This DVD was right on track!, He loved it!!!!! My son is Autistic and he lives in a world of Trains and Locomotives. He learns so much from these train DVD's and he tells everyone all about them. Great for watching on movie night with a big bowl of popcorn, Thank you Train Video Depot, Toot toot!

Incredible video! Beautiful images, some of them quite clear and invigorating. I'm probably influenced by the fact that there aren't many DVDs with Santa Fe steam. In any case, for anyone interested in the 40s and 50s and ATSF steam, this is a must!

The images of the Santa Fe, filmed by Otto Perry, are among the most beautiful! There are truly some moments of beauty in this collection of scenes. The film quality is superb, considering how many years ago these scenes were taken. Truly necessary for anyone interested in historic railroads as well as those interested in the ATSF.
