This video was short, and much of the footage and interviews was recycled from the other RK publishing videos (Daylight, Zephyr, Super Chief). However it is a good documentary on dome cars.

Additional remarks by sp4460:
Narration: Just enough.
Would kids enjoy this? I doubt it.
Image quality: Good.
DVD Value: Seemed a little high, but not too bad.
Recommend to others? Yes.
