This was my first video visit to the MRL and seeing it in Blu-Ray with this production made it quite a treat. The production unfolds in segments making it easy to watch over several sessions. The producers incorporated enough time compression along with seasonal contrast, like summer and winter, to make for a very fine production. One can appreciate what the Northern Pacific faced and accomplished previously. My wife is not a heavy duty rail fan but greatly enjoyed this one as we watched over several evening meals after long days at work.

As usual with 7 Ideas the photography is stunning, as befits this scenic area. It was great to see Montana Rail in action with SD40's and 45's as well as their modern SD70ACE's. However, as a friend who watched it said, "Great scenery boring trains". I also found that the 7 Ideas crew spent to long in the same location, on occasions with the same three-quarter wedge shot of the trains. Perhaps this was due to the lack of trains or distances or difficult access. MRL Montana Mainline Part 1 Jones Jct to Helena DVD James W Lollar (Oklahoma) on 2012-06-02 18:48:31.

This video is a must have for anyone interested in the Montana Rail Link. It is very complete and quite complete. I have traveled up and down the MRL from Laurel Yard to Sand Point, ID several times and was really impressed with the various video shots of all I have seen in person. I like the winter and summer format and I know that was a lot of work for the field people. I would recommend th video to anyone interested in Rail Rosding.......jwl MRL Montana Mainline Part 1 Jones Jct to Helena DVD ROESLER (Curitiba, Parana - Brazil) on 2012-04-13 15:12:09.

If you like heavy main line action shot in spectacular scenery vivid color and are a fan of the MRL and BNSF this is a must have DVD for you. The action here is nothing short of awesome, everything from intermodial freights and coal trains are all here for you to see. And speaking of coal trains sit back and watch as these monster trains need three sets of power to keep them moving, as an added bonus most of the mid train helpers on these coal trains are four to five unit lash ups of SD40s,SD40-2s,SD45s and SD45-2s, Just awesome in 2011 to see and here these classic EMD locomotives still at work and mixing it up with the latest Gevo's and SD70ACes to keep these massive coal trains moving. An A++++ must have DVD. mysp7377 MRL Montana Mainline Part 1 Jones Jct to Helena DVD Wheelo (Australia) on 2012-01-12 22:49:38.

This is a great show, the camera work is excellent and you have the option of narration on or off. If i had to list a dissapointing part of this show is that i thought it would have shown a lot more MRL action, The show is sold as MRL and you would have thought you were getting a program based solely on MRL but it has a lot of BNSF trains in the show. The beauty of it is that you get the latest BNSF horsepower working hard along with some older EMDs from MRL as well as their fleet of SD70's. Besides the fact that i would have liked to see a lot more MRL trains, these are excellent DVDs and i wouldnt hesitate recommending them, they can be watched and enjoyed over and over again and the footage dosnt become boring as multiple locations are featured and the scenery is great. A must have for MRL and BNSF fans. MRL Montana Mainline Part 1 Jones Jct to Helena DVD Cptl01 (Ontario, Canada) on 2011-12-02 19:29:34.
