Review of Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad DVD Railway Productions

 4.3 of 5 (3)
If you liked our "America By Rail" videos, you'll LOVE this DVD. Shot and edited in the "ABR-Style" with music composed by PBS composer Michael Lynch. Visit one of the most outstanding railroads in the USA. The C&TS RR is one of the best preserved steam railroads to be found anywhere, running through the West's finest scenery.

This DVD shows the entire line from Antonito, Colorado to Chama, New Mexico from the train and trackside. This is one of the most rugged railroad lines in the country, something that you won't want to miss! Lots of smoke, steam, and pretty golden October trees. A DVD that the entire family will enjoy. Includes snow scenes and the Rotary Snowplow.

As an added treat, we've included 25 minutes of bonus footage not found in the VHS version! The bonus footage contains no music and no narration...just the trains and their sounds.

DVD includes chapter menus.

From Railway Productions. 56 minutes + 25 minutes of bonus footage.
