Videographers: Brian Jansky & Jason Rose After a 23 year slumber, D&RGW Rotary Snowplow "OY" returned to life on the Cumbres & Toltec: February 29 - March 1, 2020. This 2-day event began at the western terminus of Chama, New Mexico and worked up the 4% grade to the NM/CO state line by Saturday afternoon. That evening there was a night photo shoot in Chama Yard. The following morning the Rotary train left early and cleared from Cresco to Coxo where the railroad is out-of-sight of the highway. The photographers rejoined the train just south of Perry Pond (near Coxo Crossing) and followed the rest of the way up to 10,015' Cumbres Pass, Colorado. This event was absolutely incredible! A once-in-a-lifetime experience...the pinnacle of railroad photography excursions. I can't imagine any event that could exceed the scenic beauty, uniqueness, professionalism, and camaraderie of this trip. The railroad did a superb job of organizing and executing every aspect from feeding 200 people for 2 days to staging more than a dozen photo locations across 14 miles of remote mountain railroad. My one regret is the lack of tripod use. I was on the Wrangler Crew (from the Friends of the C&T) and due to space limitations on the buses we were asked not to bring tripods. For me photography was secondary to managing the photo lines and ensuring guest safety. That said, many of the shots turned out pretty good. Special thanks to Brian Jansky for allowing me use of his video to supplement what I was able to capture. Brian and I have been friends for about a decade and drove up there together from Houston/Spring. These long trips are always better when a buddy rides along. Also, special thanks to Bill Kepner for allowing me to use his video clip of The Demise of Rory, the Snowman. I completely missed this hilarious escapade put together by Pete Lerro and his crew. Happy 50th Anniversary to the Cumbres & Toltec. Here's to many MANY more anniversary’s! RioGrandeExplorations.net

Unchained Melody is the Corps Song for the Gulf Coast Sound Drum & Bugle Corps. The Corps has changed names back to Bayou City Blues today, but GCS still has a special place in my heart... and this piece of music embodies all that was great about that Corps. This is being performed on Kanstul G Bugles. -KBB 190 Baritone Bugle -Mouthpiece: Schilke 51D -KEB 195 Euphonium Bugle -Mouthpiece: LM35 -KCG 200 Contrabass Bugle -Mouthpiece: Dillon - Chief BayouCityBlues.com RioGrandeExplorations.net

Several Rocky Mountain Narrow Gauge fans (that live in Texas) teamed up to film Union Pacific's Big Boy tour around Houston. In Houston, UP 4141 was added to the consist. It will be donated to the Bush Presidential Library in 2021. Videographers: Blake Bogs Brian & Emily Jansky Jason & Michele Rose RioGrandeExplorations.net

Angelus Domini (Ave Maria) by Franz Beibl is one of my favorite pieces of music. I first heard it on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM4Yr... Shortly after that introduction I found this version by Chanticleer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVyCJ... I couldn’t get the piece out of my head and about 4 years ago decided that I needed to record it. Well, I’ve finally made the time to make it happen. Seeing as how Mother’s Day is coming up, it seemed appropriate to dedicate this to all mothers, especially my beloved wife, Michele. This is being performed on Kanstul G Bugles. -KBB 190 Baritone Bugle -Mouthpiece: Schilke 51D -KEB 195 Euphonium Bugle -Mouthpiece: LM35 -KCG 200 Contrabass Bugle -Mouthpiece: Dillon - Chief English Lyrics The Angel of the Lord announced to Mary And she conceived by the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Mary said: Behold the handmaiden of the Lord. Do to me according to your word. Hail Mary ... And the Word was made flesh And dwelt among us. Hail Mary ... Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen. RioGrandeExplorations.net

This was shot during a Pete Lerro charter on April 27 & 28, 2019. The clips are in order as they were shot, which was not always linear along the railroad. We moved around to various places to capitalize on the available light. Several locations were used more than once, usually with the time-of-day and direction-of-travel varying. This was an absolutely incredible charter. Pete Lerro did a world-class job putting it together. Special thanks to Greg Udolph (TSR GM) for going above and beyond to make this happen.
