"Rugged" doesn't even begin to describe Stampede Pass.
The legendary mainline of the Northern Pacific is back in action following a
decade of slumber. Now it is the Burlington Northern Santa Fe taking on the
2.2% grades over the Cascades with Dash-9s and SD-40s. Machines of Iron
offers you a first look as the BNSF gets its footing on the line with new
signaling and experimental DPU trains. The Return of Stampede Pass brings
you all the grandeur of this magnificent engineering achievement."

Rocky Mountain Snowplow
"It's early May, and Colorado and New Mexico's famous Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad is still closed with huge drifts of snow blocking the tracks for several miles! Rotary snowplow OY, along with K-36 class 2-8-2 steam locomotives 487, 488, and 484 are dispatched to clear the line of the blockage. Witness some of the finest plowing ever, as the rotary digs through the deep snow under a clear blue sky! Thrill to the action as the snowplow train assaults 10,015 foot Cumbres Pass, on the former Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad as some locomotives even sported the famed flying Rio Grande lettering on their tenders."
"Come along for a visit to the historic Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad for a taste of what this fine machinery can do. We'll follow the rotary OY with its train from Chama, New Mexico to Cumbres Pass on the former Denver and Rio Grande narrow gauge line. This production was shot in May of 1993 and May of 1997 after two heavy winters."
