Soon after the states bought what became the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad, the need to raise money became apparent. So someone put together a series of 30 second spots for local TV stations to run, probably around 1970. They would have been broadcast in color but sadly, the 16mm film prints have faded badly so I've taken the liberty of reproducing them in black and white. Here are the first two:

Anybody have any background on them?
