,Blue Ridge Productions cover the Old Main Line of the B&O. With that in mind, we've spent parts of the last two years shooting whatever trains we could find on The Old Main Line" of the B&O Railroad. We've tried to give you as complete an idea of the railroad as we can, showing you tracks from Baltimore west to Frederick Junction. This video covers 55 miles along the oldest railroad in the nation.We've covered almost every crossroad, overpass, all nine tunnels as well as showing some of the 175-year-old artifacts that were originally parts of the roadbed.
Luckily we caught a number of different types of trains to show all the different locations. Of course most of the trains were CSX powered, although there are occasionally some interesting visiting power units. We took efforts to give you some interesting views as well as show you parts of the Patapsco River Valley many folks have never seen before.
Blue Ridge Productions shot our footage on Digital Video equipment and edited on computer. We recorded superb stereo sound and completed our post production on digital broadcast materials. Then we duplicated from Digital Betacam masters, providing viewers with the highest quality duplicates available.
Ask for the tape at the B&O Railroad Museum Gift Shop, the Brunswick History Museum, and your local model train stores. Those of you in Europe should check with Steam Powered Video for PAL versions. For a sure way to get yourself a copy, see the information below.
