Excellent video...good in content, cinematography, audio, and editing. Great views of eastern New York and its commuter trains. Nice looks inside the terminals and inside the locomotive cabs. This video is mostly passenger and commuter trains, with not too much freight. It is also mostly cab ride, not run-by. But that's OK, since you get to ride inside some vintage passenger equipment! Parts of the video are pretty educational, especially regarding the dual-power FL9 locos and the two types of electrical service (catenary vs third rail). An excellent pair of programs, worthy of Pentrex' great reputation in railfan videos. No complaints here!

This video is easily one of the favorites I have in my collection! You are treated to not one cabride, but 2. One is in one of Amtrak's FL9s and the other is in one of their Turboliners. You'll even hear the late Pete Staats playing jingle bells with the K5LA on one of the FL9s. This video is a must for any Amtrak fan! 5/5

Over 25 Years in the Making, Railroading in the east was never been as interesting like this at all. These 2 videos were eventually historic since the former New Haven FL9's on Amtrak is Gone as Well as the Turboliner. One Major Gripe about this combo DVD is that Neither of these 2 Programs have capter menus whatsoever. You have to watch these 2 programs just like when they were released on their own VHS Tapes in 1992. Fun Fact Alert: these were the Prequels to the Northeast Corridor Videos.
