Excellent DVD. Owned this on VHS. Glad Pentrex finally released onto DVD. Great narration, images of things now gone, great quality. A must have for all. Into the Allegheny Range Volume 3 The West End 2-disc DVD Ronnie (South Carolina) on 2013-07-23 05:59:17.

Lots of older equipment and different perspectives of the same train. Also liked the seasonal shots, particularly those with snow falling. Into the Allegheny Range Volume 3 The West End 2-disc DVD WisconsinEric (East Central Wisconsin) on 2013-07-22 21:16:28.

This is the third in an excellent 4-part series (I had all on videotape, Pentrex is now releasing the last 2 volumes to be converted to DVD). Detailed almost mile-by-mile coverage on the ground (and occasionally from the engine) of the Cumberland to Grafton, W. Va. "West End" of the old B & O. Videography is excellent, and frequent maps help you keep track of where you are (I wish all rail videos did this good a job). Image quality is clearly improved from VHS, but it is still obviously DVD, not HD quality. My copy had a little stutter about halfway through the 2nd disk, unusual for Pentrex; I am not sure if this was a DVD defect - looked like it may have originated from the old source tape. Not bad enough to merit the trouble of returning. Although this runs 3 & 1/2 hours, it didn't seem long (really!, though I'm a native of West Virginia). The mountain scenery is beautiful, shown in four seasons, and rail action extensive in tackling tough mountain grades. Highly recommended for any railfan; if your areas are B & O, mountain railroading, or the Appalachians, this would move up to a must-buy.

Iron Horse America, later Pentrex puts together an excellent video presentation of eastern mountain railroading at it's finest. Steep grades, various season including hard work in the winter adds to the enjoyment of this video. Some cab ride enjoyment also, along with ground scenes in an extremely scenic part of the USA. This is a great show for all rail fans. Into the Allegheny Range Volume 3 The West End 2-disc DVD Chase Freeman (VA) on 2019-08-03 14:52:18.

Of all the "Into the Allegheny Range" programs, this one is easily my favorite! The video starts in Cumberland and takes you over the mountains to Grafton, WV. It shows a few of the online costumers and goes into detail about the train operations at the time. The viewer is treated to a cabride in the CSX F units for a trip through the mountains. My favorite section of this video is when they chase a train up the now abandoned M&K Branch out of Rowellsburg. You'll even see a GP30 still wearing the Chessie scheme leading a mine run! Pentrex really hit it out of the park with this one! If you are a fan of early CSX or mountain railroading, BUY THIS DVD! 5/5 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
