I grew up with the Rio Grande. One of my first train trips was when my mom and I rode the Prospector to Glenwood Springs and the Zephyr back to Denver. I remember the dining car steward giving me some orange chocolate sticks. My godfather was one of the company doctors for D&RGW so I got to know some people who hooked me up with the occasional cab ride.
I have had dreams where I'm riding in a locomotive when the rails disappear and the train starts to fly, then I wake up. I talked to my dad about this, and he said he had the same dreams. My father was a locomotive engineer, and sometimes I would ride with him as a teen. 6:57
I remember driving through Glenwood Canyon with my parents long before the interstate freeway was built. Somewhere along the line was a stone monument with a passenger car model on it. I think it is now at the Colorado railroad museum in Golden.
I LOVE the Denver Rio Grande Western railroad!
I remember the days of the D and R G W Rio Grande was a great railroad I like train videos with the caboose on the end of the freight train
Love to see more of them just beautiful

Yes
On the 8mm films, the added sound effects are not so good.
