Very interesting and entertaining. Great history of our countrys entreprenureal spirit.
EXCELLENT history on a variety of train related events. Cheap enough too!
This is an outstanding collection of videos/movies of the history of American railroads and railroading that will keep anyone fascinated and entertained for hours. There are the interesting histories of so many of the popular and famous railroads some of us grew up with or learned about, and the story of how the railroads opened up our country. A great reference collection and addition to my video library.
I purchased this for a handicapped 10 yr old boy who loves trains. He is fascinated by this DVD. He watches avidly and then tells anyone who will listen all about the trains he saw.
