Description: All aboard for a more than two-hour celebration of Colorado's "mystery mainline" from Denver to Pueblo via University Park, Sullivan, Connors, Kenwood Park, Melvin, Parker, Hill Top, Whiskey Gulch, Elizabeth, Rock Butte, Cameron, Elbert, Sidney, Eastonville, Granger, Falcon, Bierstadt, Manitou Junction, Franceville, Franceville Junction, Colorado Springs, Fountain, Little Buttes, Wigwam, Cactus, Pinon, and Overton. John Evans' D&NO, an unlikely 124 mile High Plains route, was Colorado's first standard gauge railroad south of The Mile High City that competed directly with the Denver & Rio Grande--forcing the latter to standard-gauge its route south of Denver. Author and filmmaker James R. "Jim" Jones takes you on a bumpy ride as the northern component of a through-route to the Gulf, before the famous 1899 Joint Line Agreement with the Santa Fe left these tracks in the dust. For 36 years, much of these demoted tracks remained as the Colorado & Southern Railway's Falcon Line-- a quaint country branch from South Denver to a connection with the Rock Island Railroad at Falcon. This is the perfect video companion to Jones' long out of print prairie classic book of the same name. Enjoy rare film, photos, and ephemera, with colorful anecdotes from a road less traveled, This comprehensive, entertaining DVD spotlights the life and times of the people and places along the tracks, followed by a very special vintage program featuring two railroad veterans who worked on this line during its final years. All the fun is getting there! 2 HOURS, 22 MINUTES, with bonus features. Enjoy a special low price in this 26th anniversary year of the initial release of the long-sold out book of the same name. An all new, revised, tweaked and expanded BOOK on this subject has just been released by the author and filmmaker. Look for COLORADO & SOUTHERN RAILWAY'S D&NO ROUTE also on EBay. Makes a great companion and gift idea for residents of the fast-growing metropolitan area southeast of downtown Denver. CONTINENTAL U.S. SALES ONLY!
