Trackside Video Presents; 4501: A Farewell Odyssey (1998 VHS)

Описание: On October 1, 1998 locomotive 4501 was placed into indefinite semi-retirement.
Ride into history with Southern Railway's 4501 as she makes her final steam powered excursions this century. Go "Trackside" with us as we follow the 4501 along with engine 610 as their seven car passenger consist between Grand Junction and LaFayette, Georgia. Next we join the 4501 in her final hours under steam as she powers five round-trips between East Chattanooga and Grand Junction. We re-visit the Great Freight of '96 with lots of new footage as we bring our program to a close. Enjoy this memorable 44-minute odyssey.

This program was produced by Trackside Video, a small video company which operated from 1987 - 2008 out of Forest Park, Georgia making train related videos. Most of the Trackside Video programs are lost media and are extremely hard to find, with only a small handful of programs (including this one) having resurfaced online in full.

A massive thank you goes out to @BenBensonStudios who found the original eBay listing for this tape and asked me to preserve its contents and have them deinterlaced to 60fps!
