The Last Steamers of the Colorado & Southern DVD 5 of 5 (1)
They were among the last standard gauge steamers to see regular service in the nation. In 1958 to 1960 railfan David Gross was on hand to photograph these beautifully kept steam locomotives on 16mm color film. From Denver to Wyoming, against a magnificent backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, watch 2-10-2 #900, 2-8-2's #807 and #4978, 2-8-0 #641 and others perform their duties to the last. In a breathtaking winter sequence filmed by Edward Gerlits, ride steam rotary snowplow #99201 as it clears the Leadville to Climax Branch.
In the late 50's, rail buffs from all over the country converged on Colorado to see these last days of steam on the Colorado & Southern Division of the Burlington Railroad. Now, experience these great moments for yourself in this high quality video.
