Traveling through the anthracite coal regions of Central Pennsylvania, the Ore Train climbs grades of nearly 2% on the Shamokin Branch of the Williamsport Division. The motive power on the 100-car train is four I-1 decapod 2-10-0 steam locomotives.

The original color film was taken in 1952-53, and is 40 minutes in length.
