3.0 out of 5 stars When giants roamed - and Bill Withuhn offers vacuous comments, February 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: When Giants Roamed: The Golden Age of Steam (The History Channel) (DVD)
This would have been a fantastic video if the frequent comments from Bill Withuhn had been left out. The comments are opinion, not fact, and anytime I hear him speak I am reminded that he is a politician rather than a railroader or railroad fan. Michael Palin would have been the perfect host for this video as seen in his recent journeys series with Nat Geographic.

The video of steam trains in action in the DVD does compensate for the issue above, however. Good variety and very high quality. Loved the N&W Y and UP Big Boy footage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steam Locomotives, January 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: When Giants Roamed: The Golden Age of Steam (The History Channel) (DVD)
This movie done by the History Channel was excellent. The sights and sounds made you feel like you were right there. My grandson, age 5, was absolutely thrilled with the movie. He has watched it numerous times and can tell you all about it.

My husband has always been interested in the railroad and when we watched this,I became interested too. I'm glad we bought this,because I learned a lot from it. I would suggest it to anyone.
