This video has to be one of my favorites from Pentrex. This video does a fine job of documenting Tennessee Pass in its final months of operation. A few Rio Grnade locomotives are shown, even an old GP30. This is a must have for anyone that enjoys mountain railroading!

Great Pentrex quality. Good coverage of the mountain pass and a nice documentary on the current and historical trek through Tennessee Pass. The scenery of the climb and descent through cuts and riverside track beds keeps the viewers interest at all times. The cut-in of helpers on the coal train midway through the DVD is a great rare scene and a nice contrast to track-side runbys.

This is a superb video. The railroading action is top-notch; the narration is just right. Add in the stunning scenery, along with the terrific interplay of shadow and light, and you have an excellent video. But wait - there's more! The videography and image quality are unsurpassed. Pentrex must have had its A team assigned to this project - and it shows. Best railroad video I have seen in my 20+ years of viewing.

Railroading is always a challenge no matter where the lines operate. Add in some mountains, and you add more challenges. Increase the grades to 3% and a 10,000 ft mountain pass and the challenge is to the optimum. Tennessee Pass was just that, a major challenge. The last owner, the Union Pacific went with economics and decided to shut it down in 1997. Pentrex has done a fantastic job at bringing us some of the final action on this historic piece of history. With long trains, many with mid train and end of train helpers, see all the action over the 200 miles plus of the line. High horsepower engines from a wide variety of companies make appearances like UP owned Southern Pacific and Rio Grande, but also appearances from other companies like CSX and Wisconsin Central and their powerful SD45's.

What really grabbed my attention was the scenic beauty of the region. The camera men have gone to great depths to show the viewers this majestic region. Close up shots of trains operating along white water with rafters working the river, to the long distance shots of the Royal Gorge. We see all there is to offer. Add in a few history notes of the region, and you get the most complete video presentation of this region that may have ever be offered for railroad fans and tourists alike.
An absolute Excellent video presentation that all railfans will want in their collection.
