For those of you who didn’t know about Les Jarrett’s Cab ride videos, this 6 part set took place during production of the 4th and final America By Rail video: Route of the Southwest Chief in March of 1997. After all the scenery is really good, as well as climbing over Raton & Glorieta passes, not to mention the unique Semaphore & Wig Wag Signals from the steam days are shown which was filmed many years prior to their removal & upgrade to today’s crossings & block signals.
