Anyone else order a DVD copy of the 20th Century Limited documentary?
It has forever been my favorite train and I was very excited to see that it was available. I have seen many compilations of old train films, old news footage, and old promotional film but I can't ever recal a real history type documentary being available on a specific name train. I have included a picture of the DVD cover for reference.

That excellent doc was shown on PBS and was produced by TRAINS magazine and narrated by actor Michael Gross (Family Ties), himself a model railroader and a Santa Fe fan!

Have they made any other documentary films about famous name trains? I would love to find one on the Empire Builder and the Super Chief.

In fact, Michael Gross hosted ones on the Daylight and Super Chief! Both were excellent, having vintage film, interviews with employees and historians, and pretty complete in info (right down to mentioning the signature food that was served in the dining cars!)
I think the Super Chief one is subtitled "Speed, Style, Service", and is fantastic. I think I ended up purchasing it via Amazon online to watch as much as I want!
