Rio Grande Moffat Route, From D&RGW to UP

Once one of America’s classic railroads, the Denver and Rio Grande Western is now just a memory. This video scrapbook will take you through several tunnels as the Moffat Route climbs Colorado’s Front Range. Get an engineer’s view as the tracks penetrate the core of the Rockies through the Moffat Tunnel. Speed across Middle Park to Byers Canyon and the rugged Gore Canyon, wind along the Colorado River to Bond and on to the Craig Branch where coal trains roam. More than a decade’s worth of video shows the Moffat Route’s transition from Rio Grande to Southern Pacific to Union Pacific.
