Re: Old Slides, Part 2

Pentrex made a VHS titled "Journey to Yesterday" and it was all about the making of the movie "Denver & Rio Grande". The movie short starts out talking about Durango and the little narrow gauge. It shows the Depot, 473 in Bumble Bee paint on the turntable and in the yard along with the RGS 20. Then hooking up to a mixed freight and leaving town showing the sights along the highline. Along the way they stop at a movie location and shows making several scenes. One of the scenes it has the 319 in maroon paint. It also shows the 268 and 345 in "bee" paint.
It also shows how the train wreck scene was planned out and staged. Shows all the cameras set up for the dramatic scene. Just before the crash it shows Rio Grande officails on hand to witness it.
A very neat video that I havent seen many copies of and I am glad I bought it years ago.
