Journey To Yesterday - Illinois Railroad Club (video)

"JOURNEY TO YESTERDAY" TRAIN TRIP SPONSORED BY THE ILLINOIS RAILROAD CLUB OF CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS. TRAVELING TO SILVERTON, COLORADO. TRAIN RACING TRUCK. "
I believe this was the June 1959 trip as CB&Q 5626 is shown but maybe someone can pin this down definitively. Great chase sequence with a Mack? truck trying to pace the standard gauge train, fat chance
. The sequences are a little out of order as it starts with the train in Chama and then they leave Alamosa 
. The audio sounds like it was recorded on the train and perhaps NGDF listers will recognize some of the club members on board and hiding in the weeds (who needs stink-in photo lines anyway)?
