Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Narrow Gauge RailroadDescription:
This is an in-depth look at the world famous Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Narrow Gauge Railroad located in the borders od Colorado & New Mexico. The feature contains steam trains traveling 64 miles through thick green forests of aspens, pines and cedar trees, mysterious volcanic rock formations, winding river grasslands and high desert plains. Watch trains travel over a breathtaking 165 foot high trestle, cling to the side of a 500 foot cliff and tackle grades in access of 4%. Filmed in the winter, spring, summer and fall at 37 different locations you will see double-headers, triple headers and freight trains. You will also see the Beautiful Eureka & Palisades #4, This privately owned Baldwin Locomotive Works 4-4-0 locomotive built in "1875" could possibly be the oldest "operating" narrow gauge locomotive in the country. You will not only view the full trains but you will also view the amazing terrain the trains are trying to conquer. Running time = About 2 hours

ANOTHER SUPERB RAILFAN VIDEO FROM SHILOH!AFTER VIEWING THIS PRODUCERS' EARLIER RELEASE ON THE CUMBRES & TOLTEC, I COULD HARDLY WAIT FOR THIS ANNOUNCED RELEASE. THE WAIT WAS WELL WORTH IT. NARRATION IS MINIMAL (DISC CAN BE PLAYED WITHOUT NARRATION), LETTING THE ENGINES AND SCENERY DO THE TALKING. THIS PRODUCERS VIDEOGRAPHY IS EXCELLENT+, PROVIDING DIFFERENT AND VARIED VIEWS FROM MOST OTHER PRODUCTIONS I HAVE SEEN ON THIS SUBJECT. PRODUCTION QUALITY IS HIGH, CLEARLY EVIDENT THROUGHOUT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
SEE ALSO-DURANGO & SILVERTON RELEASE, ALSO SUPERB!!
