| STEAM ON THE DOUBLE AND CHEYENNE STEAM TRAIN |
|
Two exciting programs featuring the Denver Post Cheyenne Frontier Days Trains have been re-edited and combined into this new DVD. The best kept secret of 1996 was the surprise double-header with 844 and Challenger 3985 on July 20, 1996. No. 844, fresh out of the shop after a 5 year rebuild, put on a fine performance running between Cheyenne and Denver. See charging line side action and high speed pacing as the 844+3985 double-headers strut their stuff! Also includes the 3985 double-heading with Centennial 6936, and scenes of the first E9 diesel powered excursion in 1994. In 1997 Valhalla paired with The Denver Post to produce the Official Video of the Cheyenne Frontier Days train. This time we were on the train, and in the cab of 844 while another Valhalla camera crew chased the train for line side action shots as well. The program concludes a visit to Big Boy No. 4004 on display in Holladay Park in Cheyenne. All current UP excursion locomotives are shown in operation. These two action packed programs on one DVD have a combined running time of 1 hour and 25 minutes. As always, the program is packaged in a durable plastic library case with a full color printed cover. Digitally re-mastered with Hi-Fi stereo audio and limited narration.
DVD or VHS. An incredible bargain at only $24.95.

In May, 1994, the Pacific Limited Group operated the CITY OF LOS ANGELES excursion train from Salt Lake City to
Ontario, CA. The world's largest operating steam locomotive, the 4-6-6-4 "Challenger" combined with Union Pacific's
newly restored E9 STREAMLINER diesels to provide a unique mixture of historic steam and diesel power for this
extraordinary event. Once at Ontario, two "CAJON PASS STEAM SPECIAL" excursions were operated. Valhalla Video
was there to record the action from Rainbow Canyon in Nevada to Ontario, the special excursions from Ontario to
Barstow and return, and 3985's departure home. You'll see 3985 double-heading with the E9's through rugged
mountain scenery, including EXCITING PACING ACTION! This is a unique program you will watch over and over again!
