Video Rails came through with flying colors on this three volume set. The intro includes some awesome graphics and upbeat techno music. Volumes I and II include graphics showing the section which Video Rails is about to show on the railroad. Included are grade measurements, maximum track speed, and even in what engine throttle the crews must run in. Volume I takes you from La Grande to Huntington. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery as well as the trains. Video Rails spent some time at the long curve at Crooks, documenting several UP trains and Amtrak's Pioneer. Volume II shows La Grand to Hinkle. The scenery has a smaller quantity of mountains, but this part of the route is very beautiful nonetheless. I enjoy the cab ride in a brand new diesel. Also included are some winter scenes. Volume III documents winter in the "Snow Zone." This video is probably the first video that Video Rails produced with an even better professional camera. I enjoy seeing the snow on the locomotives as well as on the trees. Also, the graphics are even more refined and includes a schematic diagram of La Grande's yard. An added extra shows a brand-new SD60M in switching service at La Grande. This combo DVD even shows the newest locomotives equipped with the brand-new widecab. Of all the Video Rails videos ever produced, this collection is probably my favorite. I recommend it highly to fans of modern railroading.

Video Rails did a fine job on this series of tapes. It was shot when the D8-40Cs and SD60Ms where brand new. There's a good variety of trains and motive power rolling through some of the prettiest scenery in the US. I highly recommend this one!

This is another excellent Pentrex DVD and covers some awesome Winter footage in the mountains. It's 3 hours of rail pounding footage at its best and I highly recommend this video for your collection. The scenery in this video footage is some of the finest I've seen yet on video and the sound & image quality is excellent. You will definitely want this video in your collection if you love mountain railroading! Blue Mountains Vols 1-3 Combo on DVD Russ (Waco, Texas) on 2011-02-17 05:14:06.

Scenery is tremendous in this dvd. I really enjoy seeing and hearing the older diesel power as well as the newer power, such as the SD60's,that was just coming on the scene when the dvd was filmed. Blue Mountains Vols 1-3 Combo on DVD Tom J on 2010-08-08 16:30:03.

I would give this DVD a "B." It is worth having, but it is not spectacular. Blue Mountains Vols 1-3 Combo on DVD UK Phil on 2010-02-06 12:00:57.

This is a brilliant dvd particularly part 3,this one hour part was filmed in the snow with loads of noise from the chugging GE's both types of cabs and the roar from the GMs again both cab types.The cold air must magnify these sounds. The scenery is spectacular and the camera crew deserve praise for their herculean efforts in capturing the brilliant shots from all the different angles and locations that they did. loads of excitement,action and noise pure heaven.

If you're a railfan or a model railroader, this collection will get your blood pumping! The Blue Mountains of Northeast Oregon are some of the most beautiful and challenging terrain you'll ever see. From the heat of the summer to the challenges of heavy snows, this collection shows what the Union Pacific deals with every year. |
