Steamin' Summer Volume 3 - A DVD from Yard Goat Images

This preview is for Volume 3 of our 3-part DVD series, "Steamin’ Summer". The "Steamin’ Summer" DVDs present incredible steam action during the heatwave of 2011. Volume 3 begins with Day 3 and 4 of the Rock Island Train Festival. This one-time event brought together 7 steam locomotives, historic and modern diesels and more to a Mississippi River site in Rock Island, Illinois. This chapter covers the daily steam trips to Walcott, Iowa and an all-day run with QJ 6988 to Iowa City. Day 4 coverage begins with the historic diesel-powered Nebraska Zephyr train-set on an all-day journey to Bureau Junction, Illinois. Festival ground action includes late Day 4 locomotive movements in Rock Island as trains are made up for journeys home for Nickel Plate 765 and the QJs.
