See the Rio Grande before it lost its identity. Freight and passenger, and a snow plow train. We’ll see Rio Grande trains on the Moffat Tunnel Route, Multiple unit trains over Tennessee Pass and the Ski Train with 1915 era coaches and F-9 units.
See the “Rio Grande Zephyr” passenger train with F-9 units and Amtrak’s “California Zephyr”, both on board and trackside. We also get to board the private car “Yerba Buena” for a luxury trip from Salt Lake City to Denver. And we watch as the Snow Plow train runs from Winter Park to Kremmling. Photographed 1982-1986.

Excellent DVD! Good locations, you get it her some of DRGW’s M3 air horns. Cowboy railroading for sure. The wooden plow is neat, ski train with F’s and you get some new SD50’s in the mix. Massive 8 engine lashups. A neat program to have for any DRGW fan.

Recorded from 1982-1985/6, this program chronicles not only regular freight action on the Moffat Tunnel line, but also Since Preserved F unit 5771 on both the Ski Train & the Rio Grande Zephyr. Plus there is helper action on the since abandoned Tennessee Pass Line, & Also an eastbound trip on Private car Yerba Buena. Which initially enough, the car itself appeared in the early pentrex video: the best of 1984.
