Tour of CSX Volume 2
Fast paced show. The flatland lead to ground level views. Good framing of the action. Norfolk Southern trains appear frequently. Leased, run through, and the assorted foreign power add variety.
Colors are accurate. Imagery is clear. Soundtrack is lively live audio. Good levels. Concise narration. Nicely done release.
