I live 10 minutes from the Bear Mountain Bridge, and I worked in a bordering town of Ridgefield Park NJ for a few years in the 1980s, and the chapters relating to those 2 spots on this dvd were great! The others were great too. I don't think the platform on the EAST side of the Hudson [narrator got this incorrect!]from which films were shot exist anymore. Aside from that, interesting locales and maps. Considering the paucity of East coast/Hudon Valley railroading films available on Pentrex, it's always cool to find a homie!

Although filmed some 15 years, this is an excellent DVD that still provides a good guide to the many hotspots in the north eastern states. All the locations are identified on clear maps, and there is helpful commentary both on the locations, including tips on the best photo positions, and on the trains and power shown. The clarity of the pictures is excellent, and stands comparison with modern camera technology. There is also a wide and interesting variety of motive power on display.

Conrail... The ashes to riches railroad. A railroad with plenty of great locations for viewing the trains at work. In this video, we see places like Bear Mountain, Selkirk Yard, Syracuse, Buffalo, Allentown, the Rockville Bridge, Palmer (Massachusetts), and of course no visit to the east is complete without Horseshoe Curve. There is a wide variety of power and companies, including Canadian companies that serve the northeast. It is a very fine video for all rail fans who want to see great railfan locations and are planning a possible trip to the regions once served by Conrail. At 2 hours long, it is an excellent value for the price.

With Conrail gone, this video is a great look back at Big Blue. Those were the days when Conrail was around and I get to relive them every time I watch this show. Conrail was not the only one to put on a good show in this DVD - action from other roads was great as well.

Varied locations, significant elevation changes, some great natural lighting, the varied topography of several states and up close action keeps the viewer's attention throughout the DVD. Many trains in the hold break up straight run-by action. The locations where rails split and merge always have good action and the best ones are all included. This DVD is full of variety from rural areas to the city. Imagery is excellent.

Great DVD I enjoyed it very much the photography and narration are excellent and informative. Conrail gone !!! man I can't believe it I remember when Conrail was formed and everybody joked about it but those big blue diesels sure grew on me and put on an awesome show every time I rail fanned the Conrail across there mid western districts. Both volumes are excellent and well worth the money. A++++
