"THE HARD COAL RAILROADS" An Anthracite Story Full Movie
Charles Smiley Presents Videos
@charlessmileyvideosAbout
For 33 years Charles Smiley Presents (CSP) has been bringing rail fans, rail historians and model railroaders videos of railroad subjects! Our emphasis has always been on railroads and eras that have either changed dramatically with time, or in many cases, disappeared altogether. CSP uses old movie film and video shot back when the rail scene looked a lot different and their was so much more to see lineside and on the rails. The vanished-differences seem far more appealing to us than the things you can easily see today. Our background began as an idea in 1992. A lifelong interest of trains and the hobby of HO model railroading added the spark. Production Value for each video takes four to six months to research, edit, script, add narration, create maps, add a bit of licensed music and sound effects when needed. We Bring the Trains and the added value! The best railroading is in your own living room tonight

Video Description
Full Movie "THE HARD COAL ROADS: What went wrong www.cspmovies.com The common theme was their early success based on hauling anthracite coal from a unique area in Pennsylvania and the decline of that business. The last decade of these roads largely depended on a declining business in hauling "bridge traffic". The corporate history of these five roads is woven into a wealth of wonderful, all-color, railroading scenes. Our animated maps, made especially for our videos, are used to keep the viewer more informed. We explain all the mergers and some that almost came about. This railroading action has a grand look at five Class 1 rail lines that were independent until 1976. The closing chapter brings the beginning of Penn Central and its rapid failure that swept up the other roads in their northeast. This is a large slice of US railroading history with many "moving parts" -- from a lost but colorful era.
