A nice variety of steam & diesel action . The LTV F-units are a great highlite and worth the purchase alone. However....The commentator does need to learn a little about agriculture and farming though. He does not know the difference between corn and soyabeans as noted in the UP 3985 segment. Diffinately worth the purchase.

It's been 20 years since pentrex has made its final Best Of video as it shows a great variety of steam locomotives such as 2719 (no longer operational today), 261 (2 trips: one in Iowa, the other for the AAPRCO), 4449 (with deleted scenes from steam across the Pacific Northwest), & 3985 (one for the sequel to the VHS only format: California challenger, the other for The author Steve Ambrose) to present day diesels on the rio grande, LTV, VIA rail, Union Pacific, BNSF, & Amtrak. The Marias pass segment is the longest segment in this recently turned 20 year old best of video.
