Trains of Southern New England 2006Connecticut, Rhode Island, and southern Massachusetts contain some fascinating railroading. Amtrak finally has all of its Acela trains in operation, and several small New England railroads are showing significant growth in their business. This program shows action on the regional railroads and most of the smaller railroads of southern New England in the spring of 2006. The railroads covered include Amtrak's Springfield Line and electrified Northeast Corridor, the Providence and Worcester, New England Central, Housatonic Railroad and a couple of shortlines. 109 minutes. The DVD on this program has the option of being watched with or without narration.

| The video itself was alright. As a resident of Connecticut I am familiar with all the local railroads in southern New England. A large section of the video was dedicated to the Providence & Worcester. I like the P&W, but I feel more time could have been spent highlighting other roads that operate here. Only small sections were devoted to the Housatonic, Bay Colony Railroad and Mass Central. The New England Central did not even receive a lot of attention. Some railroads were left out entirely, such as Pan Am Railways, formerly Guilford, that operates several miles of track in central CT (although Pan Am train EDPL was shown on the Springfield Line) and the famed Essex Steam Train that operates with 2-8-0 and 2-8-2 steam engines to haul tourist trains. Overall I give it a seven out of ten because the footage included was not that bad. Oh, make sure you shut the narration off before watching the video! The narrator is very talkative and will speak continuously through the entire length of the trains. |
