Review of Portland Traction Company - Last of the First Interurban DVD

On the 15th of February 1893, the first Interurban railroad between cities opened with "electrified service" between Portland and Oregon City, Oregon. <br><br>Forward thinking businessmen took full advantage of new technologies and the Oregon City Waterfall. Ordering DC generators and equipment to build a power plant, they then went about building a steam railroad quality roadbed, and ran both passenger and freight service from the very beginning. The industry grew rapidly with a second Interurban, the "Sandusky, Milan, and Norwalk", opening later that same year with a 20 mile line in Ohio. <br><br>This documentary is the story of the first Interurban, from the beginning until the very end of service as told through the lense of Al Haij and family. <br><br>Al's consistency in capturing railroading throughout the N.W. with his color 8mm movie and still cameras, has left us with a remarkable collection of images and history that might otherwise been lost to time. <br><br>The Haij family
Overall rating for this DVD?	Excellent Very Good Good Fair Poor
The rest is optional but appreciated.
In your opinion, how was the narration level?	There was no narration. Just enough. Could have used more. A little too much. Way too much. Narration can be turned off.
Aside from the content of the DVD, how would you rate the image quality (sharpness, camera steadiness, etc)?	Poor. A little rough around the edges. Good. Excellent!
How would you rate the VALUE of this video?	Overpriced for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. Seemed a little high, but not too bad. Fair. Good value. Excellent value!
Last question. Would you recommend this DVD to others?	Definitely not! Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter. Yes Definitely. A "Must Have"!
