Another great pick by Merle. Thank You, Merle!
Watching this little 4-4-0 chug along reminds me that the old TV westerns used a lot of stock footage featuring steam engines. I remember seeing Cheyenne and Maverick shows where they were supposedly riding on a train and every little bit you would get a switch to engine shots, usually of the crosshead and rods flashing and the wheels running on the rails. As a kid, I thought they filmed the whole thing on a train. It was all very exciting.

The run from Durango to Silverton is a very memorable experience.
We have done it once and want to do it again. It is a sad feeling you get when you leave the mountains and head back to Illinois.
