Enjoy a head end ride on board a train of tank cars on the Indiana Rail Road from Indianapolis to Switz City, Indiana. This is a two part set, and in this volume you’ll ride the train from Indianapolis to just south of the settlement of Fruitdale. Video and audio come from several cameras and microphones (no audio from inside the locomotive cab).You’ll enjoy the ride as we travel through urban Indianapolis, then flat farm country, and lastly as we start climbing through the hills of southern Indiana. This line has been called the “Hi-Dry” for the many bridges it crosses. The further out of Indianapolis we go, the more bridges we will see.

very interesting video. Lots of different camera action shows great views of what the crew sees. The video producers do a fine job with an overhead map to explain where they are going at the video beginning. Narration is informative . Well done.
