This program was produced by Trackside Video, a small video company which operated from 1987 - 2008 out of Forest Park, Georgia making train related videos. Most of the Trackside Video programs are lost media and are extremely hard to find, with only 14 full programs (including this one) having resurfaced online so far.

Yet again, a massive thank you goes out to ‪@BenBensonStudios‬, who procured this (along with Steamin In '92) from eBay and sent it my way to be transferred and de-interlaced to 60fps! As of April 17, 2024, this and a few other tapes have been returned to Ben for safe keeping in his personal collection.
