Worktrain To Silverton Narrow Gauge

Purchase at -- www.greenfrog.com
In the late 1960's, Emery Gulash, noted rail photographer, spent a considerable amount of time recording the history of Denver & Rio Grande Narrow Gauge before the abandonment of freight operations. The photography of Emery Gulash is probably some of the best railroad photography ever produced.
Shot in 16mm color with crisp image and highly creative scenes, 'worktrain' will grab your attention from beginning to end.

The action covers a train of drop bottom gons headed by a class K-28 Mike as it works its way between Durango and Silverton and return. The train starts out early in the morning, ahead of the Silverton passenger runs.

The crisp golden colors of early morning portray a warmness seldom seen in railroading. The train is followed through the day as it switches at Hermosa, Silverton and interfaces with the Silverton passenger runs.

@Chatzi473 I'm not positive, but growing up in Durango and working on the railroad, I do remember the locomotives running with diamond stacks. They didn't have them installed when I was firing, but I know that they were on the locomotives for a period of time in my childhood. I was born in 1982.

Excellent video!! I was a fireman for the D&SNGRR in the summer months from 2003 to 2005. It is always a treat to see the same locomotives operating back in the day. Good job and please post more videos.

Adios

oh wait i see the 1960 in the side part, i was looking at where it says the copyright in the actual video

[Chatzi473]

the video says its in 1986 but by then the engine would say Durango Silverton and not have the funny stacks so it is taken before 1980
