Review of Durango & Silverton K-28 Locomotives A Century in Steam DVD

A CENTURY IN STEAM In 1923 the Denver & Rio Grande Western took delivery of ten new 2-8-2 locomotives. Built by the American Locomotive Company, they were part of a program to upgrade the extensive 3-foot gauge lines in Colorado and New Mexico. Soon after they became known as K-28's - K for Mikado-type and 28 for 28,000 pounds of tractive effort. All three surviving locomotives are on the Durango & Silverton, and the railroad ran a 2-day photo special in October of 2023 to celebrate "A Century in Steam." K-28's #473 and #476 were used on the 100th Anniversary Photo Excursion, as locomotive #478 has been out of service since 2016. The first day featured #476 cut-in as a mid-train helper on the way up Silverton. The following day the locomotives pulled separate passenger and freight trains on the return to Durango. This program also takes a look at K-28 doubleheaders on the regular excursion to Silverton, plus the 2022 Fall Photo Train with #476 backdated to an early 1970's
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"!
