5/5 Great for train and scenery lovers
  by Stephen A. Williams
This outstanding cross section of various types of surviving steam engines, as well as some off the beaten track railroads is just marvelous, one of the most picturesque, and entertaining that I have seen. High def video quality is excellent, and for the modest price, a real bargain, I hope to see more like this in the future.

5/5 Great Blu-ray Picture Quality

This is an extraordinarily great Blu-ray bargain for the price. This picture quality is very sharp, and I believe of Blu-ray reference quality. The cinematography is professionally done by a photographer who obviously loves his work. The quality lends itself to an almost 3-D feeling when watching the trains and scenery.

We see lots of steam trains including some on the Cumbres & Toltec and the Durango & Silverton in Colorado's San Juan mountains. There is also a section of breath-taking photography from the front of the engine (cab ride) on a spectacular mountain climbing railroad in Alaska and British Columbia.

3/5 I expected more.....
  by Sim (Seattle, USA)
I picked this up recently from a large warehouse based retailer [Cost**]. I have always loved Steam engines - the awe inspiring machine with a sound to match and a mighty thump which makes one's heart resonate. Since we no longer have these machines around I thought I will pick this Blu-Ray and relive some old memories and I was definitely not disappointed but not impressed either.

Pros:
- Great scenery
- Lots of different steam engines in all kind of terrains pulling different loads
- Price is competitive

Cons:
- Video quality is a big let down. (Blu-Ray element is missing, seems more like a DVD)
- Sound is passable but not great.
- Camera work seems amateurish. Camera occasionally shakes even thou the camera man is very far away from train, zoom in and zoom out is inconsistent (too fast) in some places.

Overall, you will like this if you keep your expectations in check.
Please understand that there is no narration of any kind just sound (and video) of Steam engines honking and running.
