Railroad junction areas can often provide a variety of rail action, and this DVD offers an interesting mix of trains, locomotives, trackage, and lineside structures. However, in this case, the subject matter goes beyond the title since the videographer also sought out other spots in an easterly direction. So, besides the Argo, IL area, La Porte, IN; South Bend, IN; and Elkhart, IN are presented. Locomotives include those lettered: IHB, BRC, SP, UP, CNW, Conrail, GTW/CN, SF, NS, NYS&W, CSX, WC, BN, NS, SSW, Amtrak, and others. Many engines of the nineties are shown as well as Geeps and end-cab switchers from an earlier build time. The action runs from light engine moves to switching to fast main line running. This video is marred by camera problems showing up in lighting and focus issues. I happen to own a few of the original producer's VHS tapes when they came out having these same issues. I was hoping after ten years under another DVD owner the issues could have been corrected, since as a group, they do cover some interesting areas.
