Got this tape quite a few years ago...quite entertaining ! Even more enteraining is the Youtube comments that followed.
I had not seen this. Nice preview. The old man reminds me about how my Grandfather used to speak about diesels. His retirement on 12/31/59 from the N&W was in large part due to the N&W plans to go 100% Diesel in 1960.
I believe the whole series can be purchase from Pentrex on DVD.
I believe the engineer is Ed Begley Sr.
Spence, that is Ed Sr.

Is the 1 hour show available? I didn't know. I would be interested in getting that show.

As I stated above, the entire collection of "Big Boy" footage from the UP is/are available from Pentrex.
There some pretty good footage NBC shot for the program.
The program is a hoot. I particularly like when the son tells dad that the UP's ordered 100,000 pounds of diesel locomotives. Ahhh.... The glories of live television.
I'd like a 1/4 pound of F3 please, off the nose... and a thick slice of PA airhorn...

I have 4 of their DVDs, just not that show on any of them. If so was wondering which DVD is it on?

reminds me of "last of the giants" a similar video on the Big Boy. Nice to see the old footage of the giant UP steam engine.
