Good Titles Here? I see a couple of those I like. I don't really have any experience with train DVDs. Does anyone have an opinion on which ones might be good? BTW, I can't play my VHS anymore, you know. That happens when you go really modern.
I bought two. One title offered was Emperer of the North, which I was surprised they carried. I really enjoy their DVDs. Most of mine are the ones that deal with the American southwest roads and regions, and I bought the Alco series because I like the old beasts. The dozen I have seem pretty well done. They do this sale every year, I think.
Flash, I have a bunch of Pentrex DVD's. All are first class. The Mexico Pacifico DVD was first released on VHS in 1992. It is really neat to see how railroading was / is in Mexico. Hopefully, Pentrex will put the rest of the Mexico series on DVD. Pentrex does a sale every year but this is the best one yet. Take advantage if you can.

I have that on VHS- if you don't like beaucoup trains, don't bother buying This was shot before the new trackwork on the Marysville Sub, which changed things at Gibbon Jct. somewhat. Still, an awful lot of trains, and well worth the money spent. Hate Borgrail all you want, but as far as frequency, UP can put on a show on their Overland Route. Friscobob gives this two thumbs up:thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:
SANTA FE'S MOJAVE MAINLINE! NOW ON DVD! JUST $19.95 UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY, 3/20/07! SANTA FE'S MOJAVE MAINLINE In 1992, Santa Fe was sending train after train across California's Mojave Desert, making the Needles Subdivision one of the busiest lines in the nation. Running between Needles and Barstow, this rugged stretch was an essential link in the railroad's cross-country mainline. It also traversed some of the most barren desert scenery where stark vistas framed by eroded mountains created dramatic settings for high-powered trains. Severe weather conditions put men and equipment to the test on the Mojave main. Pentrex takes you back to 1992 to witness the struggle as Santa Fe sends its trains over this remote dessert crossing. From Needles, we head west passing Java, Homer, Goffs, Essex, Cadiz, Amboy, Bagdad, Siberia, Ash Hill, Ludlow, and Daggett to reach Barstow. The long grades of the area's hills force the engines to work hard. Overlooking Ash Hill, we stop at a vantage point to watch heavy loads straining over the grade. The variety of motive power spotted along our journey is fascinating and includes SD45-2s, SDF40-2, SD45s, GP60, GP40X, SD40-2s, FP45s, GP60Ms, GE B40-8s and B40-8Ws. As the newer locomotives flash past our camera on the flatlands, red and silver Warbonnet paint appears to leave brilliant streaks of color in the air. Pure sets of power in classic yellow-and-blue paint stand out handsomely against the rough countryside. Our tour includes video graphics to help identify the different photo locations throughout this presentation. It's a view of Santa Fe railroading at its finest! 1 Hour 15 Minutes.

Cab Forwards - New DVD! Three Years in the Making! The Most Comprehensive Coverage of Cab Forwards Ever Assembled! In Stock and Ready to Ship! In the tradition of excellence seen in "Union Pacific Big Boy Collection" and "Union Pacific Streamliner Collection" comes this brand-new production -- SOUTHERN PACIFIC CAB FORWARD COLLECTION The Complete Story of Southern Pacific's Mighty 4-8-8-4 Articulated Locomotives! For nearly 47 years, the Southern Pacific Railroad relied upon its massive AC-type steam locomotives to haul freight and passenger trains throughout California and neighboring states. Built to provide the power and flexibility demanded by the mountainous passes they traversed, these giants were constructed with their cab in front of the boiler, thus earning them the name Cab Forwards. The last Cab Forward revenue train ran in 1956, after which all but one were scrapped. From then on, film coverage of these AC-class engines was eagerly sought, hard to locate, and highly prized. Now, after years of research, Pentrex has assembled an awesome collection of footage and still images of Southern Pacific AC-1s through AC-12s spanning the years 1927 to 1956. You'll see Cab Forwards in service on the Overland Route, the San Joaquin Line, the Sunset Route, the Coast Route, the Shasta Route, and the Modoc Line. You'll thrill to incredible images of Cab Forwards in the snow, on grades, bridges, and scenic valleys; running with mid-train and rear-end helpers; teamed with Black Widow F-units and GS-class helpers; and in meets with other CF's. The locomotives shown include nearly every class of Articulated Consolidation SP rostered: the Baldwin-built Cab Forwards and the Lima-built 3900 class AC-9s. Historic stills of the original cab forwards, the Baldwin-built MC, MM, and AM class engines, are also featured. Plus, author Dr. Bob Church and photographer Stan Kistler provide insightful insiders' views. This is the most comprehensive record of the legendary Cab Forwards ever presented on film and it belongs in every railfan's collection! 1 Hour 30 Minutes Plus 15 Minutes Bonus Footage!

