You Frisco video buffs need to get hold of Green Frog's "Passenger Trains Of The 60's" DVD. There were originally three VHS volumes and they've now been combined into one DVD. There are probably FIFTY Frisco passenger train run-bys in the whole set. KC-Florida Special, Sunnyland and Southland. Also passenger trains of the SR, IC, L&N, SAL, C of GA., KCS and many others. Included are run-bys of the Southern Ry's version of the "Kansas City Florida Special." Tom
