Rating:  - Truly Bad Acting -- But CLASSIC Railroad Flick with Scenery to Die for
Pop your popcorn and settle in for a 1950's-style Matinee Western that from an acting point of view is just barely a B-movie, but railroad enthusiasts will watch this VHS over and over again.
The true stars of this flick are the old Denver & Rio Grande narrow gauge from Durango to Silverton, and the Colorado scenery. Rio Grande enthusiasts will also be totally intrigued by the rare opening footage of Rio Grande ALCO PA's in silver paint for CZ duty, and many FT and F3 covered ... Read More
Rating:  - saturday matinee western
A very bad B movie unless you are a railroad enthusiast (which I am) , or a ten year old boy ( there is no kissing). Ends with a lesson in not taking the law into your own hands.
Rating: - Clear Technicolor missing.
On the VHS they recorded it super long play using a small amount of tape. This ruined the beautiful Technicolor. Still worth buying for the price, or cheaper, unless they redo it another way. Sound was not ruined. Picture clear enough to watch, but the details, such as leaves blowing in the wind, and the overall brillance of technicolor do not show through like they should.

Rating:  - A good railroad story
This film is about the rivalry between two railroads to build a route through the Rocky Mountains. Lots of action, some comedy, a little romance, wonderful scenery, and a spectacular crash between two locomotives make this an enjoyable film to watch.
