Many ask why we open up a bit later in the day. This is part of that reason. The volunteers run track cleaning trains every morning before they operate. They also have other things they do to prepare the layout to be ready for operation. Here is a very fast look at the track cleaning trains.

    Some questions, if I may. What are those white stickers (?) on the roof of the SP locomotives for? To identify them as designated Track Cleaning power? Is it one train over the whole system or are there two, each running in opposite directions? Do they clean mainline sidings daily as well, or are sidings cleaned, like, every second day? TIA

    Very fine video! Thanks for sharing! The one thing I'd add is that I wouldn't trust those four locomotives to be anywhere near close in speed even after applying the newly produced speed table. This is a very good trick to get a similar locomotive close! It would be well worth actually checking each one and be surprised and pleased that they are actually close with the updated speed table. 😉 Enjoyed!!! Thanks again!

I enjoyed watching the F-units in the A-B-B-A lash-up for remainder of the video. And, of course, the layout is spectacular! All layouts with their beautiful landscapes (at the CMRM) are enjoyable to watch.

    During the Railblazers runs (mid to late 1980's) most of the flat cars were painted yellow Trailer Train schemes. I visited this layout a few years ago on a trip from Northern Virginia to Utah. Fantastic layout but oregon scenery in Colorado? I was told this is what the guy who funded the layout wanted. I'm a Rio Grande fan so I always enjoy trains that are typical of the 70's and 80's. The Railblazer ran from 1986 and was named based on a "name that train" employee contest at the Rio Grande. By 1986, cabooses were removed from most trains but I'm not complaining since much of my life, cabooses were the norm. City Market grocery trailers were typically on Railblazers, heading to destinations where City Market stores were located, such as Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction CO.
