European Railway Line by Line: Austria 'The Semmeringbahn North Ramp 2017' (Blu-ray)

Ref: LN906B

The Semmeringbahn is one of Austria’s most famous rail routes linking Vienna with the south and south-west of the country. Built over 170 years ago, today, it is still a busy mainline with numerous passenger and freight trains using the route to travel over the Semmering Mountains. This programme looks at the trains, stations and some of the photographic locations on the north ramp of the line between Gloggnitz and Semmering. With a new base tunnel currently being constructed and scheduled to be opened in 2026, much of the traffic that currently uses the route is on borrowed time as it will be diverted underneath the mountains on to the new line. Our visit was made in July 2017 and shows a whole host of locomotives and train types. Included are classes: 1142, 1144, 1016, 1116, 1216, 193, 386, 4020 and 5022. With as many freight trains as passenger trains this route is a surprising rival to some of the long-established Alpine Crossing lines that feature more prominently in other countries such as Switzerland. The programme shows not only trains but some of the beautiful scenery through which the line was built, including some spectacular tunnels and viaducts that have now helped preserve the line as a World Heritage Site.

American Railway Vol. 22: Lone Star Railroads

Ref: LN2022B

Our fourth visit to Texas, the Lone Star State, focuses on railroads to the North and South of Fort Worth. Locations to the North include Denton, Argyle, Ponder, and Keller. In Fort Worth we visit the UP Davidson Yard, see the Fort Worth and Western RR switching customer sidings, view Amtrak and Trinity Rail Express passenger trains at the Intermodal Transportation Center and visit the busy rail junction at Saginaw. To the South, vantage points include Cleburne, Kopperl, Meridian, Clifton, Valley Mills, and McGregor. Twenty-eight locomotive types are featured belonging to twelve railroads plus leasing companies, in the varied landscape in this area of Texas. To add to your viewing enjoyment, this program includes a brief interlude showing three trains in Iowa, including a rather loud CR and IC MP15 mother/slug pair! Many scenes feature two-camera action sequences offering additional views of the passing trains.
