In the first half of the 20th century, America's railroads were radically
transformed by the innovation of gargantuan steam locomotives.
Pushed by the need to haul ever longer and heavier trains, the nation's
locomotive works responded with the invention of awe-inspiring articulated
engines. Delivering up to 7,500 horsepower, these steel behemoths could
haul mile-long, 15,000-ton trains. In this riveting program, journey back to the
golden age of steam for an up-close look at these legendary locomotives. See
the Union Pacific's famed "Big Boy" in action and ride the rails of the
Chesapeake & Ohio and Norfolk & Western railways. Meet the men who
drove engines like the Allegheny and Yellowstone, and visit the museums
and yards where the largest steamers ever built remain preserved in time.
