You will also see more passenger trains at Denver’s Union Station. Dual gauge action, including steam, combines with standard gauge early diesels at Alamosa and Antonito. Also witness steam, with the Colorado & Southern on their isolated Climax Branch out of Leadville, accessible only by way of the D&RGW line! Just some of the locations and trains include Soldier Summit (where we’ll see a Utah Railway coal train), Moffat Tunnel at both east and west portals, A limestone run to Monarch Pass, BN at Leadville, Grand Junction, Tennessee Pass and many other locations! Combined with other Emery Gulash videos on the California Zephyr and many narrow gauge video’s of the Rio Grande, this program offers the railfan one of the most complete video series available on this railroad!

An “Odyssey” is a long voyage that sees many changes of it’s fortune. Here we see the Rio Grande Railroad in it’s long voyage. From the days of steam to diesel, narrow gauge to standard gauge, in various locations along the system. Both freight & passenger service is included. Excellent production well worth owning.

This program showcases both narrow gauge steam and standard gauge diesels in action on both freight and passenger trains, including the famous California Zephyr and future steam survivors such as #’s 484 and 487.
