Review of West Colton Yard & Vicinity

Union Pacific has taken over the Southern Pacific, but, in 1999, there is still plenty of SP flavor to this stronghold of the Southern Pacific. We'll look at West Colton Yard, PMT, Hunts Lane, old Colton and Colton Crossing.

We see various views of the yard and quite a bit of action, from power moves to helpers, doubles, arrivals, departures and runbys. We get trains coming off the ex-SP Sunset Route and the Palmdale Cutoff. Right after the merger, as this is, we see a lot of variety in motive power, from UP and SP to D&RGW, CNW, BNSF and Santa Fe.

Overall rating for this DVD? 5 Star Excellent
4 Star Very Good
3 Star Good
2 Star Fair
1 Star Poor
