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!
