Steam Around The World - East Europe

In the 1960’s, Harry Dodge travelled behind the Iron Curtain, to capture the railways of a bygone age –before the collapse of communism and the demise of steam. With smoke belching forth across every country, this programme explores the unique record he left behind, with rare footage from Yugoslavia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia and Eastern Germany. Steam freight and passengers trains are included as well as tank engines and turntables, and everything from mighty
2-10-0’s to tiny narrow gauge locos; whilst not forgetting all the activity behind the scenes. This rare archive steam footage lovingly captured on 16mm film by the famous American rail enthusiast , Harry P. Dodge
