Southern
Pacific Narrow Gauge East of the Sierra - Video
The Carson & Colorado
A superb evocation of the fabled Southern
Pacific Narrow Gauge line that ran in the Owens Valley of
California. Both Wilbur Whittaker and Mac Owen combined their
talents to bring you this famous line. In 1880 the buccaneers
of the Comstock Lode pushed a narrow gauge line into the mineral
laden areas of central Nevada from their standard gauge Virginia
and Truckee Railroad. Perhaps not as colorful and never as
rich, the Carson and Colorado held perhaps greater intrigue.
For 300 lonely miles it stretched south across the deserts.
Seeking the end of the rainbow in California, it climbed higher
than Donner Pass itself, more than 7000 feet above the desert
floor and tunneled under the summit of Montgomery Pass. It
then went skating down 3.2% grades into the Owens valley and
came to rest in the waiting arms of the Southern Pacific at
Owenyo. The tracks across the high mountains were abandoned
in 1938. This tape will show you the entire length of the
line that survived from then until the ultimate abandonment
in 1960. It paces freights from Owenyo (Lone Pine) both South
to Keeler and North to Laws (Bishop). The mighty Sierras tower
almost two vertical miles into a crystal blue as the diminutive
trains chuff softly out of Owenyo in late Fall.. Stations,
bridges, water tanks, transfer docks and turntables en route
are brilliantly lit against the highest mountain peaks in
all America, already white with the First of winter. Glorious
color 20 minutes.

Otto
Perry's Rio Grande Articulateds, Parts I &II. Part I - La
Veta Pass & The Moffat Line - Video
Starts on a beautiful November day from
La Veta aboard the daily passenger and climbs grades of 3-1/4%
into a blizzard on top. It descends into brilliant sunshine
and is paced along the crystalline white of the Sangre de
Cristo Range to Alamosa. 3400 class mallets. All Color. The
Moffat Line shows D&SL Mallets and every class of D&RG articulated
thru the 3800s working up hill, but concentrates on the 3600,
the world's largest and most powerful locomotive when it was
built. Shows opening of the Dotsero Cut Off, freights across
the Colorado Desert and glimpses of Soldier Summit. Ends with
the final days of articulated steam as 3 3600s per train blast
away at the 2% from Tabernash to the tunnel. Has the Fire
Clay run away. Part II - The Joint Line, The Royal Gorge &
Tennessee Pass. Follows almost every class of articulated
south from Denver as they surmount the 52 miles of unrelieved
1.42% grade to Palmer Lake. Views The Royal Gorge from Cliff
Tops above and at river level below. Breathtaking panoramas
of the Arkansas Valley, walled by the highest peaks in North
America, follow as the 3600s work their way up a steady 1.50%
to the 10,200-foot summit of Tennessee Pass. The big show
begins when the direction is reversed at Minturn, the bottom
of the eastbound 21 mile 2-1/2 to 3-1/4% grade. From there
the camera follows freight and passenger back to the same
summit - a rise of some 2400 feet. Has landslides in the Royal
Gorge and the boiler explosion at Louviers. Some black and
white. No super 8. No talking heads. Both RGA-1 and RGA-11

Rio
Grande of the Rockies - Video & DVD
From the Irving E.
August 16mm Film Collection of the Rocky Mountain Railroad
Club
In the mid-50s motive power on the Denver
& Rio Grande Western was a fascinating mixture of huge standard
gauge steam engines, first generation diesels and narrow gauge
steam engines ... some built before the turn of the century!
Standard Gauge Rio Grande 3600 2-8-8-2's blast up Tennessee
Pass, while on the grade up to Moffat Tunnel, first generation
F-9's are assisted by 2-8-8-2's. There is also a run-by of
the California Zephyr with PA power. Narrow Gauge operations
include long two-engine gondola trains on the Monarch Branch
with its unique switchback. At Durango, you'll see K-27 #453,
K-28 #473 in yellow paint scheme and K37 #497. The "Silverton
Mixed" pulled by 478 leaves with 3 coaches, caboose and business
cars B-2 and B-7 ... still in Pullman Green paint. 2-8-0 #318
makes a run-by with a freight train south of Montrose. There's
an historic sequence at Gunnison of 2-8-0 #268 just in from
the last run on the Sapinero Branch. K-36 2-8-2 #487 plows
through deep snow on a flanger-ore train from Gunnison to
Crested Butte. Then you're on board the last train over Marshall
Pass with 2-8-2's 483 and 489. An authentic hi-fi sync soundtrack
has been added and Irv August himself tells the story. This
one hour program (standard gauge-24 min., narrow gauge-36
min.) is yours now to enjoy as often as you wish on high quality
videocassette.

Rio
Grande Southern - Video
From Sunday River
Rio Grande Southern 90 min. version.
A new 90-minute version of the Rio Grande Southern, the famous
two-hour tape made from Otto Perry's films in 1988. Every
single one of the hundreds of run pasts has been preserved
in their entirety. Stills, foliage, narrative and static scenes
have been shortened. Narrated by the men and women who worked
for, rode on and dedicated their lives to maintaining this
important link thru a chaos of 13,000' mountain peaks. It
stretched 4% grades to the fabled cities of gold and silver:
Telluride, Rico and Ophir. At Placerville it loaded more cattle
than any other online Rio Grande station. It carried more
happy sightseers thru the golden aspens of autumn aboard its
famed Galloping Geese than a years worth of regular passengers.
In war it hid the ingredients of the atomic bomb - an ore
so heavy it was seldom noticed between the doors of the freight
cars. For many, particularly in winter, it was the only way
across the mountains to civilization.

Prepare for a journey to a time when
the ultimate in steam power stormed westward out of Cheyenne,
Wyoming bound for Sherman Hill! Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big
Boys were the largest steam locomotives ever built and you'll
see them in regular service as they pound up to the summit
of Sherman. Challenger 3959 puts on a grand show as we pace
the sister engine of Union Pacific's present day excursion
engine 3985. Then trackside, watch her drivers slip as the
giant 46-6-4 slowly moves by. The huge 3- cylinder 4-12-2-
9000's are there, along with the 48-4 800's, sister engineers
of another famous excursion steamer of today ... 8444. First
generation E8's lead the Union Pacific's "City of Los Angeles,"
"City of San Francisco" and the "Overland Limited" over Sherman
but sometimes with steam helpers! The unusual veranda turbine
puts in an appearance and then take a tour of the Cheyenne
Yard in 1954 with an obvious abundance of steam. This steam
classic will be a favorite in your Railroad Video Library.
