Pay a visit to some of the most fantastic train rides in the entire world!
The colorful state of Colorado is home to several interesting and scenic trains, and you'll ride them all in this program. You'll see Colorado's fantastic scenery the way it should be seen, through the window of a train.
And what trains they are! You'll see and ride everything from steam-powered narrow gauge trains to modern Superliners. The railroads that you's see in this video are: Amtrak's"California Zephyr" and "Southwest Chief", the Canon City & Royal Gorge, Colorado Railroad Museum, Cripple Creek & Victor, Cumbres & Toltec, Denver RTD Light Rail, Denver & Rio Grande, Durango & Silverton, Ft. Collins Municipal Railway, Georgetown Loop, Leadville, Colorado & Southern, Manitou and Pikes Peak, Platte River Trolley.
If you liked our America By Rail series, then you LOVE this program, made in the same ABR style with music once again composed by PBS composer Michael Lynch.
A great video for both the scenery and train lover. Includes on-board and lineside shots, lots of natural train sounds as well as beautiful music and interesting narration.
