If you ve ever wondered what it would be like to step back to the early 1990s to experience a cab ride on one of Amtrak'sfastest trains, this is your golden opportunity! Pentrex takes you into the cab of an AEM7 for a high-speed ride at the head of Metroliner Train 110 from Washington D.C. to Philadelphia along the electrified, heavily trafficked south end of Amtrak'sNortheast Corridor.

The big picture windows of locomotive number 911 give you a clear view of what it'slike to meet trains at full throttle. With both trains doing 125 mph, the closing speeds are a thrilling 250 mph! Amtrak'sconstant maintenance and its manicured roadbed result in a smooth ride for the AEM7. You ll be amazed as the Metroliner rolls through a high-speed turnout at almost 70 mph.

Produced with Amtrak'scooperation in 1992, this video was released originally in VHS as part of a 3-volume tour of Amtrak'spride and joy, the Northeast Corridor. Now all the excitement of a high-speed cab ride can be yours to enjoy through the enhanced viewing benefits of DVD. Take home Amtrak'sNortheast Corridor Cab Ride today!

This is well balanced format and a credit to the production team. Sorry to say that the re-mastering from VHS to DVD leaves a lot to be desired. However having said that after watching the DVD was it well worth the purchase.

Additional remarks by The Dodger:
Narration: There was no narration.
Would kids enjoy this? I doubt it.
Image quality: A little rough around the edges.
DVD Value:: Fair.
Recommend to others? Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter.

I give this DVD an 8 out of 10. What kept it from perfection was 2 things. 1- I didn't like 2 spots where they decided to look around the interior of the cab. They chose to do this shortly after passing the BWI station and just before entering Baltimore Penn Station from the westside of Baltimore. I was hoping to see what Baltimore looked like as the cab approached these areas......me being a Baltimore native who use to live in that part of town. 2- They also chose to revisit the cab interior just after coming out of the tunnel after departing Balt Penn Station. Once again, I was raised on this part of town, the eastside and was hoping to get a glimpse of what it looked like from the cab. Overall, I love the DVD....well worth the money.

Additional remarks by Lawrence Johnson:
Narration: Just enough.
Would kids enjoy this? I doubt it.
Image quality: Excellent!
DVD Value: Excellent Value!

Overall, this is a good video with nice shots of the tracks between D.C. and Philadelphia. However, too much time was spent showing the engineer, who is smoking, eating, or just looking out the window. Those parts should definitely be edited out.

Additional remarks by Philly Rail Fan:
Narration CAN be turned off in special features.
Would kids enjoy this? Maybe.
Image quality: Good.
DVD Value:: Fair.
Recommend to others? Yes.

I guess this would be for the hard core enthusiast, its Amtrak, the NE Corridor and it all happens in the cab of an AEM7... I thought it was a "must have".

This is a well done program. As it is a cab ride on the NE corridor, it can get boring. If you like cab rides, which I do, it should be in your library.
