This program features a "Head End" ride from Harrisburg to 30th Street Station, Philadelphia aboard an Amtrak F40PH diesel engine. Leaving Harrisburg you will see a Conrail Mail train passing along the Susquehanna River, pass by "Three Mile Island" towers and then begin passing through the scenic Pennsylvania Dutch countryside. After stopping at Lancaster Station we continue east past many Amish farms, around "Gap" curve, pass Parkesburg Station (used in a scene in the Harrison Ford movie "Witness"), Pass over the Coatesville High Bridge, pass Conrail's Thomdale Yard, pass Downingtown and make a stop at Paoli. On the move again we pass many quaint "Main Line" stations before arriving at 30th Street Station, Philadelphia. 105 Minutes - Color - Sound

This is a good DVD to see it has nice sceanary to see through the Pennsylvania Dutch country it has nice narration along the way. It was done in the 80s but it has great quality video. Kids may not like it but it is a great cab ride for rail fans.
