Description: Silent 16mm Kodachrome footage spanning from 1942-1947 (based on film edge date codes) of various steam trains in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Showing Big Ten Curve, Glenwood Canyon/Depot, and more. Various freight trains, engines, reefer cars, etc.

Shot on B&H Filmo 70 and Cine Kodak Special. Portions have some camera gate shake/shudder unfortunately; I applied minor stabilization in post to help correct some of it.
