These are excerpts from movies of an affluent couples rail trip to the American west some time in the 1930s. Their identities and when it was filmed are unknown.
0:00 Taken from an open observation car, presumably on the way Los Angeles
0:00 This appears to be the arrival in the Los Angeles area. The couple is met by a group of other well-dressed people.
0:31 Leaving Pasadena for San Francisco on the Southern Pacific. SP F-5 2-10-2 No. 3748 in the lead.
1:00 A few views of and from the San Francisco cable cars.
1:18 On board the Denver & Rio Grande Western, on the way up to Tennessee Pass. Since its silent film, railfans will just have to imagine the sound of a doubleheader echoing off the rock walls of the river valley.
2:16 Stop at the top of the pass.
2:33 Headed downstream now for Royal Gorge. Note the recent rockfall.
3:07 Stopping at the bottom of Royal Gorge. The then-new Royal Gorge Bridge gets a lot of the photographers attention.")
