Excellent DVD..... format is similar to other Plets Express DVD's, I got the Blu Ray version and the photography is crisp and clear with vibrant colors, steady camera work with some real nice scenes along the Mississippi River. Just about everything CP Rail has for power you will see in this DVD. ECO units running with older power, pool and leased power make appearances. Narration: Plets Express always goes the extra length to give you a lot of info with his narrations not just a quick info on the train at hand. A really enjoyable DVD. A+++++

I am not really a fan of the CP, but must admit, this is a really great program. Excellent camera work, very interesting locations were chosen, and quite a lot of variety of Motive power. The shots, showing street running, are superb. This is one most rail fans were want to add to their collection.

Being a fan of the CPR, I had to have this video. Having travelled the route of the video 1st hand added to the interest. No disappointments here. A great presentation of a busy line . The views of the scenery of the region is well done and how the railroad follows the mighty Mississippi, showing the water traffic as well. Added bonus is the steam train excursions shown . Excellent video that is a must for all rail fans.
