A couple of days after the conclusion of the Victorian Iron Horse Roundup, Rio Grande Southern 4-6-0 #20 operated it's first excursion on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad - a doubleheader with K-27 2-8-2 #463 masquerading as Rio Grande Southern #455. This program begins with that August 31st doubleheader, then chronicles a month of special excursions with #20 and the other two resident Victorian locomotives on the C&TS: D&RG 4-6-0 #168 and D&RG 2-8-0 #425 (more commonly known as Denver & Rio Grande Western #315).
While Eureka and Glenbrook were the stars of the August Roundup (covered on Victorian Iron Horses on the C&TS - Vol. 1), RGS #20 was the main attraction in September and October. The 1899-built 4-6-0 was visiting from the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden - it's first trip away from the museum since it was returned to steam in 2020. This program covers all of #20's runs except a September 5th trip from Antonito to Big Horn.
The video includes:
Aug. 31st - Trains Magazine RGS charter w/ #20 and #455 - Antonito to Osier
Sept. 25th - Friends of the C&TS D&RG #168 charter - Antonito to Osier
Sept. 27th - Lerro Productions charter Day 1: D&RG #168 - Antonito to Big Horn
Sept. 28th - Day 2: D&RG #425 - Antonito to Cascade Trestle
Sept. 29th - Day 3: RGS #20 - Antonito to Osier
Oct. 1st - RGS #20 - Antonito to Chama
Oct. 2nd - RGS #20 - Chama to Antonito (doubleheaded w/ #455 to Cumbres Pass)
The aspens were at peak fall color in early October and you won't want to miss RGS #20 climbing the 4% grade from Chama to Cumbres Pass. You'll also see breathtaking sunrise shots with both #168 and #425 on the east side of the railroad, plus some lesser known photo spots that were featured during the 3-day Lerro Productions charter that ran out of Antonito, CO.
Filmed entirely in HD, this video features 3 narrow gauge 19th century steam locomotives operating at home in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. In addition to the sweeping vistas of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, there's plenty of great steam action in this comprehensive look at RGS 20 and the fall photo trips. This program has minimal narration (with the option to turn it on or off) and no distracting music. It's available on standard definition widescreen DVD and High Definition Blu-ray disc.
