Steam & Excursion > DRGW narrow gauge July 1960

OK, this is the last clip for the time being.  There is a bit more on the DVD but it is going to take more work to put it together.  The first caption is wrong, 489 and 484 are actually eastbound, not westbound, but I can't figure out how to change the caption and I am too lazy to start over.  The still photos are of trains included in the video, 489/484 seen at Oxford and 486 just west of Chama.  I could post more b&w stills from this trip, but I suspect that folks have reached their saturation point with photos from this period.

not a chance!   Keep them coming.

Nice! 
The consists are interesting- a real mix of pipe, oil, and lumber along with all the box cars.

Very enjoyable both the still pictures and the video.  Post more please.

Thanks Gordon, very enjoyable.   Shame the connection between Durango and Chama is gone.

OUTSTANDING!

That video is easily worth the past several years of TrainOrder subscriptions. Thank you, very much.

In that last sequence with the K-37; it looks like it's hauling standard gauge cars. This was dual gauge trackage.

As long as there were 3 coupler adapter cars front and rear.

Yes, I noticed a small covered hopper. Thanks for sharing. It was big time steam railroading even in 1960.
