America By Rail - Scenic Train Travel Guide & Tips for Exploring the USA by Train | Perfect for Cross-Country Adventures & Family Vacations

This collection is an excellent set of rail journeys that are highly entertaining and informative. The set is a nice mix of four different routes that showcase our beautiful country. What I love about the set is the nice mix of scenery (you feel like you are actually on the train), music and minimal narration that allows the viewer to really enjoy the trips. Various camera angles include views from the passenger, cabin and exterior track side shots that give a variety of coverage sure to please rail fans. A wide variety of trains are featured, from restored antiques to modern trains. The set includes:Colorado's Scenic Train Rides - My personal favorite. This disc alone makes the entire set worthwhile. 14 separate train routes are featured including the Pikes Peak Cog Railroad, the Royal Gorge and the Cumbres & Toltec steam railroad run by the states of Colorado and New Mexico. The scenery is stunning and many trips are not known to many travelers. I watch this one frequently.America by Rail:Route of the Southwest Chief: - Another personal favorite, this route runs from Chicago to Los Angeles with wonderful side trips in between. The camera work is stunning on this route, as you really feel you are traveling the route, showcasing beautiful wild country in many places only seen by rail.America by Rail:Winter Wonderland - This is a rare winter route from Chicago to Washington DC. Again, beautiful scenery, snow covered plains and gorges making you feel as if you are there.All Aboard the Potomac Eagle - A special scenic route following alongside the Potomac River through the gorge called the Trough. The beauty of this region is available only by canoe or train. The ride is a delight.Train rides are all about enjoying the journey, taking time to savor the views and enjoying the beauty of our great nation. This set makes you feel like you have been there. This set is a fine addition to any collection, whether you are a train buff or want to see what a rail journey would be like.
