As an updated sequel to the 2007 version, this made in 2016 only title, contains more footages that was never shown in the 40 minute video, that concludes with Steam locomotive 73 on a one day only photo Freight Special. This program like most of Les Jarret's titles is still availible on Amazon's Instant prime on the go videos. And Yes Les did do a good job narrating this 2016 only title.
