- Fascinating color films of the RF&P, Seaboard, Chessie and early Amtrak in the 1970's into the 1980's!
The Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac, or RF&P, was a 113-mile long double-tracked bridge line that neatly linked northern and southern roads together. This presentation brings the last 20-years of that roads independence to your screen with GPs, F-Units and E-units!
The 1970s became an especially difficult time for many railroads. The bankruptcies, and little-known "could-have-been" mergers, of that era are explained. This was the virtual "minefield" that Chessie and the Seaboard had to operate in. They both emerged in good shape for their eventual merger into the CSX.

Great video! It is nice to see the railroads as they were and should still be. That being many road names and NO GRAFFITI!!!
I do miss the Orange Blossom Special on the RF&P
