It is mostly a picture book with about half the pages devoted to the Knox & Kane and the other half to the Buffalo & Pittsburgh. If you don't already have a copy, look for a soft cover book titled 'Ex-Baltimore & Ohio Lines in Northwestern Pennsylvania' by Robert W. The whistle they had on it in 1997 was quite memorable, and made everything quite unique. I'm more interested in SY58 as I remember it in 1997, not so much with the on off whistle. I really tried hard to get some of my own, but hardly got any. There probably isn't much of a market for the footage, but I'd be willing to pay for it. The last long distance steam train RR in the east. K&K was one of the last long-distance train rides on the east coast-and probably one of the last real shortlines-but it was burdened by being literally in the middle of nowhere with a LONG drive to get there.

Upon viewing much later, the video came out surprisingly well, and we may end up releasing it one day, but the market for a K&K tape is unfortunately rather slim-as you might expect.ДЄlways thought the scenic aspect of the trip was never exploited to it's full potential other than the bridge, as the Allegheny National Forest is beautiful to see in person. Unfortunately, that return trip never happened. We were planning to chase it south, but decided to break off after crossing Kinzua southbound for a LONG drive home planning to come back in better weather. Went up for EBT's Fall Spectacular and after a day of rain with more rain in the forecast for the next day, called up to Marienville and they said steam was running.Д¬hased it through horrible weather, but some outstanding fall color, up to the bridge. The next year, we had better results and got it running in October 1999. After a failed attempt in 1998 during the diesel shortline break of the Syracuse NRHS Convention, we found diesel substituting for a vandalized-induced derailment of 58. If anyone else shot it, it's like our stuff which was never released. That's all the released footage that I know of. There's some rare stuff on that tape with a rare steam trip south of Marienville and a very nice segment of the regular diesel-powered freight in the snow.

Footage of the K&K also appeared in one of their Montage Series tapes, but I haven't seen it, so can't say if there is any 'new' footage there that didn't end up in the full-length program.Д®rie Valley Videos. There's also has some rare footage on the tape of 38 running up there when the bridge was re-dedicated.

Re: Does anyone have Knox and Kane potos or video?Д«erkshire Productions did a tape on the K&K (or originally the KK&K) around 1990 right after 1658/58 arrived, complete with the pedal-operated full-on/off whistle. Can anyone help? I'd be interested in purchasing or trading stuff. I have a few I took myself, but not much. I would love to find some footage or a wealth of images because of my obsession, especially now that it's gone. I kept trying to ride/photograph/video the SY58 in operation, and I had always looked forward to the reemergence of the H&BT 38. It was unique and thick with history and horrible hardships. The Knox and Kane RR has always fascinated me. Railway Preservation News :: View topic - Does anyone have Knox and Kane potos or video?
