This DVD is mostly about three Michigan shortlines in the Howell, Durand, Saginaw, and Bay City areas: Lake State Railway, Great Lakes Central Railroad, and Huron & Eastern Railway. The lighting and photo angles are good, and there is ample informative narration explaining the history, motive power, commodities hauled, and other details. I enjoyed seeing the switching moves with the grand Durand station in the background. Each of the railroad lines has many more miles of trackage not covered in this 80-minute DVD, so this could have been longer. Often, Michigan is overlooked, so it is nice to have this quality coverage of this area.

Just received this program, and it's a real winner. Lots of interesting motive power, including a few CN Cowl units and H & E SD40M-2's, GP40W'S Along with GLS GP35's with Alco Trucks. Much to enjoy, especially action at the Beautiful Passenger Station in Durand, Michigan. A great addition to any video library.

Very nice video showcasing three Michigan shortlines. Many of the scenes show Michigan's colorful fall foliage, that really makes the scenes a joy to watch. A very good variety of shots detailing mainline, local, and yard operations. Narration is very good overall. Highly recommended.
