In this clip, passenger cars are connected to the rear of a real D and RGW freight train traveling between Durango Colorado and Silverton Colorado during 1952. The train still runs today as a tourist railroad and if you have never taken a trip on this world famous rail line, you are missing out on something very special.

  • In this video, Railroad Durango to Silverton 1952, The very last scene I believe to be on the switchbacks of the Monarch branch. I think this was the only spot on the narrow gauge to have the blinking light crossing guards.

  • @mesaman3000 You may be correct as It looks like a string of cars on the switchback in the background.

    This may be the first switchback across HY 50 west of Poncha Springs. I know this area some what and it does sort of look like the area.

    I had a hard time to edit these movies as they were all spliced together out of order. Check my other video to see the two D and RGW Locomotives at Sargents. Thanks TT.

  • Thanks for posting these great videos! The narrow gauge lives on in the digital age!

    The Marshall Pass clip is historic because it shows the RGS Goose no. 3 fresh from the demise of the RGS.

    I embedded and linked back to these videos from my blog. Please keep putting up the great content. I'm sure my readers will enjoy it!

  • @coloradorailroads Steve I think the Marshall pass video is actually the Rio Grande Southern for the first part. The last part of the video is D and RGW @ Sargents Colorado. I changed the information. You may want to review the video again to see the changes. Thanks TT.
