Review of A Quarter Century of Steam DVD 25 Years Along the High Iron

A Quarter Century Of Steam: 25 Years Along The High Iron

65 locomotives.

Four hours on two DVDs.

Footage is organized by year, running in chronological order beginning in 1985. Narration is kept to a minimum, with titles and graphics presenting basic information and allowing for much faster pacing.
