in the early 90s pentrex recorded action with the santa fe on the Needles Subdivision in the Mojave desert of California from day to night lots of the colorful santa fe diesels all this action is amazing before the merger with the Burlington northern about 3 years after this production this'll give you a apparition for dessert railroading much like two other videos from pentrex I own the stormy and Arizona's short line railroads

Excellent DVD good camera work and informative narration keeps the show interesting. Its hard to believe all these great Railroads like the Santa Fe are now gone it only seems like yesterday I could see SP red and gray, Santa Fe blue & yellow and those awesome red and silver war bonnets taring up the main lines across Southern California's passes. If your a fan of the Santa Fe or just like good main line action get a copy.

I purchased this DVD on sale, however knowing what I know now I would have purchased it anyway. It's nice to see the old Santa Fe colors represented alongside some cultural background of sidings and old buildings on the track side. Overall I recommend this to any fans of the Cajon railroad region.

I really enjoyed this one: Hot Santa Fe trains with good looking power running through beautiful and interesting scenery, all made that much better with superb camera work, image quality and audio. The narrator at first admonishes us that contrary to some people's notions, the desert is not a boring place to railfan, and at the program's conclusion they hope they gave the viewer a new found appreciation of desert railroading. This they did. The great camera work makes full use of the terrain and lighting, and IMO, some of the most beautiful scenes were shot in late evening twilight. As this video came out sometime in 1992, the ( then ) new red/silver "warbonnet" paint scheme are reasonably plentiful, but do not dominate as they would a few years later just before the BN merger. Narration is informative/interseting and I was happy to find it didn't drown out the natural train sounds during the runbys. Definitely reccommended.

Lots of interesting trains highballing through some desolate country. Long heavy weights behind warbonnets is good to see. It's your basic train video and while good..... nothing to exciting beyond that. The Mojave is an interesting location being so barren and with it.... many locations you can see a long distance. No disappointment as long as the viewer is not looking for something special.
