View three video clips of diesels and gas turbines in action on UP's main line across Wyoming in the 1960s. These clips are from Herron Rail Video's DVD "Rails West," featuring the films of Donald J. Krofta.

About article

Classic Trains is a quarterly magazine celebrating the "golden years of railroading." It covers the North American railroad scene from the late 1920s to the late 1970s. Proud steam giants, colorful streamliners, great passenger terminals, down-home local trains, timeworn cabooses, recollections of railroaders and train-watchers . . . they're all in the pages of Classic Trains.
