As a Turbine enthusiast this was a must have, this DVD makes a good companion to UP's Mighty Turbines. At times the footage is a little grainy but since its super-8 and Turbine footage being rare I can excuse that. If you truly love Turbines this will be a must have as well.

I worked on these turbines at the Salt Lake Shop, and really enjoyed the dvd. I am a retired machinist and still a railroad buff, although I don't get to see any trains in Hawaii, I miss them. Thank you for giving me some remembrance of the good old days. Union Pacific Turbines of the Wasatch DVD RLI (BC, Canada) on 2010-09-30 12:44:42.

I remember seeing these turbines as a kid when my family drove across the States on summer vacation and they were always exciting to watch. My dad would often pace them for a few miles in the car and I'd take photos out the window with my trusty Brownie camera. This video really caught the action and magnificent scenery of Utah and brought back a lot of good memories. I found the photography to be just fine and the variety of subject matter/locations to be very interesting - I'd recommend it to anyone with an interest in the UP and western railroading in general.

Yes as the others said the picture quality is not the best, whereas the other UP mighty turbines DVD is great quality! Yes i know it is older footage, but in the transfer to DVD it is not too good, and in time the footage does get boring, it's the same thing just over and over, just the engine number changes. After watching the other DVD on UP turbines, I would save your money and pass on this one. howie. Union Pacific Turbines of the Wasatch DVD Jeffrey Ornstein on 2009-02-12 16:40:15.

A very good program dedicated to the monstrous UP Turbines. Lots of dramatic footage of the third type of turbines that pulled freights through Echo and Weaver Canyon. The video begins by showing images of the previous two turbines, and even some footage of turbines doubleheading with steam. Then we see the giant locomotives being serviced in the yards and shops, and how they were fueled and sanded. We follow several different turbines through the 62 mile route, with numerous pacing sequences, trackside views and zoom shots from afar. While some of the diesels that were used as helpers burned out along the route, the Turbines just kept going and going. While some of the footage is a bit grainier than one would like, the images are truly awesome. The sound in this video is absolutely incredible. I had to turn down my HT speakers so my neighbors wouldn't complain! If you like big vintage diesels, this is a really great show!

Iliked the dvd but i wanted to hear those monsters roar a little longer and a little louder Thanks big Mike Union Pacific Turbines of the Wasatch DVD rrvideoman (Delisle Saskatchewan) on 2020-03-31 16:58:45.
Turbines.... more of Union Pacific's experiments that met an early grave. Powerful, and heavy... these monsters could work hard. This video, although old, does a fine job showing the power of the engines working for what they were built for. In the end, fuel cost and maintenance issues cut their lives short. A very enjoyable video to watch. History claims another group. Union Pacific Turbines of the Wasatch DVD Steamboy (Revere MA US) on 2020-01-06 19:11:21.
With Jim Knight�s outstanding narration, this 1992 video chronicles these unique locomotives hauling really long freight trains of the golden spike state. Plus there is tons of service action at the Ogden yard and roundhouse, plus a couple of steam shots which were used for the history of these units, as they�re already shown on other Video rails titles: battle up Sherman hill, Union Pacific big boy collection from 2001, Big Boys & challengers from Greg Scholl in 2008, and several others. Overall, good program to enjoy again and again. Union Pacific Turbines of the Wasatch DVD Sumeth on 2010-01-11 08:51:52.
Contents are interesting but quality of picture was terrible as they used film that shoot in the 60'. This some time makes me a bit too boring to keep on watching till the end. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
