Enjoyed seeing the Frisco 1522 galloping (steaming?) through Texas. Gave me some ideas on where to bench trains in that part of Texas.

This was an excellent Pentrex production. Even though I've never seen 1522 in person, from what productions I own featuring it, it is one incredible steamer. I'm rather sad it had to be put back in retirement thanks to stupid insurance and maintenance.

This was before it's second retirement on BNSF's employee special, and the camera crew did an excellent job covering it's trip through the Lone Star State. Scenes of it when it was really flying were awesome! Seriously, steam engines on the mainline today shold be permitted to run at speeds like that.

Anybody who likes Pentrex or the 1522 in general must have this production. They've captured this engine in the excllent quality we've come to expect from them.

If you don't mind seeing the same train over and over again then you won't mind this video. Even though different locations were shown, I still had to watch this video in segments because I got bored after a while. Don't get me wrong, the 1522 is a great steam engine and she put on quite a show, but seeing the same train again and again got a little old after a half hour of watching the program. If you have a few minutes of free time, but not enough to watch a video the whole way through, bring this tape...

2001 was the last run of frisco 1522 this the second dvd I have of the engine I must say pentrex did great with the trackside view of this engine traveling in the state of Texas wish they could let this engine back for more trips but nice to have a dvd showing the engine before retirement the following year

This DVD is the best one so far, for me. As a kid I had a few travels on steam engines, so I have a definite love for them. And ole 1522 really gave me a thrill, seeing the engineer pour the coals to her, and let her run...
