Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
An incredible resource for railroad and history buffs, Eastern Railroading looks at historic trains and railroads in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania Amish country, West Virginia, and Illinois in order to understand the emergence of railroads as a binding force in American history. With the help of interviews with historians and railroad experts, legends and folklore are explored as well as the mechanics and maintenance of locomotives. The collection of working locomotives in Pennsylvania's Amish country are particularly fun to see maintained and operated under 19th-century conditions. Special segments include passenger train history, the Pacific Railroad Act, commuter train operations, and the controls on Amtrak's EMD 103 super locomotive. The DVD's special features include Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, digital railroad sound selections that make fun use of Surround Sound, and Internet links. --Erik Macki

3.0 out of 5 stars Great railroad DVD, but..., January 15, 2008
By Las Vegas Mikey (East McKeesport, PA USA) - See all my reviews
I enjoyed this DVD, but the hokey music that played constantly was a real turn off for me. I wish that there was a way to turn off the music and just hear the trains run. As I am a hard core railfan, I'd much rather hear the steam whistles and stack talk. The photography was excellent, and visiting the four tourist railroads was a treat. It would have been nicer if they had also visited Steamtown in Scranton, PA. I gave the DVD only three stars because of the irritating music.
