Interesting Feature With Some Nice Scenery
The Georgetown Loop in Colorado was apparently a favored site for some of cinema's early pioneers, and you can see why - the scenery is both interesting and attractive. This 1903 feature does a good job both in picking up a lot of sights worth seeing, and in conveying the motion of the train that is carrying the camera.
The main point of the feature is just the scenery, but some of the vistas that come into view could hardly have been better chosen if they had been carefully set up as still photos. There are also a couple of amusing shots when the train rounds a bend, and some of the cars come into the camera's field of view. While it's certainly nothing spectacular, it's a pleasant feature, and a worthwhile look at some sights from over 100 years ago.
