Product: Extreme Trains: The Complete Season One (2009)
Rating: 5.0
Extremely entertaining
This DVD is very well done and very informative. The host, Matt Bown, has been described as being overly enthusiastic and too simple. The producers realized that the audience's railroad education could range from knowing nothing to all knowing. I am the 3rd generation out of 4 in my family that has worked on a railroad. Though I am no longer working for a railroad I am still a locomotive engineer. If you want to learn about how the railroads built this country and how it continues to serve our country and the world and not be put to sleep by many of the train DVD's out there, this is the DVD set for you. Whatever the cost, it's worth it. There are 105 combined years of railroading in my family and still going. I own this and love it. Thank you History Channel and Matt Bown!!
