The High Def quality is very good on most of the BluRay disc. There are parts where the quality is lacking -- but it well could be due to lighting and weather. The views inside the cab are excellent. The various gauges stand out and are clearly readable in a lot of shots. Since I live in Northern California - I have actually rode on the Feather River railroad (Western Pacific) and over Donner Summit in the Sierras (Southern Pacific). It is beautiful Western mountain scenery along with a beautiful steam locomotive.

Disappointing, as the whole first 2/3 is interviews with the engineers, firemen, and various railfans, with annoying narration and most of the video shot inside the locomotive cab. It was basically a Union Pacific PR piece. What I wanted was documentation of the trip, and some discussion of the details, like the consist of the train and who rode on it. Finally, at the very end, they did a scene-by-scene narrative of the trip from Sparks to Roseville, but not much detail and no description of the WP Feather River Canyon portion of the trip, or any of the others. I'm already searching for a better video ...

Recommend to others? Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter.

What can I say about this video? The narration a perfect the scenery is awesome and also 844 itself is popular too.
