I could sit for hours on end !! Alcos are the best locomotive around ! Its too bad that all the alcos are gone into history but the dvds bring back the sounds of alcos back to life .Would be neat to see more CN alco power on the dvd s as well !! Maybe a dvd devoted to CN alco s But over all the different areas where tracks don't run on the dvds were great !! Keep up the great work I"m sure happy with the alco dvd !!

What was it like on the Quebec Central Railway line? This is one of the rare videos (it is the only one I know) that shows this Railway. My favorite part is the extremely rare, also the longest footage (about 10+ min) I have seen of CP MLW RS-18 HIGH HOOD, which is not mentioned on the dvd's decription.This part was in vol 1.

What I like mostly in volume 2 is the rs-18u's cab ride

The image quality is good for that time.If you like scenery and chasing trains, you will like it.

If your important criteria is hearing alco's engine sounds you wont like it because it was not filmed for that purpose. You will mostly hear trains passing.

Unfortunately this MLW era is gone forever but these dvds keeps track of it!

Recommend to others? Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter.

Excellent. I have never been to this area, but I thought the choice of locations was well thought out. And the fact that the videos were done in the mid 80's, they were of good quality.

A very well done set, with images that can't be repeated. Of particular enjoyment, at least for me, is the cab rides. The extended cab ride in volume 2 is priceless. Unfortunately the commentary by those involved with the operation and care of the Alcos are contained in the accompanying booklet and are not on the dvd's. Interesting, but short commentary. If you like Alcos, you will want this set.
