Climb aboard the cab of a New Jersey Transit U-34-CH diesel engine for an exciting "Head-End" ride from Hoboken to Netcong, N.J. via the "Boonton Line". This line was once part of the Lackawanna Railroad and is now operated by New Jersey Transit. This program was taped on December 28, 1990 just after a nine-inch snowfall, which further enhances the scenery on this picturesque line. In-cab narration referring to towns, interlockings, tunnels, rivers, bridges, stations and other points of interest is provided. Also featured are in-the-cab shots of the engineer at the controls as well as shots looking hack at the train rounding curves and stopping at stations. 90 Minutes - Color - Sound

I really enjoyed the Boonton Line video. However I always get "cold" when I watch it. A cab ride through the snow which is AWESOME. Crossing the grade crossings and watching the displaced snow blow up onto the windshield of the locomotive is something the passengers never see. Walt Berko brings the entire experience of running through the snow a truly incredible watching experience. As with the other Railroad Video video products I have purchased, there is no chatty yackety Yak narration droning on and on. The narration is provided by Berko and the train crew. A great video for your collection.

This is an incredible video experience from Walt Berko and his camera. Seeing the train running through a very snowy landscape was different from many other videos I have seen. There is a lot of incredible scenery and when you watch it, don`t be surprised if you start feeling...... Well a little cold. For something differend in cab ride videos you can`t go wrong with this one.

Agree with the other reviewers. This is a stunning video. This train was the first westbound train on the line that morning after a heavy snowfall. Beautiful.
