It might be a little while before I get to them (Only got about 700 other images before them!) but I assure you there are some goodies in there.
Yay! Blackhawk was THE source for movies and slides back in the day. I have some of their N&W, VGN and D&RGW (NG) slide sets.

For those of us who lived it and saw it, especially as railfans, it was quite spectacular. But it also marked a major change point in railroading, which in it's own way was quite sad.
Pretty close, but I looked closer at the cars trailing the locos and they appear to be different consists, but its likely that they were taken within a matter of days. A quintet of E-Units, led by E8A 351, pull the San Francisco Zephyr during a chilly December day in 1973 somewhere near Denver (Bob Jordan) Heading west towards Denver, the SFZ is lead by SDP40F 625 at it speeds towards the camera, August 1974 (Bob Jordan)
All I have to say about this first one is that it is simply Grande. January 1975 (Bob Jordan) A freight headed by GP40 3081 rolls through the siding at Plainview, December 1974 (Bob Jordan)
