In a word, BORING. Apparently Pentrex did not catch the repeated narration in chapter 8. I expect better from Pentrex. UP 844 New Mexico Arizona Centennial Special DVD Ron Harber (Strafford MO US) on 2019-08-16 14:42:32.

2011 was probably not the greatest excursion run. Could�ve been a little bit better than it would�ve been. UP 844 New Mexico Arizona Centennial Special DVD cr6610 (New Hampshire) on 2012-11-18 11:11:17.

A good show overall. Yes, there is one audio goof, but I watched the second time with narration turned off, so it wasn't an issue. Good coverage with some history and operational info thrown in, which makes it more interesting than the usual "here it comes...there it goes" flavor on some programs. Good image quality, looks like they sweated the details on the video anyway. UP 844 New Mexico Arizona Centennial Special DVD Dave Roxin (Balaton, MN) on 2012-05-16 13:44:10.

The picture seemed a little hazy to me but it could have been in the sky as I know up in the mts it is always hazy. Otherwise they did a very good job of making it more interesting that just watching runby after runby by doing other things and anouncing what they were showing you. With the ability to turn off the audio was great an no music to mask the natural sounds of the engine or whatever we were looking at.

I enjoyed this video. Lots of runbys of the Engine, clean HD Footage, and great audio. Despite the one audio glitch, it was a nice program. Hoping to possibly catch the engine in person one day. UP 844 New Mexico Arizona Centennial Special DVD Steamfan (Chicago) on 2016-01-13 05:10:09.
Good job overall. I wish there had been more information given about the locomotive itself rather than mini-travelogues about the states it was passing through. I bought the standard definition DVD, and later the Blu-ray. Both look very good indeed. UP 844 New Mexico Arizona Centennial Special DVD neeliec (Sierra Vista AZ) on 2013-06-19 12:27:35.
I was excited to find this video on eBay as we had a chance to drive to Benson AZ to see 844 up close in 2012. It was a great morning. But I was so disappointed that there was absolutely no coverage of the stop in Benson! There were hundreds of people that came out to see 844, and it's too bad that was not documented. I'm new to "train" videos, so perhaps my critique is off, but it would have been good to have a little more coverage of the stops the 844 made in this segment of the trip in 2012. I'm still glad I bought the video as seeing 844 in Benson was a highlight of the year for us. UP 844 New Mexico Arizona Centennial Special DVD tomss (Fairfield, Ca.) on 2012-05-16 11:18:55.

I've seen 844 a few times and chased it when it came to the Sacto Railfair. A good addition to the other dvd's and videos of great steam trains still alive. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
