For those of us who are a long way from Arizona, we may think of Arizona as hot and dry, with few trees. So, this video shows us another side of the State that is not as well known --- the forested region of the State. Screen graphics give enough info, and we can enjoy the natural sounds. The power on the head end of the trains is modern, with plenty of the fallen flag paint schemes. Lots of long heavy trains through what I found to be a very beautiful area. Quite impressive overall. 4 stars for this great production.

This is the Seligman Sub on BNSF's former Santa Fe Transcon, running from Needles CA to Winslow AZ. It crosses some of the most rugged and attractive scenery in the southwest. This line hosts at least 70 trains a day, usually more.

The program starts at East Seligman then stops at Peach Springs, Hackberry, and Topock (instead of going right to the Topock bridge, the photographer sets up east of the bridge showing the bridge in the background – a much appreciated different view than most other videos provide of this location) in the first 20 minutes. A considerable amount of time is spent showing various photo angles in Kingman Canyon.

THE VOLUME IS UNUSUALLY HIGH FOR THIS DVD, so you might want to crank it down a bit from your normal listening level. Narration is minimal and sufficient. Location markers are displayed once for each location. Time stamp, train symbol, number of loads and empties, weight and length are shown for most trains. The photography is very good. There are several fast moving trains, and a lot of loud horns, so the kids might like this video.
