Our subway DVD is finally off to the replicators! Several months of DVD authoring has paid off -- I think history buffs and rail fans will really dig our product. It's a specialty item, but we've been getting emails and phone calls from folks around the country since we first announced the special edition a few months ago.
Check out the website, too. I'm open to suggestions for ways to improve it. Soon I'll have several articles online (from the time of the VHS release). Also a press kit for reviewers and retailers.

=====================================
"The End of the Line - Rochester's Subway" tells the little known story of the rail line that operated in a former section of the Erie Canal from 1927 until its abandonment in 1956. Produced in 1994 by filmmakers Fredrick Armstrong and James P. Harte, the forty-five minute documentary recounts the tale of an American city's bumpy ride through the Twentieth Century, from the perspective of a little engine that could, but didn't.
Billed as the story of the smallest city in America to build and abandon a subway, "The End of the Line - Rochester's Subway" originally aired on PBS and The History Channel. It earned a Bronze Telly Award and was voted Best of the Fest at The Rochester Independent Film Festival. For twelve years it has taught young and old the history of New York's third largest city.
Providing music for the DVD are world-renowned composer Philip C. Carli and Rochester's traditional music duo, The Dady Brothers.
Animatus Studio has been operating in Rochester, NY since 1989. The studio specializes in traditional animation for film and video, but also handles web animation, 3D and 2D graphics, and video editing.
