FROM ALEXANDRIA TO THE BLUE RIDGE The Story of the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad - VHS Price: $2.10 Shipping Included Quantity

This hour-long documentary traces diachronically the development of the railroad that ran along the route of what is now the W&OD Trail, features interviews with the established regional historian Herbert H. Harwood, Jr. (the author of Rails to the Blue Ridge) and with former employees of the W&OD Railroad. Included also are rare film footage of the W&OD from the 1930’s as well as a number of heretofore unseen (by the general public) photographs, over which videographer Steve Carrie skillfully navigates his camera, in the well-known manner of Ken Burns, as period-appropriate music plays in the background and various narrators provide informed commentary. Shipping included.
