- Joint Line, The (DVD)
The Joint Line is an action filled stretch of contemporary main line with a colorful past. Two fiercely competitive railroads, the Denver & Rio Grande and Santa Fe built parallel tracks between Denver and Pueblo, Colorado in the mid 1800s. However, the competition came to a halt during World War I when the U.S. Government forced "joint" operations between the two railroads.
Today, the Joint Line supports the Southern Pacific (including the Denver & Rio Grande Western), the Santa Fe and the Burlington Northern. Coal, freight, and passenger trains utilize this heavily traveled right of way. See dozens of leased and run-through locomotives, pusher engines shoving hard against long coal drags, and some of the newest diesels including BN's SD70MACs. Old black & white photos depicting the area, as well as steam and early diesel powered trains, are also shown as an interesting comparison of the past and present.
The gorgeous scenery of Colorado is highlighted in this video that was produced over a four year period. You are treated to the splendor of the different seasons, including spectacular snow scenes. Visit many of the popular locations along the line such as Castle Rock, Palmer Lake, and South Denver. Heavy freights, nonstop action, and a variety of motive power combined with breathtaking Colorado scenery makes this an incredible video you won't want to miss!
Man I sure do miss that unsilenced EMD 2 cycle bark!!!!
Love this video. Originally had it on VHS and now on DVD. I've probably watched it more than 50 times. I'm currently building a HO layout based on the Joint Line between Denver and Palmer Lake. This video gave me lots of good ideas to draw from.
I got this on DVD along with the Mullan Pass DVD at the Dayton Train Show last year.
I was an engineer on the Joint (joke) Line from Aug. '78 to Oct. '81 with the Santa Feces Ry. I never heard of any passenger trains on this line. A 118 mile district and you go on the law half way through. I went dead on the law, got taxied back to Denver, went home, got my rest, got called for an extra South, got taxied to Academy, and there was the same train I went dead on the day before!! This time I made all the way to Pueblo.
That's sounds fun for train DVDs
