Fantastic video. Great picture quality, the sound is like you are standing trackside. I like that the video spends most of its time on the UP from Cheyenne to Green River. A must have video for any fan of railroading the west.

Nice DVD, shot in an area, seldom videoed. Great footage of older power, with lots of DD40's, early GE's, and rarely seen "Fast 40's" ( SD40's with different gearing-ratios). Picture quality is good, sound is adequate, give the age of the footage. For those who enjoy older UP power, in high-speed action, this ones for you!
Additional remarks by Curt: Narration:Just enough. Would kids enjoy this?Maybe. Image quality:Good. DVD Value::Fair. Recommend to others?Yes.
