...the desert can be a great place to get away from our busy lives, sit by the tracks, and watch trains go by. In the 1980s, a great place to do this was along the mainline of the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad. One could see freight trains racing at speeds of 70 miles per hour. Can Streamlines' Green River route recreate this thrill? We'll find out in this review...at the railyard!

Using U2 in the intro really set a good tone for this one, Nick. I always love your musical choices for these reviews.

The ending song was just about perfect for this review. Another excellent review, Nick.
Nick, you have to read Noisemaker's comments about Mixcraft and the "Surfliner Two" rap in the Surfliner 2 review thread. Steven can be hilarious when he wants to.

I said 'Rihanna' Dustin - Not Rio Grande-a! :sorry:
Always stunning reviews Nick! Your camera moves and editing just floor me. And the soundtracks as well. Made the comment elsewhere this is a score P.T. Anderson or Alex Cox would've loved to have used.
Was really hoping Streamlines would have thrown in the rare 'Ski Train' for poops and giggles. I'm getting so obsessed with getting a complete CN Tempo Train, I'm just going to start kidnapping and holding developers hostage till one of them makes it for me. Worked for Kim Jong Il. :)
