Several names are widely recognized as belonging to great railroad photographers. One of those names belongs to Otto Perry, a man who traveled the country, recording both still and moving pictures of our nation’s railroad history. One of his favorites was the Denver and Rio Grande Western, and over the years, he filmed trains around this entire route. Machines of Iron, in cooperation with the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club, offers a look back at this “narrow gauge circle,” produced from the film collection of this renowned railroad photographer.

See Otto Perry’s wonderful and informative film about following the amazing narrow guage thru the beautiful state of Colorado abd to boot even in the winter. Watch the Denver/Rio Grande Western travel thru the rocky mountain in beautiful scenery. Very, very good film for narrow gauge fans, 5 star rating.

A great buy with great footage of what it would be like to follow the narrow gauge circle in Colorado. This one is easily a favorite! Machines of Iron produces some very nicely put together DVD’s such as this great example.
