Review of Extreme SP D-115 Charles Smiley Presents

 4.6 of 5 (5)
See SP "battle back to respectability" in the early 90's on the featured lines to the north and many other great locations. This video selected many choice scenes out of hundreds of hours of material to show a great variety of older power and scenic locations. Some of the material used is from film shot in the seventies to balance out the presentation This video has a parade of power with both old and new mixed with foreign power "smoking it up". The second half features many retired units, cabooses and many other surprises! Featuring: Modoc Line Shasta Line Donner Line Snow Fighting Cascade Line Trains Magazine Review The locations are well chosen and camera work is tack-sharp. This is an unusual and much appreciated level of information
