Review of Diesel Power on the Santa Fe D-117 Charles Smiley Presents

 4.3 of 5 (4)

The Santa Fe we knew is gone but the imprint it left on the west is celebrated here on brilliant color film that has been digitized and edited with care. A number of film sources show the late-great Santa Fe through a variety of motive power changes that reflect the Santa Fe's ability to respond well to an evolving industry.

The careful editing (and excellent maps and graphics) do justice to the subject. This is a fine DVD and one that will appeal t
