Bangor & Aroostook Railroad - The First 100 Years
1891-1991
"Relive this epic story as it unfolds through
rare, archival black and white and color film footage of Bangor and
Aroostook steam and diesel power in action, century-old photographs of the
line's construction era, and on-camera appearances by retired employees.
This railroad forged an iron link between America's rugged Northeast and the
rest of the nation. See the road's freight and passenger trains as the
highball through Maine's scenic railroad vistas!
"Union Pacific had some of the largest
steam power ever built, and the two biggest engines were the 4-8-8-4 "Big
Boy", and the 4-6-6-4 Challenger type. Enjoy both types of Challengers, the
3800 and 3900 series, as well as plenty of coverage of the famous Big Boys,
including over half of the 25 that were built. "
