Canada's Corridor in Eastern Canada VHS

This powerful program shows all the action on the busiest rail line in eastern Canada - the Canadian National and Via Rail Corridor between Montreal and Toronto. This line, known in Canada simply as the Corridor and owned by CN, is at least two tracks with CTC throughout and currently hosts twenty Via passenger trains on weekdays along with at least twenty CN freight trains. And these are not just any freight trains. CN is the most efficient railroad in North America and runs some of the longest and heaviest mixed carload and intermodal trains on the planet on this high-speed and superbly engineered 334-mile line between Montreal and Toronto. We caught over twenty-four hours of action in September 2007 on the Corridor around Gananoque in southeast Ontario where the limit for passenger trains with LRC cars is a cool 100 miles an hour.  Length = 78 minutes.  This program in DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.

Our mission is to document the incredible changes going on in today's railroading. Our programs are aimed at customers interested in operations and fans and modelers that want to know what is truly going on in railroading and to see the whole train. We are the only train video producer who makes every effort to identify and show complete trains. Expert commentary tells about the changes in operations over the years, schedules, and what a particular train is carrying and where it is going. Most of our DVDs and videos show 24 hours of action on a particular line or at a given point. These programs give a 24 hour "look" at today's railroading that is unprecedented in the train video industry and will become more valuable as time goes on.  Our programs are documentaries that cover contemporary railroading from 1992 to the present and were shot in locations all over the United States and Canada. These DVDs and videos are not simply a collection of runbys of locomotives and a few head end cars taken at different places. That is why original slogan was "No More Mindless Runbys."
