Dennis was 74 when this was filmed in 1999. Narrow Gauge is still hanging on with a few people determined to keep that history alive. Interesting history on the Durango Silverton RR.

My father and uncle both worked for the D&SNGRR for 35+ years, and I grew up hearing the voice of Neal Reich over the radio. Great video, thanks for the upload!

This railroad along with the Cumbres and Toltec are very high on our to do list. We are fortunate to have four narrow two foot gauge railroads near us in Maine. The WWFRR also operates steam engines.

There's also the East Broad Top in Pennsylvania, which they're restoring.

It would be awesome, speaking with someone who might have known Forrest Dewey Wright.
