1:10 WOW!!! It's really cool to see dual gauge track on a "mainline" in America. I wish they had turned their entire narrow gauge network into a heritage line, instead of preserving bits and pieces of it.

Can you imagine going all the way from Alamosa to Silverton?

Thank you for the upload.
I really enjoyed the video.
I love steam locomotives and especially footage I have never seen before.
You put a lot of effort and time into this video.
Remarkable clarity for that time era.
I definitely give this video 5 thumbs up.

2:48 Talk about a rare shot, probably the first time i've ever seen a freight train comprised of both Narrow AND Standard Gauge rolling stock.

[@rockguitarist931]

That was common practice in Newfoundland. Look up the narrow gauge railroad they had until CN tore it out in 1988.

3:30 what was the pace car being used?

[@kadenrobinson7067]

Is this one when the cumbres and Toltec and the Durango & Silverton were connected

[@Buynot]

Yes. This footage was taken prior to the abandonment of the narrow gauge right of way in the early 1970s.

Bom comentário

[@HinckleyBranchRailfan]

And is the sound just sound effects or was it really the locomotives in the video?

[@GreenFrogVideos]

This was dubbed in (sound FX) from the Green Frog Sound Library!
