Editorial Reviews

Four full seasons of steam railroading: It all adds up to a captivating new Golden Age of Steam on four DVDs, comprising an entire year of rail videos produced for rail fans and hobbyists alike. Steam in the Spring starts a sensational, seasonal steam saga with eight separate rail journeys pulling passengers and freight all over the USA, from New Mexico to Michigan and Ohio to Owosso. The rails heat up with Steam in the Summer featuring six featured steamers including Colorado’s majestic Eureka & Palisade locomotive #4 built in 1875, and the Ohio Central’s passenger train gliding through Amish country. Crisp days and vivid twilight provide a colorful backdrop to Steam in the Autumn offering seven vibrant excursions throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The calendar winds down with Steam in the Winter and its threesome of exciting freight recreations including a thrilling run from a Nevada ore mine.

These 4 DVD's are great value for money, after seeing excerpts at a friends house I immediately set about ordering my copy.
Great photography, interesting & helpful commentary, anyone interested in steam railways should order this set. From Spring thro' Summer, Autumn & Winter these DVD's are great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good video's, long and redundant advertizing, June 4, 2011

Each of the 4 disks has too much advertizing for the other disks in the same set. This makes it hard for someone to sit down and just enjoy the subject matter. Since the 4 disk set contains all the different scenes, all the advertizing should be removed. If done, that would be a good set for modern steam train 'chasers'.
