Besides the MLMP Version of the Grand Opening of the Museum located on the western end of Interstate 84, Pentrex & Goodheart Productions were also there as well. Many of these scenes throughout this 25 year old event Would Never be repeated again & again. 3254 & 2317 are still in pieces at one of the shop buildings leaving Baldwin Shop Switcher 26 the only Steam Locomotive to be in operational condition at Scranton. Susquehanna 142 is at the Delaware River Railroad Near the Pennsylvania State Line in Phillipsburg New Jersey. 425 is still at the Blue Mountain & Reading which have since been re-named to Reading & Northern and its located in Port Clinton despite the modifications all over the Gulf Mobile & Ohio Pacific. 261 Still operates today since her 2013 revival, but unfortunately like many of the other Mainline steam giants, 261 was one of them for example Due to One of Amtrak's worst Presidents creating a Ban on all of the steam specials and private cars. Will 261 Ever run on top speed once again like the other giants? Only time would tell.

So there are some good points about this DVD. Sadly, the bad points outweigh the good by a lot.

For example - and probably the biggest - there seem to be four different camera operators. Three of them use tripods, or are very steady. The fourth one, whenever they cut to this person's footage, shakes like you wouldn't believe. Not a little shaking, or a little unsteadiness - but serious shaking.

Also, the editing could use some work - especially during the Grand Parade of Steam. They had all four camera operators (including the shaky one) trained on the tower area (one via zoom from further up the line, towards the main area of the grounds). You would watch an engine pass by the tower - then cut to the next camera angle, and the engine is behind the tower again, so you watch it go past - cut to the third camera angle, and look, the same engine is behind the tower again, so you watch the engine pass the tower for the third time. Cut to the shaky angle, and you get to watch the same engine pass the tower at slow speeds again for the fourth time. Then you see the engine pass by a little further down (from the camera that was zoomed in). Rinse and repeat for the next six locomotives on parade, and it really kills the action and mood.

The positives? This DVD includes more footage than others of Susquehanna 2-8-2 #142's ferry move from New York down to Steamtown. And some of the action shots are decent (except for the shaky camera operator, again).

However, I can't recommend that people pick up this DVD. There are others that cover the Steamtown Grand Opening better. Pick up one of those, you'll be glad you did.
