Favorite train video?

I would have to say my favorite railfan video is Pillars of Smoke in the Sky by E.C. Eddy. I find it does a great job at showing the final years of steam on the N&W during 1957 while Mr. Eddy railfanned it. It really gives you unique angles at seeing Class Y and Class A locomotives working hard up the Blue Ridge.

For me it would have to be No.261 Rebuilding a 4-8-4 by Goodheart Productions.  It is a very detailed look at the rebuilding of No. 261. I haven't seen anything that comes close to equaling it.

Skyfire's "Daylight Express." Excellent video for railfans and non-railfans; good story, excellent scenery, good non-intructive music  and the Daylight locomotive.  

Green Frog's "Santa Fe Odyssey, Part 1" which is the first VHS fan video I ever bought. I love the Warbonnets and the films of Emery Gulash.

Well, I don't know if I've found a favorite yet!  I only recently started searching for train videos on YouTube.  The History of Steam Locomotives is the first full length video I've watched.  In that video there is a clip of the UP 844 rescuing a stalled diesel freight train.  That is hands down my favorite clip.  

My dad's Lionel 671rr was the engine that started my love of the hobby.  I have been researching the S2 on and off for the past 15 years or so.  I found 1 short clip of it pulling out of Chicago.  That one ranks up there simply because it seems such a rare find.

For now, I am watching the UP 844 primarily but also the UP  3985, NP 765, and SP 4449.

The Santa Fe Warbonnets are another favorite of mine dating back to my childhood.  Possibly the next google search...

The series of Bob Chester home movies that have been posted to Youtube.com.  The videos are made from scratchy film typical of that day, but the content is a treasure for folks who railroaded in the Southwest. 

Free range N&W steam in its natural habitat.

Hooters and Pillars are tops for steam, but my favorites are 8500 Turbines of the Wahsatch, and Union Pacific Turbines by Pentrex.  High on the list is Herron's Lines West Pennsy vid with lots of Sandusky Line action.

Oy!  That's a tough one!  The discs I turn to most often are collections of old RR films from the 50's and earlier.  One set, "Railroads: Tracks Across America" has "Last of the Giants", "The Nickel Plate Story" and "The Modern Coal Burning Steam Locomotive" among the 36 films on the 2 DVD's.  12 1/2 hours plus makes great viewing when broadcast TV leaves a lot to be desired!
