| The Complete Sierra 84 Mins #SRP-CS $39.95 The Sierra portrayed in mid-century at the zenith of Steam operations. Locomotives 34, 36 and Articulated 28 with freights that stretch to the horizon. And, of course, 3 and 28 in different colors and road names as each served the movie industry. Dozens of double-headers and two different triple-headers. It covers the foundations on which The Sierra was built: Gold, Timber and Hydro-Power and continues through the period when the railroad became a holy grail for makers of Hollywood Westerns and the Mecca of railroad enthusiasts world-wide. The final steam run is shown and the arrivals of the three famous S-12 diesels. It closes with the 104 year old Number 3 as she appeared in 1995 to celebrate Modesto’s 125th Anniversary. The Yosemite Valley Railroad, the Hetch-Hetchy, and the Yosemite Short Line are presented in archival black and white stills and elaborate 4 color maps. Their relationship to the Sierra and other rivalries are highlighted. Color back |
