Review of Newfoundland Railway Canadian National Narrow Gauge DVD

 4 of 5 (1)

Until 1949, Newfoundland was a separate colony of Great Britain. In that year, it became a Canadian Province. As early as 1847, there were stirrings in St. Johns as to building a railroad, 547 miles westward across the island to Port aux Basque. By the 1880's, the Newfoundland Railway was in place, built to 42 inch narrow gauge. Standard gauge railcars came in interchange from North Sydney, NS, via ferry, to Port aux Basque. Narrow gauge trucks were exchanged to 42" gauge trucks. In 1969, the island became a Province of Canada and the Canadian National took over operations, under their subsidiary, Terra Transport. Mr. John Lewis traveled to the island to recoord on tape the operations of the line. A&R is proud to take you back to the final years of this fascinating piece of railroading history. 90 minutes - All color - Maps - Narration Copyright 2013 A&R Systems, Inc. A&R Productions
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"!
