The former Pennsylvania Railroad and Conrail, now Norfolk Southern Columbia and Port Deposit Branch, a.k.a. The Port Road, between Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Perryville, Maryland on the Northeast Corridor is an engineering marvel as it follows the beautiful yet remote Susquehanna River to its mouth on Chesapeake Bay. Now owned by Norfolk Southern, this line serves as NS’s route to Baltimore, Wilmington, Delaware, and Delaware’s Eastern Shore from the rest of the far flung NS system. In the past two years crude oil trains from North Dakota bound for the PBF Energy Partners refinery in Delaware City, Delaware near Wilmington, have begun invading this line in earnest, raising the train count on the Port Road to levels not seen since the closing of Potomac Yard south of Washington, D. C. For two decades this line was almost entirely a nighttime railroad as Amtrak rarely allowed daytime trains on their congested Northeast Corridor which Conrail and NS trains had to utilize to get to Wilmington, Delaware or Baltimore. Recently Amtrak began allowing two or three trains a day onto the NEC, usually coal or the ever expanding crude oil trains, opening up the Port Road to daytime photography. This program shows a day and a half of continuous operations plus a third day of action on Norfolk Southern’s Port Road Branch between the outskirts of Columbia, Pennsylvania and Perryville in May of 2014. "Norfolk Southern's Port Road" is one hour and 23 minutes in length. This DVD can be watched with or without narration.

The northern plains, where the wind seems to never stop blowing and the winters can be brutal, are also the home to several fascinating regional railroads. Thanks to the importance of agriculture there, this is one part of the country where the presence of railroads is perhaps more appreciated and indeed more necessary than the rest of the country. For the northern plains are a long way from the coastal ports and navigable rivers that bounties of the land usually need to get to customers in Europe and Asia. Just like the rest of the country, the large railroads operating on the northern plains began to sell off or abandon their maze of branch lines in the 1980s and early 1990s. This left the northern plains with a number of spin-offs from the larger roads that seemed to have neither the traffic nor the resources to rebuild their worn-out track and survive the harsh climate and the vicissitudes of the weather on crops. Yet some of these smaller railroads have not only survived but seem to be thriving as they are in far better condition than that which they were left with by their class I parents. This program shows the trains and operations on four northern plains Regionals – the Northern Plains Railroad, the Dakota, Missouri Valley, and Western, the Red River Valley and Western, and the Twin Cities and Western in November of 2008. These four railroads between them operate over 1700 miles of track in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Montana. Length = 76 minutes. Price = $30.95 plus $5.00 for shipping and handling. This DVD has the option of being watched with or without narration.
