When moist Pacific Ocean air collides with cold mountain temperatures, it creates an opportunity to see mother nature in her finest white dress. Railroads traverse these mountains by way of scenic routes and steep grades. Put winter and railroads together, and the result is something special: mile long freight trains braving white flurries, passenger coaches on mountain excursions, and small operators battling the elements. This is a Western Winter Wonderland.
Featuring: Stevens Pass, Marias Pass, Mullan Pass, Deer Lodge Pass, Canadian Rockies, Donner Pass, Shasta, McCloud, Pengra Pass, and Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad.

A good film though nothing exceptional re RRs. However, the disc has a "Behind the Scenes" module which shows some of the problems and difficulties of filming in snow and cold, including access to remote camera locations. Two of thee major problems with filming in snow and cold is keeping the lens clean of snow and avoiding condensation from building up behind the lens. All very interesting, even more than the trains themselves sometimes. The disc also has several choices of how one wants to view the program, e.g., with or without narrative, with or without music, etc. I wish more productions had info and choices like these.
