Review of DM&E Dakota Minnesota and Eastern Railroad DVD Vol 1

 4.5 of 5 (2)

In Volume 1 of our coverage of the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern, videographer Mike Savona follows the railroad's mainline from Winona, Minnesota to Waseca,Minnesota, with the DM&E's operations from Owatonna, Minnesota to Mason City, Iowa, over IC&E rails, also included. We follow the tracks as they climb out of the scenic Mississippi River Valley, across the beautiful rolling hills of southeastern Minnesota, through the Zumbro River Valley around Rochester, and finally, we view trains as they traverse the open countryside of southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. Locomotives from DM&E, IC&E, CP, and even a St. Lawrence & Hudson outcast, are all seen in operation. Sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of DM&E trains pounding along classic jointed rail, with the railroad's EMD workhorses doing what they do best. Today's DM&E is a far cry from the railroad that existed just ten years ago, as many extensive track rehabilitation projects, the purchase of the I&M Rail Link, and the takeover

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"!
