Southern Pacific Double Feature with Bonus Cab Ride DVD
 3.5 of 5 (2)
Three features, two main films, on the ICTF and West Colton Yard, and the bonus cab ride, give us an insider's view of the Southern Pacific. See what the brand new Los Angeles ICTF is all about, and what it means for the SP. In its opening year the ICTF (Intermodal Container Transfer Facility) handled 350,000 containers.And then we go to SP's West Colton Yard. This classification yard is 6 miles long, with 100 miles of track inside the 550 acres of yard. This show features the construction to operation of this massive yard.BONUS: Hop in the cab as we work the ICTF to Dolores Yard run in 1991. Another great look behind the scenes of the gone, but not forgotten, Southern Pacific.

On!y rate this DVD as fair! Picture is fuzzie, not the Pentrex quality. Had the DVD on tape, was better!
Additional remarks by Gary Farkas:
Narration: Just enough.
Would kids enjoy this? I doubt it.
Image quality: A little rough around the edges.
DVD Value: Overpriced for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it.
Recommend to others? Not unless they REALLY were interested in the subject matter.

Originally released by Video Rails in 1994, this program features modern era training programs before that fallen flag railroad was purchased by Union Pacific in 1996. With a great variety of yard work, & a tour of how the SP operates freight trains, this is a great companion to another pentrex title: Workin’ on the Southern pacific.
Additional remarks by Steamboy:
Narration: Just enough.

Image quality: Good.
DVD Value: Good Value
Recommend to others? Definitely.
