*About this show:* See all the big-time steam action as Pentrex crews cover the excursions of the 1991 NRHS convention held in Huntington, West Virginia. The four special trips were a great success and you'll witness the lineside action as it was beautifully photographed.
Norfolk & Western 1218 is at its best working though the area in which it was built to run. And run it does! We'll see 1218 pull long excursion trains with ease! Designed for heavy coal drags, a "few" passenger cars in nothing for the big Class A.
The dramatic side by side running of the NKP 765 and Pere Marquette 1225 was the high point of the convention and Pentrex was there to capture this historic and spectacular event. These scenes will leave you breathless as you watch the two engines race down the double-tracked mainline. Double-tracked side-by-side running and running doubleheaded! It's a Huntington Steam Celebration!
