Colorado’s Joint Line is a heritage of the original Denver & Rio Grande narrow gauge mainline out of Denver but, in the time before the big mergers was a line shared by trains of the Burlington Northern, the DRG&W and the Santa Fe. Owned by the Rio Grande and the Santa Fe and with the Burlington Northern as a tenant…Colorado’s Joint Line is the setting for a spectacular show featuring trains from all 3 railroads. Trains roar south out of mile-high Denver for the fifty mile run to Palmer Lake at 7,237 feet above sea level. Helpers are cut off at Palmer Lake and the trains continue to Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

Add to this scene a backdrop of the Colorado Rocky Mountains…and in all 4 seasons! You’ll experience Joint Line action on the colorful days of Autumn to the blizzards of Winter…then to the warm days of Spring and Summer.

Motive Power on the Joint Line includes C30-7, SD40,GP39-2. GP30, GP40- 2 and the SD45. Also see the new Oakway EMD SD60’s in their blue and white paint scheme. The red “SPSF” failed-merger paint scheme is still in evidence too.

    Recorded in both 1988 & 1989, this program covers a great variety of diesels on the Rio Grande, Santa Fe with the final B23-7 ever built: number 6418, & Burlington Northern with other road names like the EMD SD60 Demonstration units, Southern Pacific, & the Kodak units from the Santa Fe’s Failed 1985 merger with the SP through the Colorado Rockies in all 4 seasons of the year.

    Locations include Sedalia curve, Larkspur, Palmer Lake with the blue & yellow AT&SF helper units being removed as well as some pacing from BN 5111 not to mention a steam engine from Mexico on display, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs with a BN freight carrying flatbeds of Military Equipment, Crewe, Temple, Bragdon, Gorman with an aftermath of a train wreck, Chapel Hill, Tomah, Milepost 68.4, & Milepost 50.

    With 2 camera crews from both Dave Gross of Willow Creek Productions & William Brown himself, this is a nice add-on to the “Colorado’s Colorful Joint Line”.

    Not my favorite WB video, sound quality isn’t that great. The narration is extremely loud. Overall quality is a little rough but there’s lots of neat trains on here.

  3. Curtis Watson –

    Loved seeing the variety of locomotives, in the paint schemes of their owners, making their way through all the four seasons, and through a part of the country that is beautiful year-round. Highly recommend this!

  4. Dan –

    You might have a hard time choosing your favorite part of this program — long-gone paint schemes, vintage locomotives, operations on the Joint Line and the spectacular Colorado scenery (in all seasons and all kinds of weather) would be good choices. The footage in this program is now more than thirty years old, and captures a different era in railroading. Video quality is excellent, and the camerawork is very well done. One of WB’s best!

    This program showcases all the action found on the Joint Line, with the BN, AT&SF and D&RGW railroads operating train after train between Denver and Pueblo.

  6. Arthur Patzwald –

    Nice video alot of Railroads in this video you cant see on todays railroads

  7. Tuscaloosa –

    I like seeing the green BN and enjoy the glimpses of the SPSF (shouldn’t Paint So Fast) paint on some locomotives. Very good camera work.
