FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW
“This film is outstanding, to say the least, the quality is quite exceptional and the content is unbelievable. As a narrow gauger for 40 years, I learned things from this film I never knew. I saw things I had never seen in books.”
Last Train from Alamosa
Last hurrah of Denver & Rio Grande. Passenger operations between Alamosa and Durango with engines roaring across the flats of the San Luis Valley, battling the 4% over Cumbres Pass, and winding through canyons all the way to Durango.
“After viewing your Rio Grande Southern, this fan thought he had died and gone to heaven.”
Otto Perry's Rio Grande Southern
The Rio Grande Southern was tracked for more than ten years across three of America's highest railroad passes by Otto Perry with his camera. See the line often referred to as the most spectacular piece of mountain railroading in North America.
“Just played ‘460 Narrow Gauge in Winter’ three times in a row. If anything could be perfect these tapes are. Just as advertised, they are a fairy tale come true.”
Silverton in Winter / Rotaries on Cumbres
A fairy tale come true as the mighty 480 class engines tackle a mantle of dazzling white. 481 digs in for a run over the high line and up the Animas Canyon to Teft Spur. In the heyday of the Cumbres line, the Rio Grande kept two rotaries ready on each side of the pass: OM the first narrow gauge rotary ever built, in Chama and OY, the last, in Antonito.
“The ‘Complete Silverton’ is just gorgeous. I’ve seen several spectacular films taken between Durango and Silverton, but yours, with the shots from the chopper and the speeders plus your superb editing, is far superior.”
The Complete Silverton
From the cab, the pilot, track speeders racing in front of the engine, the entire high line where the rails cling to the canyon walls, roundhouse and turntable. From Durango to Cascade Tank, almost the entire line with aerials and chase sequences.
