The Georgetown Loop Railroad!
The narrow gauge Georgetown Loop Railroad was built by the Georgetown, Breckenridge and Leadville Railway, and was completed in 1884 and considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie 2 miles apart in the steep, narrow canyon of Clear Creek in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver. Engineers designed a corkscrew route that traveled nearly twice that distance to connect them, slowly gaining more than 600 feet in elevation. The route included horseshoe curves, grades of up to 4%, and four bridges across Clear Creek, including the massive Devil's Gate High Bridge.

On August 2, 2024, we caught Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad's K-36 489 as it climbed the grade to Cumbres Pass from Chama, New Mexico. In 2021, work was completed on the conversion to burn oil but was taken out of service in 2023 for extensive work on its running gear and firebox. In May of 2024, we caught it fired up and moving during the opening day of the season. The locomotive is now back...

On July 31, 2024, we traveled to Durango, Colorado to catch the 9 AM train as it heads to Silverton. Today, 476 and 493 double head the 15 cars filled with travelers enjoying a perfect Colorado morning. I've shot these locations before, but I wanted to try some slightly different drone perspectives and I'm pleased with the results. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to the channel! www.du...

Officially known as the Santa Fe Branch of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, The narrow gauge Chili Line ran from Antonito, Colorado, to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The D&RG began construction of the line in 1880 and completed the line from Antonito, Colorado, to Española, New Mexico, and finally to Santa Fe in 1886. The line closed in 1941 due to competition from road transportation. On Augu...

Chicago!

In June, we visited Chicago, Illinois and one of the things I wanted to see was this! We've all seen this iconic location with the trains coming out of Union Station with 110 story Willis Tower in the background. It was 94 F on that bridge but worth the time I spent waiting for Amtrak 5, the westbound California Zephyr to start its journey to Emeryville, CA. There's always something going on he...
Loaded Coal at Larkspur!

As we were traveling south on I25 between Denver and Raton, we noticed a loaded coal train near Larkspur. This is a beautiful area and I got off the highway and set up the camera. The Colorado Joint Line is a railway corridor in Colorado running north-south between Denver and Pueblo. Presently the tracks are owned by the BNSF Railway and the Union Pacific Railroad and operated jointly. The firs...

Located at the end of Main St. in Cassandra, PA, the railroad overlook sits at Milepost 255.8 on Norfolk Southern’s Pittsburgh Line. Looking to the west, one can see and hear trains climbing the mountain for 2 miles or more. The view to the east gives you a sweeping downgrade curve perfect for photos. The walking bridge currently in place was built in 1936 as a replacement to a two lane wooden ...

In June of 2024, we took an extended trip to the east coast and visited a number of interesting railroad locations and museums. The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is located on 18 acres in Strasburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The area is beautiful with rolling hills and Amish farms. This museum is one of the best I’ve ever visited. The museum's collection has more than 100 historic locom...

This invitation-only event was created to invite the media to find out what it’s like to ride this beautiful train, and to thank those of us that contributed to the railroad’s social media takeover during the year. We arrived at Chama shortly after 7AM to take the motor coach to Antonito. It...

From the end of October to the end of May, the yard of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is mostly a cold, quiet place.

