Review of Winter Thunder Western Maryland Railroad A Farewell to 734 DVD

 5 of 5 (1)

Winter Thunder Deep in Maryland's Allegheny Mountains, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad has been carrying on the tradition of old time steam railroading since the late 1980s. The railroad operates on a 17-mile segment of the former Western Maryland Railway. The line runs from Cumberland to Frostburg. Locomotive No. 734 is a 2-8-0 Consolidation. It was originally built for the Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railroad in Michigan. The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad restored 734 in 1992. Since then it has pulled thousands of tourists. The locomotive is nicknamed Mountain Thunder. It was announced that 734 would be removed from service indefinitely following the 2015 excursion season. The locomotive is due for a major federally mandated overhaul. No. 734 pulled one last winter photographer's freight train on January 11th, 2015. The special excursion ran over the entire railroad. In Winter Thunder our coverage begins in the railroad's yard in Ridgeley, West Vi
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.

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"!
