Editorial Review:
Description: In 1825, transportation was revolutionized by a clumsy little locomotive in England that chugged along at 12 miles per hour. Within a few years, train tracks crisscrossed the planet. Locomotion hurtles down a track of discovery to trace the impact of rail travel on society. It's an epic ride aboard the Iron Horse, with changeovers to the Twentieth Century Limited and Japan's Bullet Train.

Rating: -

a good well made movie for the older person

The second episode - on the strong British Isles contribution to this advance in technology was important, my perspective had been shaped by the American Steam experience. If you are into Steam and the Industrial Revolution - this is a 'must have' in your collection to share with your friends; or just to gain a more ... Read More
