Here is a 2-DVD set that mixes “The Mother Road” with the railroads that wander through the southwest with Route 66. Elrond Lawrence’s book “Route 66 Railway” began this video journey to see what was left of Route 66’s artifacts. Disc 1 takes a look at California: BNSF over Cajon Pass, through Victorville to Barstow, and across the Mojave to Needles and the bridge at Topock. Disc 2 is Arizona: from Kingman Canyon to Flagstaff and on to Winslow and the NM border. You’ll see trains along with the neon, abandoned gas stations, tourist traps and restored depots of Route 66.

Part railfan video, part travelogue, part time machine … and all fun! The railroad locations have been featured in any number of videos … and make for some spectacular train watching in this program as well … but scenes of the remnants of Route 66 and the lively music give this video a very different feel. A nice, fresh approach to a familiar topic, and a great addition to any collection!

This video is good for railfans. The route is nothing new from past productions and other producers. There is some historical interest here. Having ssen seen other Highball productions on the Mojave/Arizona region there is not really to much to be added. I guess the biggest improvement is that it is a Blu-ray which gives a better quality look.
