Highball with a look back to Springfield Terminal. Operations on B&M Rails. Circa 1990-91.
Now, Highball has been a hit or miss label. How does this show work out?
A single DVD-R. No Chapter Menu. Full screen aspect ratio. Narrated by Peter Falconi.
Picture quality is AWFUL! A horizontal bar that displays the TOP of the picture, which runs across the bottom of the screen! Unbelievable. Makes this release UNWATCHABLE.
This error plays throughout the show on FULL RETARD. Where was the quality control?
In February 1991, a CP Rail 5684 SD40 leads a coal train at Manchester, NH. Check that sizeable horizontal error bar across the bottom of the screen. Notice the number boards at the bottom of the picture. Annoying!
Here a Guilford performs a trick. Travels below and above the Signal Bridge.
GP9 #16 pulls the same number board antics.
Well, now you can see for yourself. It is not a random fluke. Super distracting on a large screen HDTV.
Springfield Terminal
Right at the top of the list for some wasted shows.
This is NOT RECOMMENDED.
