3.0 out of 5 stars A spectacular head on train crash at the end, however..., October 11, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Wichita, KS) - See all my reviews

it is dynamite enhanced as every car explodes in a fire ball just after the locomotives touch. It's neat but not believable. The story line overall is fair to fairly good. If you're a rail fan or like dramatized history, this is a good show. There's great footage at the beginning of vintage diesels and passenger trains running through the mountains. END

3.0 out of 5 stars Clear Technicolor missing., July 8, 2001

By	"[e-mail]" - See all my reviews

On the VHS they recorded it super long play using a small amount of tape. This ruined the beautiful Technicolor. Still worth buying for the price, or cheaper, unless they redo it another way. Sound was not ruined. Picture clear enough to watch, but the details, such as leaves blowing in the wind, and the overall brillance of technicolor do not show through like they should.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good railroad story, April 15, 2001

By	L. Smith "chocoholic" (Spartanburg, SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is about the rivalry between two railroads to build a route through the Rocky Mountains. Lots of action, some comedy, a little romance, wonderful scenery, and a spectacular crash between two locomotives make this an enjoyable film to watch.
