RFD TV Monday / Tuesday

I enjoyed the dog chasing the train. Probably twice a day. Remember a dog that met every passenger train thru Williams Lake, British Columbia. Knew which door was closest to the kitchen. Never disappointed.
RFD_TV added a crawl advertisement - shame.
Far too much comentary. Commercial availability without commentary, but with a paper station and points of interest listing would be appreciated by some. The locomotive sound appears to have been added recently. Maybe we should play the tape with no sound, recreating Mr. Perry's original filming.
Mr. Perry's love for 3/4 front views is railfan normal.
Note the RPO car at or near the head-end of the passenger trains. The postal contract was the primary reason for these trains. In Chama, visit the work train Cook Car, former RPO, being gradually rehabilited. There is considerable evidence, inside and out, of it"s history. The ladders and roof walk allowed trainmen to walk to the locomotive cab - the RPO end doors were kept locked.
There is a lot of history, such as wayside buildings, in these tapes. Consider carrying still views from these shows when looking for "Then and Now" locations, such as Section Houses. Any evidence of cars left behind at wreck sites?
Personal note: I rode the parlor car of the San Juan Express in July of 1949, the last full year of the RPO contract and this train. Roundabout way to get from home in Seattle to school in Maine, but somebody had to do it.
My thanks to the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club and to RFD_TV.
