    If you are a Cab Ride fan….. buy it. It is a decent video for those interested in the topic. Because it is a cab ride on a scheduled train, not much can be done about things like the position of the sun, or any other weather conditions. If purchasing when on special, it is worth the cost, but not if purchasing at full cost.

    What a great Dvd. The scenery is just breath taking. Shot during 2 crew changes, which was very interesting. Disc 3 was facing the sun until you arrive in Winslow. Great Dvd for the price.

    This was shot during two trips, so the crew and equipment change, which makes for a more interesting trip. The first 2 parts were shot in March of 1999 as the Chief was running late and the videographer’s camera battery was dying so they had to stop filming at canyon Diablo. Disc 3-5 was shot in February of 2000. If you like cab rides, it is an interesting tip!

    I Really Enjoyed it However Disc 3 From Canyon Diablo your facing the sunrise until Winslow so you don’t see much till after that other wise its worth the 7 Hours and Price
