This review is from: Locomotion - The Amazing World of Trains (DVD)

a very good movie for the person who wants to know about the development of trains. This is not for the young child, it is very good for information for reports for school and as a teaching aid for geography or history lessons.
a good well made movie for the older person

4.0 out of 5 stars Railroad History in a Nutshell, September 21, 2002

This review is from: Locomotion - The Amazing World of Trains (DVD)

As a 'Live Steam' addict, found this to include a number of International historical viewpoints that added to my appreciation of Steam Locomotion and its role in world history.
The second episode - on the strong British Isles contribution to this advance in technology was important, my perspective had been shaped by the American Steam experience.
If you are into Steam and the Industrial Revolution - this is a 'must have' in your collection to share with your friends; or just to gain a more Global insight into this 150 years of History.

This review is from: Locomotion - The Amazing World of Trains (DVD)

I was expecting a history in the technological development of railroads; instead, the series focused primarily on the social implications and economic impact brought about by the railroads.
