Fond memories of a trip from Durango to Silvereton, when the line was still operated by the D&RGW RR in 1974. Today I live within earshot of a narrow gauge line operated by steam with 12 daily trains - year around!
Narrow guage. These giants are almost balancing on 36”!!! No wonder they’re rocking! Beautiful job sir!! For the people who say the tracks need work. Get a group and I’m sure they’ll let you come down and volunteer. They could always use a few more gandy dancers.
Wonderful job. The softer look of 16mm super 35 film still holds up. I thought 16mm film and DVX tapes would be the standard for video production, but I was wrong.
Yea, 35mm looks too close to digital. Plus when you're running and gunning, it can get very expensive. So we settled on 16mm and the majority of the shows we've done (check out our other videos) are on 16mm. We have one more show that's being finished right now, which is part of a trilogy about the 476. The next one is about running the train in the snow and the conversion from Coal to Oil. The one after that, which we're shooting in October, will be more about the freight business of the Rio Grande and how the K28's dominated that on the Silverton Branch. So don't forget to subscribe to catch more videos coming soon! Primarily shot on film.
I probably won't get an answer 😄but is there any chance you could list the music tracks? It fits the amazing cinematography so well, and I'd love to hear more of it!
Derp 🤦♂️ You've really committed to old style film making, and you've done an amazing job! I don't often do this, but I watched this video on my TV, and was all the better for it. I really look forward to seeing more of this, and dare I say it - longer videos 😄 Congratulations on an outstanding piece of video production 👏
@@josephkarl2061 Thanks! Our next films are wrapped, just waiting to release them. They’re a big step forward in production value. Stick around to the channel and they’ll be dropping in the coming weeks!
@@tyestrains Why does it look so good? Usually when I see 16mm footage it looks bad, very grainy low resolution and the colors are very badly reproduced.
@@teresashinkansen9402 Well, we do this professionally and use modern equipment. That really helps us create a nice looking image. Our other film “476 to Silverton” is a far better representation of what we can do, it looks a lot better.
Seeing modern stuff on "old film tech" is so cool.
We rode this train back in the late 70s from Durango to Silverton and back. It was a marvelous time.
Rode it 10 yrs back. Amazing trip standing at the back of the very last (open) car, in the autumn just after the first snow of the season.

Amazing work!! The 16mm just looks marvellous. Something that can’t be duplicated!
Thanks! Don’t forget to watch the other film on here we just posted last month! It’s even better! 👍
I can’t stop watching this! Damn this is some nice cinematography!

Beautiful job sir!!

Amazing job. I really like the juxtaposition of the look of film with postfilm technology in the frame.
The shots in this look beautiful!
!I do love old steamers. There is nothing like it. Great camera work!
Wahou !! Ça fait rêver ! Merci pour ce magnifique film
This is absolutely amazing!
EXCELLENT camera work! There is a "feel" of film that just does not fully translate with video. Fitting for this subject for sure!
Great video
It's always great to watch your videos, Tyler!

Really well done! Bravo,!
2:36 Al-a-mos-a! Al-a-mos-a! The alamosa dance
Great video! Lots of rockin and rollin going on. Track condition is interesting in places.
Молодцы американцы, сохраняете такие раритеты❤😊👏👏👏👏
What camera did you use ? great
Aaton XTR prod, Canon 11.5-165 zoom and Kodak 7207 250D stock.
Perfect, bravo.
Far better without the music.
Everyone else posts train sounds only films. We do something a bit different. But we do have a lot of train sounds films coming soon!
I probably won't get an answer 😄but is there any chance you could list the music tracks? It fits the amazing cinematography so well, and I'd love to hear more of it!
The music tracks are in the credits! :)

Fantastic
I know that the perspective is exaggerated by the long focal lengths but some of those tracks need attention.
This is probably one of the best sections of track lol :P
@@tyestrains 😂
I'm not sure if this is a lens or an actual older camera was used but this is awesome.
Yep it was shot on film, the old fashion way!!
