WOW! What an amazing DVD this is! I have never been a big fan of steam locomotives but, this DVD footage of the Big Boys has definitely changed my views on the old steam locomotives. As a railfan and model railroader, I now plan to add steam locomotives to my roster just because of this video. I'm not saying I don't like the old steam locomotives, I've just always been a diesel locomotive nut when it comes to railfanning but, wow this video has definitely given me a whole new outlook at steam railroading all together!
As for the DVD itself? This is an awesome value and I highly recommend this DVD if you're a serious railfan. The footage is old and much of it is done in B&W however, they have remastered the video really well and much of this footage has never been seen before. I would definitely call this video a "Must Have" and one you definitely want in your collection. The fact that I purchased it on sale, well that made the whole thing that much more awesome!
I highly recommend Train Video Depot also as your main source for railroad videos and no that's not a paid endorsement, lol. Thanks Sam for all you do for us railfans! Leo Younglowe (Leo Younglowe) on 2010-09-30 14:22:54.

I knew a lot about the Big Boys of the Union Pacific but I still enjoyed it any thing about trains and its got my interest this is a tape or DVD for everyone one. Train Lover's Daughter on 2010-02-02 14:14:44.
People who found this review helpful: 2 My Dad went crazy over this DVD! He remembered seeing the Big Boys back in the '40's after the war, also the one on the bluff next to I-80 approaching Omaha, just past the Missouri river. This brought back memories for him. Guy Cole on 2007-08-31 14:48:41.
People who found this review helpful: 2 This is an impressive video. I have watched it twice in the last 24 hours and am quite pleased w/the contents.
The camera work is quite good and there are not many recycled shots (lots of fresh material). The train audio is also quite good, and the narration is basic and factual.
The DVD has an option which I want to encourage: "no narration" - I realize there are only so many ways to describe a run by and I would rather hear the train. This is a great idea and I hope it becomes a common feature. Mr. "K" (Alaska) on 2013-03-02 18:10:57.

Growing up and Living in the southeast, we mostly road the "City of Memphis," steam engines to the little town of Bruceton, TN and a little 2-6-2 I believe from there to Union City, Tn, I was only about six years old. I never saw or knew about the big boys...So you can imagine how blown away I was once seeing the J1's & Challengers on film, I couldn't get enough of them...

If you're a diehard Big Boy fan, this is definitely a "must have", since it shows footage of every Big Boy ever made. The more casual fan, anyone who just likes watching big steam locos in action, will still find it entertaining. Ralph (Jamestown, NY) on 2011-06-02 09:21:43.
People who found this review helpful: 1 Great historical information. I bought the MTH Premier model train that has the impressive detail of the Full size. Just the length if engine and tender is 34" using a 84" curve. For model trains that is HUGE Will be visiting one of the museum this summer. Also your Donner Pass DVD is a great deal and very interesting also. 3 hours and 17 minutes goes fast. My friend has that DVD. Great winter shots, not so great in real life.

I plan on buying the MTH premier train. The locomotive and tender is 34" long. This is a must for collectors of model trains. Robbo (Australia) on 2010-09-04 17:13:29.

As a former Green Diamond Yrd Clerk, 1942 to 1957, I enjoyed it immensely ...I had seen a Big Boy at the 1949 Chicago Railroad Fair and was impressed...I showed it to some non-railroad friends and they thought it was great. Craig La Frenier'e on 2010-02-17 13:09:47.
