Denver & Rio Grande Western
Denver & Rio Grande Western The Denver & Rio Grande Western means rugged, spectacular mountain railroading, heavy freight hauling, and terrific action shots. That was especially true in 1986 when this show was originally filmed. At that time, the railroad was still an independent entity and most of its trains were pulled by pure sets of Rio Grande power, many with cabooses. Units from Burlington Northern, Southern Pacific, and Missouri Pacific could also be seen with run-through trains. This ...
Durango & Silverton / Denver and Rio Grande K-28 #473 Winter Freight - footage from Canon 5D Mk. II
Be sure to click the HD button! First day of our private winter freight charter was high overcast and the engine had a steam leak - perfect time to shoot video instead of stills. Here's some test footage using the Canon 5D Mk. II in video mode. I did not have a video tripod so the pan at the end is slightly shaky, as I am rotating the camera on the ball head of the still tripod. But the footage quality overall is fantastic, and it's a good backup to a real video camera. It doesn't quite have ...
