Speed Graphic Film and Video | The Rio Grande Railroad in "The Desert Empire" (1948) @SpeedGraphicFilmVideo | Uploaded May 2019 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This is another one of my "railfan cuts" of an old railroad promotional film. In this case, the railroad is the Denver & Rio Grande Western, and the film is promoting Utah tourism. I've removed most of the non-rail parts of the film, leaving only scenes of railroading and mining.
The original film comes from the Prelinger collection at the Internet Archive (archive.org/details/prelinger)
