The Rio Grande Railroad in "The Desert Empire" (1948)

This is another one of my "railfan cuts" of an old railroad promotional film. In this case, the railroad is the Denver & Rio Grande Western, and the film is promoting Utah tourism. I've removed most of the non-rail parts of the film, leaving only scenes of railroading and mining. The original film comes from the Prelinger collection at the Internet Archive (www.archive.org/details/prelinger)
