Hot Spots are often very good locations for train watching, and Marion Ohio fits that category. No arguments there. However, in this video, I feel that while there is plenty of train action, I questioned if the producers could have done better. Narration needs a lot of work. There is very little narration, and this video needs some as it lacks screen graphics also. It is your basic "trains rolling by type video with no information video". Because it is directly at diamonds, the trains are also slow moving. Location of where the video is shot from changes little.

This DVD shows the parade of trains at or near the crossings around Marion tower. This is a busy and well-known railfan location so there is plenty to see and there are some good shots. But I ended up rather disappointed and confused. The camerawork is not quite as slick as in other recent Highball DVDs. More importantly with effectively no narration and no graphics, there is nothing to enable the various trains to be identified, which to me is an important part of the picture. The constant switching between locations added to the difficulty of identifying even the direction of trains, despite watching with the aid of a rail atlas. Having recently enjoyed Green Frog’s excellent DVD on Marion shot almost 20 years earlier I was hoping for something better.

The price for a blueray is very good. Any train viewing is worth watching. Even if the shots were dull the picture and it is trains. Loved it. Hot Spots 25 Marion Ohio - CSX and Norfolk Southern across eight diamonds DVD run8anderson (Basking Ridge, NJ) on 2011-06-13 10:25:10.
Picture quality is excellent, but I wish there was more narration and different shooting locations near the topic town. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
