5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Steam, February 2, 2007

By 

Casey Jones - See all my reviews

This review is from: Steam Trains (DVD)

If you love steam trains, this is a must. One of the best bargains I've ever purchased. Most of it is excursions, but don't let that stop you. It seems to cover about every steam excursion in the U.S. during the 90's, and there were plenty. Plus some footage from the old days. Better to watch from the outside, as with a DVD, than being on the train. You see more. Photography and sound amazing, and knowledgeable commentary interesting. Thank you, producers.
