Overview

Ol' 556 celebrates the Alaska Railroad's early days when courageous men and powerful steam engines battled nature to keep the line open. In the late 1940's, the steam engines were gradually replaced by the new diesel-electric locomotives, but Ol' 556 comes back to life to save the passengers from a horrible fate in this dramatic tale that will thrill boys and girls alike.

Also includes a wealth of historic photos and other educational information sure to please train buffs and hobbyists.
