Review of C&O 614 on NJT

C&O 4-8-4 Greenbrier #614 makes a triumphant return! #614 is the last of a breed, the last of the Greenbriers. Shot as 614 made her way in 1996 from Hoboken to Port Jervis on former Erie rails (now New Jersey Transit rails). This is some heavy steam action at high speed. We'll see lots of runby action, including runbys at an incredible 75 MPH. Highlights include the Moodna Viaduct and turntable and tunnel shots.

An oddity is the N&W whistle 614 sported on a few trips! Stereo sound! Color, Sound, No narration.

Overall rating for this DVD? 5 Star Excellent
4 Star Very Good
3 Star Good
2 Star Fair
1 Star 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"!
