Thunder on Cranberry: 614 Battles the Steep Grades
What a show of steam! This is the only photographic record of an extraordinary feat, in which the famous C&O engine #614 climbs one of the toughest grades in the eastern United States. 614 ascends the legendary and rarely photographed 2.5% Cranberry grade, unassisted, with a full compliment of heavyweight passenger cars. 614 slows to a walk. Blasts from the stack are slower than human breath, but the engine never falters.
The film also captures #614 tackling the famous 17 Mile Grade on the opposite side of Cranberry mountain. You are within a few feet of the drivers as the engine marches a steady 10 MPH to the summit. The engine blasts over both Sand Patch and the lesser known Streets Run grades. Excellent maps help with locations. And all this is brought to you in a crisp new film transfer. 32 minutes

Then, 614 blazes through the Great Gorge in all its autumn splendor and climbs both Afton Mountain and Allegheny Summit. See and feel the beauty of C&O power!