Hello Thomas, a very nice video of the Georgetown Loop Railroad. This bridge and the steam train crossing it are fantastic, superbly filmed. Thanks for showing it and have a nice Sunday. Best regards, Wolfgang
Glad you enjoyed it, Wolfgang!
Remarkable and a marvel of beauty.
Indeed! Thanks for watching, Dom!
I got to visit the place with my family back in June as it only 40 minutes away from where we were vacationing for a week in Colorado.
Thanks this close to where I live, Denver. 👍👍
I lived in Denver for years and never visited the Georgetown Loop. I made it a point to stop there in July on our Big Boy trip. It was fun to see!
Thanks for sharing. I rode the train for the first time yesterday. It was a grand experience. I would do it again when the aspens are golden.
Glad you enjoyed the ride! We're going to go back to photograph when the aspens turn. It's the best time of the year!
Sweet video. sadly this unit is now stored and up for sale due to freeze damage.
That is sad. I always feel like it may be the last time I photograph one of these when I see them. Sadly it sometimes is.
Szép videó lett!😀👍
Thank you!
Hello Thomas, a fantastic video of my favorite narrow gauge railway. Great filming, thanks for showing and kind regards Wolfgang
Thank you, Wolfgang! It's my favorite too!
Beautiful steam locomotive traversing a picturesque landscape, captured beautifully at 12:20. Exceptional black and white photography and always great aerial footage.
Thank you, Dom. This one was a lot of fun to shoot!
Nice blending of music and sound in the video work. This railroad is such a part of so many bucket lists. It never disappoints and always provides so much enjoyment to the passengers. You captured a great moment in time. Good job.
Thank you very much!
Great video and photography and sound. Thanks enjoyed watching. Awesome drone shots. 👍‼️‼️
Thank you very much. This was a fun one to do!
@@YardLimit Glad you enjoyed your trip. 👍👍
I have been on this Railroad line & it was well worth the price! The day I rode, there was a large group of Speeders traveling on that same time, just before our train pulled out!! That Club had the Most different types of Speeders I have ever seen!!!
If it was September 9, 2022, we were there too! ruclips.net/video/1DwgiruSp4k/видео.html
Fantastic views! Thank you.
Thank you too!
was there a reason for the double heading or do they do that alot?>
It depends on the number of cars they are pulling. In this case the railroad needed to add an extra engine due to the number of cars.
Thanks for another great video!
Thank you for watching, David!
Hello Thomas, this double traction of the K28# 473 and the K37#493 with passenger train is great. Great film, thank you for showing it and kind regards Wolfgang
Thanks, Wolfgang! It was a great day to chase this train!
I have a quick question about your scanner setup. Did you get an SMA to BNC adapter to pair that laird antenna with your 125at?
No, the Laird has a BNC connector. I understand they are getting hard to find and one guy posting on TrainOrders said he got an adapter and it works fine.
@@YardLimit oh ok. Thanks!
@@YardLimit Do you know if it would make a difference if I got an EXH160BN (160-170mhz) vs the EXH160SMV which is 155-165mhz
it is possible that the 160BN is also 155-165mhz and is just labeled wrong on the website I'm on
I don’t know the answer to either of your previous two questions. You might ask the antenna maker or perhaps some online forum.
That video was taken one day after I went on the Durango and Silverton! My train was lead by 493&476!
Cool!
The locations are fantastic, the view is breathtaking, and the aerial footage is truly remarkable.
Thank you very much, Dom!
Awesome footage, great locations!
Thanks!
Wish they bring back the Chili Railroad Line!
It didn't even make money when it was built.
Awesome catches!
Thanks!
Great locations, great use of drones and editing!!! Very enjoyable.
Thank you very much!
I remember the last time I was on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, it was also my first double header on this railroad with K-28’s 473 and 476, the year was 2022 and not only that, I also came across this railroad employee who works on the railroad and I learned about him that he actually likes the K-28 class locomotives better than the K-36 and K-37 class.
K-28's are cool.
Great video! I also like the drone scenery, it's interesting seeing the landscape from up high!! Fantastic job!!! ❤️
Thank you very much!
Good morning sir, what fantastic view of the two trains. Great shots and great photography too.👍👍‼️‼️
Thank you. I got some video I had been thinking about for awhile and I think it worked out pretty well.
@@YardLimit Well done.
Szép videó!😀 Nyomtam egy nagy like!👍
Thank you!
WOW, that's sure is pretty!! I wish that I had taken that ride when I was there!!!
Well, you can always go back!
@@YardLimit<I can only dream about it! It really sucks when you get old & blind (in my case), I don't recommend it for the young!!!
A steam locomotive is like a magnet when it comes to attracting interest. The sounds, the smells, and the mechanical complexity of big wheels turning have me hooked!
Me too, especially when they're starting to move.
In the right place at the right time couldn't have worked out any better. Great video and thank you! I live much closer to the east coast and hope one day to be able to experience being close up to that massive machine. I love steam engines of all kinds including stationary and traction engines but am especially fond of steam locomotives.
Thanks for the comments. You have some nice steam engines near the east coast, but seeing 4014 running at track speed in the open spaces of Wyoming was pretty cool.
It was any first time riding and not just chasing. It was a great one. Good to see you trackside.
That's cool! Hope it was a successful trip for you. I've seen some great photos from that day. Glad I was there to catch the departure for you and the rest of the photographers.
Awesome and amazing aerial footage.
Thanks Dom! It's one of my favorite places to fly.
Thanks great video of the #463. 👍👍
Thanks!

Hello there you probably know.me.or don't know me but I'm a new mexican railfan and I spoke with herzog there removing all of the semaphore signals left in new mexico
I heard that. Yesterday was the last day for the ones on the NMRX property up to Lamy.
I thought bnsf banned sd70aces from leading trains does to apply to bnsf or other sd70aces from leading trains
I guess it depends on which locomotive it is. SD70ACe-P6 Built in 2012, these units have one inverter per axle on the trucks and can lead trains. SD70ACe-T4 This model can lead trains, as shown in a photo of a Union Pacific coal train in Lake Forest, Illinois. Other SD70ACe locomotives Some SD70ACe locomotives are not approved for leading trains because of their rattling cab, which has earned them the nickname "Thundercabs".
480 has the best whistle!
12:45 Why is the Whistle So Loud And Newly High Tone 😮
Hello Thomas, fantastic video of the Big Boy 4014.🚂❤ I am thrilled by this great steam locomotive from UNION PACIFIC. I wish you a good week and warm greetings from Germany.🍀🙋♂
Thank you for the kind words, Wolfgang!
Great job. Yet it just disgusts me that the youth of today has NO RESPECT for private property and continually and consistently seeks to "mark" rail cars for no such intelligent purpose.
I agree. Some of the work is really fantastic from an art perspective but I've never understood why rail cars attract those people. Thanks for watching, David!
Great video! What are your thoughts on Amtrak’s Phase VII scheme? (The scheme that P42DC no. 75 currently wears)
I really like the Phase VII scheme. I always disliked the Phase V livery.
Awesome! I’m going to find it this fall hopefully
Good luck!
@@YardLimitthanks!
Awesome, I admire how Big Boy appears right after the UP grain train passes by.👍
I was sweating that one out!
Szép videó lett!😀 Nyomtam egy nagy like!👍

614 with the former Santa Fe
Very true
Who else notices how Beautiful 480’s Whistle Sounds!
I was actually in Durango Yesterday on the Train!
That's exciting!
Hello Thomas, an interesting video from the track area of Chicago station. We don't have anything like that where a train has to stop because an employee switches the switch by hand. Something like that would be impossible in Germany at such large stations. Here it's done electronically. Thanks for showing and have a good week. Best wishes, Wolfgang
Most switches in the US are switched by a dispatcher that can be many miles away. I don't know why the Chicago yard is still requiring manual switching. Thanks for watching and commenting, Wolfgang!
Awesome catches!
Glad you enjoyed it
