Flanger Cab Ride DVD

Only 5 left in stock!

The Sierra Nevada is hit hard by fierce Winter storms dumping up to 35 feet of snow each Winter season. Storms on the summit can be treacherous and can take even the most experienced and prepared travelers by surprise.

One of the most daunting tasks for the railroad is keeping the tracks clear of snow and ice.

Dispatched at any time, day or night, Flanger trains are called to duty when storms produce a depth of snow six inches or more above the rail. Flanger operations require skilled and experienced operators who know this mountainous territory well. Operations work around the clock until the storm subsides.

See first hand, unprecedented footage as we climb aboard the lead unit of a Flanger train in operation, and make a flip from Truckee to Emigrant Gap and back clearing the snow for mainline rail traffic!

First class production however as a person who lives in the UK I wish that you had included some of the communication between the crew & control viewed from inside the locomotive cab. I will never be in a position to see the rail network outside the UK thereby enabling the crew time to enhance the production by relating there personal experiences of Flanger operations would compliment this and future productions.

Additional remarks by The Dodger:
Narration: Could have used more.
Would kids enjoy this? Maybe.
Image quality: Excellent!
DVD Value:: Fair.
Recommend to others? Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter.

I'm really into snow plows, so this was very interesting to me. I would rather watch a snow plow however, but this was an interesting related subject with lesser amounts of snow to remove. Quality of picture was fine, as was the overall layout of the video.

Image quality: Excellent!
DVD Value: Good Value
