Twilight of the Rio Grande Narrow Gauge

Description:
Purchase at -- www.greenfrog.com In the late 1960's, Emery Gulash, past president of Star Models and avid photographer, set out to record on film the passing of the Rio Grande's freight operations. With a 16mm Bolex camera and tripod, Emery was able to produce spectacular full-color history of one of the most famous narrow gauge operations in the U.S. The photography of Emery Gulash is unsurpassed for its clarity, creative composition and brilliant color. Coverage includes single and double headed operations between Alamosa and Silverton, including Antonito, Cumbres, Chama and Durango. Also included are many rare shots of Pagosa Springs and the Farmington branch.
