This outstanding program presents Alco and Baldwin diesels
in action on the railroads of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Join legendary
Dieselmeister Jim Boyd, Editor of Railfan & Railroad Magazine, as he hunts
now-retired Chicago and North Western Alco C628s and RS32s, Alligators and
other exotic beasts on the Lake Superior and Ishpeming, Baldwin switchers on the Escanaba & Lake Superior and a Green Bay & Western Alco RS11.
It's all here: multi-color LS&I lashups, the
"world's cleanest Baldwin" in GN colors on the E&LS, pacing a
C&NW C628, RS32s noisily switching opposing yard leads in Appleton, even a
GB&W RS11 almost wiping out a motorist on side-of-the-road trackage!
Jim Boyd's insightful and often humorous commentary, combined
with expert camera work and a stunning stereo soundtrack by Marc Balkin, make
Alcos, Iron Ore, and More! one of the finest diesel programs ever produced.
