Hi Ray:
Here is the info on the Train Festival 2011 DVDs from the DVDs' packaging. I stumbled onto these in the fall of 2011 by searching "Train Festival 2011" on Ebay.
[I am not associated in any way (other than as an occasional customer) with either of these vendors and have no financial stake in any sales of these DVDs. I share this with you as a fellow CB&Q fan for your information.]
DVD #1

Length: 86 Minutes
Vendor: C. Lastovich Productions
Videographers: Chris & Matt Lastovich, John Means, Kevin Sadowski, Tom McNair

Ferry move of NZ & IRM equipment from Irm to Rock Island.

I purchased my copy on Ebay in the fall of 2011 for ~ $20. Contact Chris Lastovich at the e-mail address above to see if it is still offered. There is an 08/31/2011 post from him on the IRM Yahoo list about this DVD. Check out e-bay too to see if it is still listed.

E-mail: ?
Other: shop.ebay.com/oglalarail/m.html and www.youtube.com/divergingclearvideo
I bought mine from e-bay for ~ $20. If interested, contact Mary McPherson by phone, by USPS address, or through her store to see if it is still offered.
Good luck if interested and enjoy if you see them. I enjoy my copies and am glad that I bought them. However, I buy & enjoy any BR / CB&Q / C&S / FW&D / Zephyr related DVDs that are offered.

I saw the NKP #765 excursion arrive and depart Bureau, IL on Fri 07/22/2011 and was on site at the Rock Island Train Festival on Sat 07/23/2011 (even had dinner on the NZ while it sat on diplay in the rail yard that evening !). I had to be back home the next day & missed the NZ excursion into Bureau on Sun 07/24/2011, so these DVDs were a great way to enhance my Train Festival experience.
