Welcome to SimWell Production and
GoDurango.COM's Video section

In order to view these videos, you need to have the Real Player 8.0 You can download it for free here Please note: sometimes Real Networks changes this hyperlink. In this case, please click here and look for "Our Free Player"

We will have a large assortment of videos in the near future. We are providing just a few for the time being. We will also be providing video footage which you may download and play at your desire sometime in the near future.

One thing you may notice is that the videos with lots of action will appear blurry. This is because we have slowed them down to 30 kbs. We will be adding larger videos in the coming weeks for those of you with faster connections. We are also in the process of creating a Durango Multimedia CD-ROM with lots of good video footage. We will be posting more information about this CD-ROM in the near future.

Train Videos

new2.gif (2411 bytes)This is a new form of Real Video using a technology called SURE STREAM. The video will match whatever quality you have set your Real Player to play. If you have fast connection this video quality is awesome. If you have a poor connection the quality isn't as good. If you're not sure how to set your Real Player quality click here.

Train Scene on Highway

See the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge on Highway 550. It appears as though the train is racing the videographer but in reality the car was pacing the train alongside the highway. The first part of the video is followed up with a scene as the train approached the Highway overpass on Highway 550. Please note: You will need the Real Player 8.0 in order to see the videos.