BRAND NEW DVD! "SOUTHERN PACIFIC CAB FORWARD COLLECTION" -- WE'RE ALREADY HEARING BACK FROM VERY HAPPY CUSTOMERS WHO ARE THRILLED WITH IT! It's only been out a week but the praise is rolling in! "ONE OF THE BEST PROGRAMS ON THE SUBJECT!" "GREAT COMMENTARY!" "UP TO YOUR USUAL HIGH STANDARDS. EXCELLENT JOB!" "THANKS, PENTREX!" Here's a question we've been asked about the SP Cab Forward Collection: "IS IT MOSTLY FOOTAGE FROM OTHER SHOWS?" The answer is No! The majority of footage has not been picked up from other Pentrex videos. You may see some familiar scenes if you already own every Pentrex DVD that includes shots of Cab Forwards but the majority is new, never-before-seen images for you to enjoy. We spent years looking for new material for this show in an effort to product the most comprehensive collection possible. Another question is: "WHAT'S IN THE BONUS FOOTAGE?" The highlight of the 15-minute bonus footage is wonderful coverage of #4294 being moved into the California State Railroad Museum in 1981. You'll also get more insider details about such subjects as why Cab Forwards were not seen doubleheading freight trains on certain routes, new paint versus steam cleaning, and other interesting tidbits of information.

BRAND NEW DVD - $19.95 SALE! "NORTHWEST DOUBLEHEADER STEAM" YES! THIS IS THE STEAM EXCURSION YOU ASKED US TO FILM...AND WE DID! ORDER YOUR COPY AT THE PRE-RELEASE PRICE OF $19.95 AND SAVE 33%! WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A PREVIEW OF THIS NEW SHOW? Simply click on this link to see the Northwest Doubleheader Steam Preview! http://www.pentrex.com/tacdvdvidmov.html ============================================================= NORTHWEST DOUBLEHEADER STEAM On May 18 and 19, 2007, the Union Pacific 844 and Southern Pacific 4449 steam locomotives made history by doubleheading for the first time ever between Tacoma and Everett, Washington. Pentrex was on hand to capture the excitement created by a private excursion to and from Tacoma and Everett on Friday as well as Saturday's round-trip public excursion, the "Puget Sound Steam Special." We also followed the engines on their doubleheaded return from Tacoma to Portland and chased the UP 844 on its way back home through the Columbia River Gorge and over the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon. These powerful Northern-type locomotives switched point position at Everett on both days of the Tacoma-Everett runs. You'll have ample opportunity to see engine looking great at the head of the train. Cool, overcast weather only served to make their billowing clouds of steam and smoke even more dramatic! The spectacular scenery along the Puget Sound created a perfect backdrop for great steam action. You'll see the locomotives thundering across Salmon Bay Bridge, rolling through Sunnyside Beach and Harbor View Parks, and racing along the flowing curves of the Sound. Doubleheaded steam with two of the country's most popular locomotives in one of the nation's most beautiful sites just can't be beat! The line between Tacoma and Everett is a busy doubletrack mainline owned by BNSF with UP trackage rights. This allowed us to see plenty of freight action there as well as on the trip from Tacoma to Portland and through the Columbia River Gorge. As a special treat we're including almost one hour of bonus footage featuring exciting mainline action! Approximately 1 Hour 50 Minutes. Product Code: #TAC-DVD. Regular Price: $29.95.

NEW ON DVD! ON SALE NOW FOR JUST $9.95! SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S IMPERIAL VALLEY SUGAR BEET TRAINS THIS IS A LIMITED-TIME SPECIAL - ORDER NOW TO GET THE $9.95 PRICE! ! ============================================================= IMPERIAL VALLEY SUGAR BEET TRAINS Video Rails was on hand to capture Southern Pacific's last sugar beet train from the Imperial Valley to the mill near Guadalupe, California so it could record the ending of an era and now this incredible story is available to you on DVD! Our journey begins in the lush farmlands of the Imperial Valley, 420 rail miles away from the Holly Sugar Mill at Betteravia. There you'll watch as sugar beets are harvested, transported to receiving stations, and then loaded into the wooden gondolas, with their friction bearing axles, that made SP's unit beet trains so unique. The loaded trains of up to 100 steel and wooden cars hauling 10,000 tons of sugar beets depart El Centro, heading toward Taylor Junction in L.A. and along the Coast Line to their destination in the Santa Maria Valley. Helper units are often added for the push over Beaumont Hill, as you'll see on several of the trains. At Taylor Junction, we're invited into the cab of SD40 7349 on the point of a 3-unit lash-up that includes two SD45s. The cab ride to Guadalupe features tunnels, cuts, and blue Pacific Ocean views as well as meets and passes with intermodal hotshots and Amtrak trains. At the interchange yard in Guadalupe, the Santa Maria Valley Railroad's new GP-9 arrives to transfer the gondolas to the Holly Sugar Mill. Then we're treated to a complete tour of the refining process, from unloading to washing, pulping, purifying, drying, and bagging the granulated sugar. This is one of the most interesting railroading stories ever shown! 1 Hour. Product Code: #VR074-DVD. Regular Price: $29.95. Sale Price: $9.95!
