A real working logging railway, with steam in use on a daily basis. The last steam logger in Europe, possibly the world. We rode working logging trains, or a railbus following the trains. In addition to the trains and the people, in Romania's Water Valley in perfect fall weather, you'll be chased by a train, see logging disconnects being loaded, the daily activity in Viseu, realigning track with a crowbar, and see a derailed loaded disconnect being rerailed, 3 ring circus doesn't begin to describe it! Plus you'll see a couple of diesels, and some of the bizarre truck/van hirailers, including firey cold starts. Health & Safety would have a fit, hard hats? safety goggles?

In the past, iconic trains like the Simplon-Orient-Express or the TEE used to cross the Alps on the Simplon route. Today the sleek dual-system Cisalpino trains offer fast services between Switzerland and Italy. The way goods trains are operated changed with the entry into the market of new providers. In December 2007, the opening of the Lötschberg base tunnel will raise the importance of the Simplon even further.

See these interesting and varied railway operations on the Simplon, with fascinating helicopter shots showing the remarkable setting of the line in the beautiful Alpine panorama between Lake Geneva and Lago Maggiore.

Historical footage recalls the steam age and the legendary Ce 6/8II and Ae 8/14 locos. Goods trains pulled by locos of SBB, BLS or TX-Logistic are shown along with DB 185s or Taurus. The film shows the past, the present and the future of this unique railway line.

From the clearing of snow in June to the shutdown in October, our camera accompanied the eventful running of this railway enterprise in a superb, picturesque and nearly untouched high-mountainous region.

Surrounded by alpine flowers the train climbs up to 11.8% at its steepest sections and travels over bold curved viaducts. See also the folding bridge (dismantled for winter) over the "Steffenbach" and the 1847 m long peaktunnel on Furkapass.

At the turn turn of the 20th century, the area of Wielkopolska in Western Poland was the home of one of the last regular steam operated railways in the world. Wolzytn is the center of activity here steam hauled passenger and freight trains roam the rails on rural lines that radiate from the picturesque village.

Spend Sunday afternoon on the main station in Zurich, Switzerland, with 64 trains in one hour, including French and Italian. Then we head down to the Gotthard Line for a look at both passenger and freight trains. Amazing action, and they run to time!

This video is marked by romantic and also unusual camera shots; beautiful pictures taken from the helicopter round off this (train) film.

Filmed over 16 years, the story starts utilising Class 50 member's footage at Exeter Riverside. It covers the removal of Ramillies from the Riverside Yard by road including the breakdown of the road transport tractor and the subsequent stranding of the load in the middle of Exeter City. The tractor unit is replaced but further delays are endured with the discovery of a broken link on the suspension of the trailer and then visits from council officials who are anxious about the height of the load under the M5 motorway bridges. Five years pass and the locomotive is now at Eridge in Sussex, this part of the film covers some of the remarkable work members have achieved to restore Ramillies. We also see Ramillies running under her own power to Tunbridge Wells for again loading on to a road rig in preparation for her move to The Mid Norfolk Railway. All the loading on to the rig is covered, so if you have ever wondered how to get a 117 ton loco on to a low loader then watch this film. Finally we see Ramillies at her new location on The Mid Norfolk Railway and take a trip with her along that line to Wymondham Abbey.
