Review of Union Pacific Streamliner Collection DVD

 4.3 of 5 (7)
STREAMLINERS! The look captured the imagination of the nation. The name represented luxury, glamour, and mobility. Streamliners epitomized a new world of modern living, symbolizing style and technical evolution in the ongoing fulfillment of the American Dream.

Pentrex is proud to present this comprehensive tribute to the streamliners of the Union Pacific, utilizing material from the archives of the Union Pacific Historical Society, much of which has never before been seen. Three years in the making, this production offers a detailed look at the development and evolution of Union Pacific passenger trains from 1934 to 1971. UP"s streamliners spring to life with fantastic images:
  • America"s first streamlined train, UP"s M-10000, including rare color footage.
  • Steam turbine electrics 1 & 2 in Omaha at the 1939 premiere of the movie Union Pacific.
  • The General Motors Train of Tomorrow, introducing Astra Domes in 1947.
