Title:
Seen on the D&RG, 1966
Description:
I celebrated my college graduation in May 1966 on the Illini Railroad Clubs annual Colorado Narrow Gauge Excursion. The trip left Chicago behind CB&Q Mike #4960 to Galesburg. Diesel power from there to Denver, through the Moffat Tunnel, over Tennessee Pass, through the Royal Gorge, down to Walsenburg, and over LaVeta Pass to Alamosa where we transferred to the narrow gauge for the trip to Durango with side trips to Farmington, NM and Silverton, CO. I believe that was the last excursion of its kind. This little clip, converted from 8mm by my own very low tech Off-the-Wall Digital Conversion Service, features the portion of the trip from Alamosa to Antonito. As soon as I can get a state-of-the-art conversion done I will share the whole experience.

 | Seen on the D&RG in 1953 In June 1953 my father took my little brother and me on a rail excursion from Ohio to Colorado. On one of the side trips we went by train from Denver to Aspen then over Tennessee Pass to Salida, through the Royal Gorge to Pueblo, then back to Denver. This little clip, converted from 8mm by my own Off-the-Wall Digital Conversion Service, is the Salida to Pueblo portion of the trip. That's my brother and me in the dome car at the end. |

 | 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 ... |
 | Seen on the (former) D&RGW, 04/13/08 Thought I had better do some more field testing of the JVC, so I drove back up to Rollinsville today, hoping to get some pictures of the Ski Train coming down. I was just too late, but I did get an interesting unit coal train. I used the 16:9 "wide screen" aspect ratio. I kinda like it, what do you think? Maybe next weekend I will field test my tripod(;-)). |
