Review of Take This Train - Promo Films and Ads from the 1930s to Today DVD

During the 20th Century and continuing today, passenger train operators sought both to promote their services and inform the public. You will view a spectrum of trains ranging from the 1931 "20th Century Limited" to TurboTrain. Let the "Erie Limited" take you to the 1939 World's Fair, or the "Yankee Clipper" on a fast run from Boston to New York in 1941. Take mini-vacations aboard the "Royal Gorge" (1946), "California Zephyr" (1949), and "Canadian" (1955). See also smaller operators, such as Minneapolis & St Louis showing off new streamlined coaches, and, on a somber note, the Central of New Jersey in 1949, warning of losses incurred from commuter operations. Shorter clips represent the modern era: TurboTrain (1967), Amtrak music video "Something Magic" (1993), and spots for the stillborn "Marlboro Unlimited", short-lived "Florida Fun Train", plus "Rocky Mountaineer" and "Royal Canadian Pacific". The gate opens, and the call reverberates through the decades: "TAKE THIS TRAIN" !
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"!
