Sunday River productions VHS 1988 Otto Perry’s Rio Grande Southern Narrow Gauge

Description

Made in Co-operation with the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club, this is one of the longest Sunday River titles ever made.
There are a bunch of locations between the connection of the D&RGW narrow gauge’s 4th division at Durango & Ridgeway before the RGS was out of business for good after 1951.
This program also has interviews from Jack Brinkerhoff, Eloise & Gilbert Talbert, George Connor, Bill Wagner, Norton Brewster, Ruby Gonzales, Fermin Lobato, Jack Thode, Robert Richardson (explaining the history of Goose 2 from the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden), & Cameraman Richard Kindig.
While the opening minutes contain what is left of the RGS after 1951 due to the rails being ripped up, the majority of this program contains action from Steam locomotives such as K-27 type Mikados 461, 454, 459, & Future famous survivors 463, & 464. Plus, future famous surviving 10 Wheeler number 20, future famous surviving 2-8-0s 318 & 340, 319, 271, 74, & the iconic Galloping Goose Motorcars, which includes a ride on one of them while heading south & back.
An aftermath of the wreck of 455 is also included.
Like many of the other Sunday River titles, this nearly 35 year old program was recorded on a maxell tape.
