This video really has something for everybody! You'll see Santa Fe F45s dressed in the classic Warbonnet paint scheme leading a photography special, the 611 on the Rathole, The Napa Valley Wine train when their units still had their original ALCO engines in them and much more! My favorite section of the video is easily the section on 1218. As always, Pentrex did a great job! 5/5

Made in 2005 this was the first best of pentrex video to be made on DVD. As the program goes, it zig-zags from diesel to steam to diesel again and vice versia. There is still lots of Great steam action with N&W 611 & 1218, plus NKP 765, and the now disassembled GT 4070 on the cuyahoga valley scenic. Some early diesels are also shown, as well as the only new river train where CSX F's operate instead of 765 due to some failures. Speaking of Cuyahoga, that word always uses 2 letter A's not 3. That would count as a goof. Eventually, my copy is the 2014 reprint because of the different menu design, and lots of pentrex previews in the present days.
