The most exciting story of passenger trains in America ever!, November 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: All Aboard: Legends of the Rails / Passenger Trains in America [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is one of the most beautiful and informative train programs we have ever viewed. It's an award-winning production that's aired on numerous PBS stations and it makes for great family viewing - kids as well as train lovers will really enjoy this tape. You'll experience the power, grandeur and majestic beauty of passenger trains in America. Their award-winning camera crews take you on an awe-inspiring journey from coast to coast to re-live the history, color and fascinating story of some of America's most popular passenger trains. From the earliest steam locomotives to today's streamlined Amtrak diesels, you'll be treated to spectacular cinematography as these legends of the rails glide through the mountains, valleys, cityscapes and back country of America. Featured locomotives include the Union Pacific 3985, 844, and E9's, Nebraska Zephyr, Norfolk & Western 611, Frisco 1522, and Southern Pacific 4449 Daylight. As a special treat, you'll sit right next to the engineer for an exciting cab ride on the Southwest chief! You'll also enjoy excursion specials, dinner trains, tourist lines, the Denver & Rio Grande Ski Train, plus spectacular footage of Amtrak from Coast to Coast, and much more! Accompanied by a superbly blended soundtrack and inspiring narration, you'll swear you can hear that lonesome whistle blow as you're reminded of the wonder and excitement of travel by rail both past and present! superiorvideo.com
