Union Pacific's Elegant E-9s and Feather River Canyon E-9s
Sleek and stylish EMD E-8s and E-9s were the backbone of the Union Pacific Railroad’s fleet throughout the 1950s and ’60s. Their classic looks and efficient performance delighted riders up until 1971 when passenger service was discontinued. Twenty-two years later, with the restoration of E-9 locomotives 951, 949, and 963B, Union Pacific revived the image of its famous streamlined passenger trains. Pentrex takes you aboard this retro trainset for two of its most notable excursions. Included on this combo DVD are:

Union Pacific’s Elegant E-9’s.
When UP’s elegantly restored A-B-A set of E-9s pulled its first excursion train from Denver to Laramie, Pentrex was there to cover the event in full. The locomotives look and sound great as they roar past our cameras, rolling over UP’s Greeley Subdivision after their departure from Denver’s Union Station. The throaty growl of the locomotives can be heard echoing through the hills as the E-9s pull the train up the grades of Sherman Hill. UP’s Steve Lee explains the history of the engines and their recent reconstruction. You’ll also go inside locomotive 951 to see the new cab control stand and V-16 prime mover. The era of luxurious train travel comes back to life with UP’s elegant E-9s!

Feather River Canyon E-9’s.
California’s Feather River Canyon saw passenger train service once again when the Union Pacific ran excursions there in 1994. The Feather River Special, with 6 dome liners among its 15 passenger cars, was powered by UP’s sleek A-B-A set of E-9s. Pentrex followed the train from Oroville to Portola on Saturday and Portola to Keddie Wye on Sunday. You’ll witness the special at Williams Loop, Chandler Creek Bridge, Spanish Creek Trestle, and Keddie Wye. Also featured are the tunnels, the Highline, and the Portola Railroad Museum’s restored Western Pacific F-unit. As a special treat, the camera takes you inside E-unit #951 for a cab ride from Portola to Keddie!

Bargains! A Couple of Old Favourites!

A tribute to the best loved paint scheme in America, the classic red and silver Santa Fe “Warbonnet”, originally for passenger trains but resurrected in 1989 and now applied to freight locomotives for fast intermodal service. We take a look at this spectacular paint scheme in current service at many favorite railfan locations on Cajon Pass, Tehachapi Pass, and the Mojave and Seligman Subs, and give you a brief history of the Warbonnet and it’s reintroduction in 1989, and look at the types of locomotives wearing it.
