, American railroads underwent a major change with the development of massive steam locomotives. To handle increasingly long and heavy trains, locomotive manufacturers created impressive articulated engines. These powerful machines, generating up to 7,500 horsepower, could pull mile-long trains weighing 15,000 tons. This program explores the golden age of steam, showcasing legendary locomotives like the Union Pacific's "Big Boy." It follows trains on the Chesapeake & Ohio and Norfolk & Western railways and introduces the men who operated engines such as the Allegheny and Yellowstone. The program visits museums and yards where these enormous steamers are preserved. Presented by 'THE HISTORY CHANNEL', this retrospective is a thrilling look at a beloved era of railroading.
