Narrow rails Still Shine was one of the Very First Railway productions videos ever made in 1987 which is the First Title from Eric Green’s Narration.
Rotary Snowplow Through the Rockies was the RP Version of the Early May 1991 action on the C&TS with 487, 488 & Rotary OY. Besides Les’ version of the plow, Pentrex, Greg Scholl, And some of the media & other short-lived producers were also there as well.
These 2 videos were first Combined in 1994 on VHS as Marathon of Steam Volume 1.

A great earlier production on the D&S and C&TS showing why Colorado narrow gauge railroading is so unique. The first half which is Narrow Rails Still Shine is great showing the busy D&S and the uniqueness of the C&TS with all of its remaining history and how it is preserved. The second half is great footage of the Rotary OY hard at work clearing Cumbres and gives a great look into the operations of running a rotary and interviews with those who had to do it on the Rio Grande.
