Staggering, continuous coal train action on BNSF's Orin line in the Powder River coal basin. UP shares the line, and there is a continous parade of trains. Lots of meets, a couple of side by sides, and 8 (yes, eight) trains in one shot, and even a broken knuckle. Some nice storm light and some nice sunset shots, this is one amazingly busy place.

Well done DVD defiantly worth the price....Ive railfaned the Powder River a number of times and if you like big heavy coal trains (lots of them ) then DVD is for you.
Photography- Excellent image quality is really good, everything is sharp and focused, camera work is smooth no jerking or shacking, mostly shot on sunny day's your on the right side of the tracks with the sun at your back no scenes looking into the sun here, zoom and panning scenes are nice and smooth.
Narration, Maps and Graphics- Narration is informative and interesting, maps and graphics are simple using what was available at that time no Google earth but this was shot in 200

There's scenes of 4, 5 even 7 coal trains all in the same scene, a large verity of motive power form the UP, CNW, BNSF run through and pool power makes this a great show.
