For us Aussies, a wonderful memory of our holiday ride to Durango and return way back in 2000. Awesome scenery and fabulous trains. Will never forget! Thanks for sharing this fabulous footage.

I lived in Albuquerque for about 7 years in the 1980's, and never knew this sonic railroad even existed! It was before the internet. I would have LOVED to have seen and ridden on it. Damn it!
