Alan this is great. Loved the opening scene showing the K-37 leaving Gunnison and interesting to see a passenger car in the line up a few cars into the train. Growing up in Gunnison I can appreciate this film and the conditions they dealt with. It wasn't uncommon to have cows get there heads frozen under the snow while eating in cold temperatures. Also, seeing the Cattlemens Day parade and rodeo brought back great memories. In the opening scene you can also see the ROW to Crested Butte as they are driving out to the ranch. Thanks for passing on the link!
