I thought the production Company did a great job of using available film to make this DVD. I think the narrator could have 'filled' in the blank areas with a bit of history about the towns the train passed through.

Excellent footage, although it is probably just a rail fan's home movie that was transferred to DVD. Because I live in the area and bike on the path that was the Aurora & Elgin rail line, I was very interested in obtaining this DVD

Narration: Just enough.
Would kids enjoy this? I doubt it.
Image quality: Good.
DVD Value: Overpriced for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it.
Recommend to others? Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter.

From 1947 to 1951, I road the CA&E from Wayne to Wheaton to attend high school. The DVD is a wonderful time capsule.
