Hot Spots 20 Deshler

Producer: Highball

Location: Deshler

Timeframe: 2006

Length: 70 minutes

A visit to the railroad intersection at Deshler, Ohio. Both are CSX lines. East to West is the Chicago line. North South has Toledo to Cincinnati, Ohio. Tower now is used by Maintenance of Way.

A single DVD-R. Advertised as a widescreen show. Live environmental audio. Listed as narrated. It is not!

No menu. Push play only. No maps or any extras. Although there is a minute or two of narrative at the beginning, no other narration follows. The music is what was used on the old VHS title Yesterdays Santa Fe program.

This series from Highball has been less than impressive. Check this one out now.

To the Trains… 👉

Engine 165

CSX 165 leads off the show. Some foreign power is interspersed throughout. No train details are ever given.

9045

Engine 9045 passes the tower.

BNSF

BNSF passes the abandoned depot.

5366

CSX 5366 in dark blue paint on a Piggyback.

9992

CSX 9992 leads an unidentified passenger or executive special. Zero information is presented. Yawn…

A good visual scene of the crossing. No information. Spare me!

Hot Spots 20 Deshler

This show is extremely lame. Zero information within the show. It plays like the half-baked production it is.

Although the video and audio are good. Mega boring to sit through. Rates one star for the decent visuals. A needless release, as Deshler is better presented elsewhere. A waste of time. Straight to the junk heap.

Rating: 1 Star

A musician for many years. Guitar is my main instrument. Enjoy bass playing .Rock and Blues styles. However, Lead Vocals have been a Huge surprise!
The crowd loves my singing. I sound like; Joe Cocker, Greg Allman, with a bluesy tone. Nobody was more shocked than me. A late bloomer.

I love to have some laughs. People think that I am hilarious, and I remain clueless as to why... :)

I hope that everyone enjoys the material.
