This video deserves a 10 out of 10 rating for three reasons. Number one, Norfolk Southern put on quite a show. There were plenty of different locomotives pulling a variety of different consists. There is even a scene where slack action causes a coal train to lurch forward several feet after coming to a complete stop! Number two, the scenery is amazing. Between the steep rock walls, tunnels and small towns, there is something for everyone. Lastly, this is a great example of mountain railroading. The sounds of engines at full throttle going uphill their dynamic brakes whining downhill are plentiful. So is flange squeal. If one is interested in mountain railroading or modeling a mountain railroad, this is a good source for prototype info.

Just watched this last night and it was great. This is the kind of stuff you would expect from Pentrex. The Pocahontas district is an awesome location for railfans. The scenery is great. NS puts on a great show with coal and time freight trains. This DVD is definitely for your collection. Along the Pocahontas District DVD minasmorgul8201 (matthews,nc) on 2012-03-26 00:30:16.

Trains are always interesting, no matter of location, or size, or what they are hauling. But there is something majestic about big, long heavy coal trains in a mountainous type scene. This video, set in West Virginia's Appalachian Mountains is a very fine video of just that. We see some beautiful scenery, long trains, some doing reverse moves on branch lines. Norfolk Southern puts on a fantastic show, with all the big power, and battling grades that really make make the trains work. A great presentation of a region that depends so much on the rails.

A Great DVD. Covers the entire Pokey. Seeing N&W Signals. Old C30-7s, SD40-2s and much more older power. And then the newer power is seen as well. This is a great DVD. A Must Have! Along the Pocahontas District DVD Brady on 2009-08-08 20:43:38.
