Review of Coastliners Vol 2 Santa Barbara to San Luis Obispo

Amtrak, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific trains from Santa Barbara to San Luis Obispo are featured in this second part of the Coastliners video series. Much of the coast line is secluded within private ranches and Vandenberg AFB, and public access is limited to just Jalama Beach and Surf, but you will see the most interesting parts from the train and lineside, including scenes from the full length Amtrak dome car Ocean View. A special feature on the Santa Maria Valley RR shows current operations, including a ride on GP-9 No. 1801, historic film clips of 2-8-2 steam locomotive No. 21 operating in 1958, and a rare look at the Lompoc local operating to the Celite plant near Surf, and the last operating wig-wag on the coast line at Devon. This program was taped over a period of 12 years, and shows many different variations of Amtrak motive power and markings. Digitally mastered in Hi-Fi stereo sound with narration. Running time: 86 minutes.
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"!
