Tape # 53184 Order
In August, 1997, the Rio Grande Southern ran again...this time on the Cumbres and Toltec. Thanks to Bill Lund and many others, arrangements were made to re-letter K-27 number 463 to RGS #455 (before the wreck). A long freight train was made up of D&RGW cars and a caboose (re-lettered to RGS number 0404). The train steamed through such well known "RGS" locations as Lower Gallagher, Keystone Hill, Lizard Head, Vance Junction, the Ute Coal Pocket, Upper Gallagher, Bridge 45A and Brown/Meadow Creek. You'll also meet with some old-timers who rode the real RGS, as well as listen to Mallory Hope Ferrell as he discusses some of the RGS locations we will visit through spectacular photos from his collection, as well as real shots of the railroad in the 40's!. Shot on professional Beta SP, edited in our AVID on-line editing system (the same system now used by the top Hollywood producers, you'll witness the way it was on the RGS 40 or 50 years ago, but with top quality video, and superior stereo audio.
