Resource: Rio Grande Track & Maintenance Crew Safety Video

I have another YouTube find, a vintage 1950's safety video for track and maintenance crews put out by D&RGW.  There are slow sections of course that talk about wearing goggles and steel toed shoes, however there are a lot of interesting little tidbits about maintenance crew operations.  The vintage footage is interesting to watch as well.  I was also a bit surprised that they do stunts and try to re-create accidents.  Both steam and diesel are present in the video, most of it is standard gauge.  The film is around 30 minutes long.
