THE DEFINITIVE RAIL FREIGHT TODAY ARCHIVE COLLECTION

Volume 1 Coal

When the original Rail Freight Today series first appeared in 1989 it caused a sensation. Never before – or since – has anyone looked in such detail at the rail freight scene.
Based on our original material shot 20 years ago for the Rail Freight Today series, now re-edited in DVD quality with a brand new script from acknowledged rail freight expert Paul Shannon, this is a great way to look back at an era of enormous variety.
