The Belt has a wide variety of well maintained classic power, including GP7, GP9, SW9, SW1200, SW1500, MP15, GP-38-2, ALCo C-424, S-6 and cow and calf lash-ups. We'll get to see all motive power classes and the majority of the roster in this video.

We'll visit the engine terminal and see repair work in the diesel house. We'll see a lot of foreign power too as the Belt services locomotives for it's co-owners. This program includes cab views and short cab rides in a S-6 and SW-1200.

If you are a fan of switching roads, belt lines, and terminal pikes as I am, this DVD of the Belt Railway of Chicago's motive power may be to your liking. Be aware that this is 1997 BRC, and it's all about their locomotives at that time rather than train run-bys. Each type of unit on their roster is shown and described, sometimes from the inside of the cab. This 79-minute DVD is a good one for the subject matter, but is not as sharp and properly exposed as I would like it.

Additional remarks by Great Lakes Railroader:
Narration: Just enough.
Would kids enjoy this? Maybe.
Image quality: A little rough around the edges.
DVD Value:: Fair.
Recommend to others? Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter.
