The age of steam may be long gone, but in St. Louis there is a link to that bygone era. Frisco 1522 until recently was a fully operational steam locomotive that ran on occasion.
In this program, you’ll see 1522, (which is a 1926-built 4-8-2 “Mountain-Type” engine) leading the “Employee Appreciation Special” for the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway, and then pulling a trip at the National Railway Historical Society convention in St. Louis.
While on the Employee Appreciation Special 1522 puts on a great show as she pulls the train from Tulsa to Oklahoma City, then on to Ft. Worth. This is no amusement park train just chuffing along, 1522 really gets up and goes!
Features:
Running on her old Frisco rails in Missouri
Pulling the Employee Appreciation Special in Oklahoma and Texas
Pulling the NRHS convention special from St. Louis to West Quincy and return.
Plenty of scenes where the locomotive is really working.
DVD includes chapter menu, crystal clear video and sound.
If you like steam locomotives, then you’ll want to see one of steam railroadings shining stars as she helps people young and old relive the mighty days of steam!Approx. 60 minutes. From Railway Productions
