Railroad Train films Rio Grande Historical Trip to Silverton
This is a collection of old Railroad films called a "Trip tp Silverton". Very RARE and maybe 1 of a kind film story about a group of 275 Railroad fans who commissioned a Locomotive 5626 in Illinois to travel to Denver, and then on to Silverton Colorado in 1959. Once they got to the base of the Rockies, they changed Railroad locomotives to go on a Narrow Gauge Steam Engine No.476. From there they traveled to Silveton. The first 3 films is are about that trip. We hope you'll enjoy this collection.
