Review of Grand Trunk Western - Vol. 1 Grand Trunk Action Across Michigan DVD

 4 of 5 (1)

See the Grand Trunk Western Railroad in their final decade with lots of exciting 1st and 2nd generation EMD diesel power. Volume One starts at Milwaukee Jct. in Detroit and shows you GT trains along their Holly, Mount Clemens, Flint and South Bend sub-divisions. The train action includes lots of auto-racks and hi-cube boxcars for the Michigan Automobile Industry. See the railroad Hot Spot of Durand, Michigan which includes interchanging traffic with the Central Michigan Railroad, plus the magnificent Durand Union Station along with several other historic depots and towers. There is also a segment on contemporary Grand Trunk Western steam with GTW #6325, a 4-8-4 Northern that's pulling a tourist train. The GT train action includes yard switching, locals, manifests and intermodals plus unit trains of coal and coke. Rail footage era 1989-1999 from the camera of Hal Pantti with additional footage by Brad Plets. Running Time: 115 Minutes Beautiful Color with Live Audio 4:3 Aspect
Overall rating for this DVD?	Excellent Very Good Good Fair Poor
The rest is optional but appreciated.
In your opinion, how was the narration level?	There was no narration. Just enough. Could have used more. A little too much. Way too much. Narration can be turned off.
Aside from the content of the DVD, how would you rate the image quality (sharpness, camera steadiness, etc)?	Poor. A little rough around the edges. Good. Excellent!
How would you rate the VALUE of this video?	Overpriced for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. Seemed a little high, but not too bad. Fair. Good value. Excellent value!
Last question. Would you recommend this DVD to others?	Definitely not! Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter. Yes Definitely. A "Must Have"!
