This program has been re-edited and some footage color corrected that was at the beginning of the program. Also some things like the cab ride were lengthened and a few shots added that were not in the original 60 Minute VHS. Also the cover has been remade for the DVD, and VHS programs will still remain 60 minutes with the original covers.
Washington State's Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad is the location of this
presentation which features the two rarest types of geared steam
locomotives. Heisler #90, a 90-ton, 3-truck locomotive built in 1930 is
joined by the newly restored Climax #10. The Climax is ex-Hillcrest Lumber
Co. which operated on Vancouver Island, and was the last standard gauge
Climax locomotive ever built. Scenes show the now unused line to Morton,
plus a rare view underneath the Climax. More Details Here

We begin in Cheyenne as 8444 has received its original number 844 (a UP
diesel was retired with 844) and is set for a July 1989 outing. The 844 was
requested to host the opening of the new Dispatch Center in Omaha and pull
the UP Board of Directors on a dinner train. The coaches are already there,
so 844 pulls regular freight trains 500 miles to Omaha and back, pulling 4
different freight consists. More Details Here
