It is true we do not have a dedicated D&S video. We do have a nice segment(including on board), in the America By Rail-Heartland. We also have some good coverage(including 497 on a work train), in "Steam In The West". For historical footage we have 1950's material from 8mm film in "Riding the Narrow Gauge in the 1950's", and 16mm footage from Perry Becker in "Rio Grande Steam in the 1960's".

There are a number of GP(General Public type)videos on the D&S out there if you hunt for them. Les Jarrett has some more modern stuff with some photo specials with shots in the canyon over the last few years. I have not been there since 1994.
