Bonnie and everyone tell your friiends if you like this. I am the producer and it cost a lot (for me) to produce this DVD. I'd sorta like to break even. Claude

I can remember going down to the roundhouse (old Van Briggle Pottery) and waiting for my dad to come in from Cripple Creek, probably on one of these engines. We had a 1936 Buick and I was about 3 or 4 years old.
I was born in 1949. It is fascinating to see how old I really am by seeing this movie. You were so kind to have posted it. Rick Bergles (I live on the bluff up behind Meadow Muffins; my house looks down on the very end of Gold Camp Road (now 26th Street.))
Is there a way to purchase the DVD besides on-line? rbergles@gmail.com
@brushbros To purchase (not online) call 1-800-345-6120 (9am-4pm Mountain Time) and ask to purchase the DVD Pikes Peak Route, stock number 77 from Mountain Automation. Sorry it took so long to reply. Someone had flagged your message as spam and I only founf it today.
Despite living in the area since 1975 and on Ute Pass for 20 years, I had to enlist Midland expert Mel McFarland to identify all the locations, I could identify a very few while Mel provided locations for every scene in the original motions pictures (total about 15 minutes on this DVD). These are very rare images since the railroad ran only at night for its last decades until near the end (1948-1949) when it ran during the day for about one year.
Just amazing what US 24 (Cimarron Ave) looked like west of Colorado Springs at one time. This is a very fascinating part of Colorado's rich railroad history!
