All Aboard - Chama Turn


Title:
All Aboard - Chama Turn

Description:
Purchase at -- www.greenfrog.com Viewers will step back in time over 30 years to the closing days of the 3 foot narrow gauge operations of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. This film was shot by noted railroad photographer Emery Gulash in the area from Alamosa to Chama, NM.. Actual freight operations of the period feature double heading and the use of mid-train helpers. There are many scenes in the yards with engines being prepared for runs, as well as trains being assembled with their respective motive power needs. The running shots display the narrow gauge engines working hard in the spectacular mountain scenery for which the D&RG was so well known. This video is an incredible time capsule of working narrow gauge freight operations long past.
