This clip from "The Great Desert Railroad Race" tells about the "Galloping Goose" which served the Death Valley region when the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad began going bust. For those that lived in Death Valley country it was the beginning of the end for the railroad. For years the Tonopah & Tidewater was not just a way to get borax to the railhead it was a lifeline to one of the most remote and forbidding deserts on the planet. Residents remember with affection the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad and what it meant to them. Find the full film at www.goldcreekfilms.com or www.deathvalleyvideos.com
