Here's the story of the famous Chessie Safety Express excursions of 1980 - 81 pulled by restored Chesapeake & Ohio Class J3a 4-8-4 614. This fine documentary presents the complete history of the 614 from its days as a passenger and freight hauler to its overhaul and operation in excursion service. Included are interviews with Ross Rowland, steam entrepreneur and owner of the mighty 614.

Thrilling full-color trackside and in-cab scenes show the Safety Express in action at a variety of locations including Baltimore's Camden Station, Harpers Ferry, 17-Mile and Sand Patch grades, the James River line in Virginia, and the scenic line between Huntington and Hinton, West Virginia.

An informative narration by Jim Boyd, Editor Emeritus of Railfan & Railroad Magazine makes the program an important addition to your video collection.
