British railways seem to be the focus here, though long scenes of longer trains without a bit of narration are shown throughout the entire program representing Japanese, German, French and American trains as well, and all are equally boring. This video chronicles the quest for speed beginning with the British train ‘Stephenson's Rocket,' burning track at a whopping 29.1 mph, and ending with the French train ‘Tres Grande Vitesse' clocking in at a zippy 320 mph. This is another catalog-type listing of dates and trains, without an ounce of drama. For die-hard-train fans only. An optional purchase. Aud: J, H, P. (N. Plympton)
