Review of Cab Ride Along the Santa Fe Trail Part 1-6 6-disc Set!

 4.3 of 5 (3)
Here are the 6 individual Cab Ride DVD's combined into a money saving 6-disc set. You'll get:

Volume 1, La Junta to Trinidad. The first part of the 6 part set, you're in the cab as the train attains speeds up to 90mph! In places, the railroad is even near on the old Santa Fe Trail! This is the Santa Fe's old "passenger route", and there's still plenty of Santa Fe flavor in this part of Colorado, including a multitude of operating semaphores. Along the way, the crew also offers insights about the sights that our train encounters, as well as a description of the new computerized locomotive cab of P-42 #18.The view is mostly looking straight ahead, with occasional shots of the crew or out the side window.Color Narrated From Railway Productions Approx. 70 minutes.

Volume 2, Trinidad to Raton. This is the second tape in the series, and covers the trip from Trinidad, Colorado to Raton, New Mexico, over steep Raton Pass. Approx. 1 hour.
