Join Ken Bealer of Allentown, PA, along with Joe Nemeth and Dave Pauer as they chase the Union Pacific from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Ogden, Utah, then chase the Denver & Rio Grande Western from Salt Lake City to Denver.
Finally, more Union Pacific action at Laramie, Wyoming.
This is one the many treks Ken Bealer and fellow railfans took to the west and midwest to capture the varied railroading action in these areas.

After purchasing (and thoroughly enjoying) "Railfanning the West Vol.2" last year, I took the plunge on this one, and am I ever glad that I did. More fantastic footage of the by-gone era, with a great variety of power, particularly as seen in the Sherman Hill-area footage. You'll see a steady-stream of Centennials, GP-9's, GP-30's, and SD-24's (A and B units!). The BN and D&RGW will not disappoint either; with great scenery and featuring lots of elegant passenger train footage. You'll also catch some rare scenes of the Ringling Bros Circus Train in action. Video-quality is very good, with just the right amount of narration. All in all, if enjoy vintage rail-action, you'll be happy with this purchase.
