Review of On the Road with Frisco 1522 Steam Ambassador of St Louis

 4.5 of 5 (2)

The age of steam may be long gone, but in St. Louis there is a link to that bygone era. Frisco 1522 until recently was a fully operational steam locomotive that ran on occasion. In this program, you'll see 1522, (which is a 1926-built 4-8-2 Mountain-Type engine) leading the Employee Appreciation Special for the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway, and then pulling a trip at the National Railway Historical Society convention in St. Louis. While on the Employee Appreciation Special 1522 puts on a great show as she pulls the train from Tulsa to Oklahoma City, then on to Ft. Worth. This is no amusement park train just chuffing along, 1522 really gets up and goes! Features:*Running on her old Frisco rails in Missouri *Pulling the Employee Appreciation Special in Oklahoma and Texas *Pulling the NRHS convention special from St. Louis to West Quincy and return. *Plenty of scenes where the locomotive is really working. *DVD includes chapter me
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"!
