Action on the Durango & Silverton. Exciting narrow gauge steam action in the spectacular scenery of Coloradoís Animas River Canyon. A fall Durango & Silverton photographers special provides both sunny and moody, atmospheric weather, and a winter special has glorious sunshine with deep snow. K-28 2-8-2 #478 is the power for the specials, and K-36 2-8-2ís are in charge of the regular passenger trains. Don’t miss the action! Narration on/off and a marker for each train.

Coal Smoke Over Cumbres
A five-day photo charter on the Cumbres & Toltec with superb weather on all five days. Awesome stack talk from hard-working K-36’s fighting the grade on a perfectly still pre-dawn morning, pre-dawn and sunrise glint shots at Lava tank, super sunrise silhouettes at Hangman’s trestle come together to make this one program steam fans won’t want to miss!

Guilford On the B&M
A re-release of one of our very first programs, unavailable for several years. Re-edited, with some never-before-seen footage, Guilford on the B&M is perhaps a misnomer, as the program includes a chase north of Portland with GP35s. You’ll see Bluebird GP9s and GP40s, shabby ex-Santa Fe SD26s in grey and orange, high hood SD45s, MBTA F units and Bud cars, U28B’s and U33C’s. Lots of action at Lawrence, MA & East Deerfield. Taped mostly in 1988 and 1989 with very early equipment, the quality is not as good as from our latest high definition cameras. A blast from the past!
