I heard mention in another video about the tunnel. The train attendant said they had to line the lake above it so it would stop the water from leaking down into the tunnel.

The risk of breakdown and diesel inhalation at grossly taken for granted. I don’t trust the filtration system to clear that much smoke out fast enough for an entire passenger train.

My great uncle was David Moffat. Trains are in my blood.

Gosh, nothing was mentioned about the parallel water tunnel which fed Denver, essentially the pilot bore enlarged to carry water.

What a wonderful tunnel and history lesson. Nice to know the Amtrak Zephyr goes through it. I’m excited to have learned this information because my hubby and I are planning a trip on the Zephyr. Many thanks for posting this video.

CPR was the next record holder in 1988 and mount Macdonald is still is the longest railroad tunnel in the western hemisphere after the gotthard base tunnel took away the world title

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

Does the Moffat Tunnel have a door that opens and closes while cleaning out the engine exhaust fumes like the Longer Flathead & Cascade Tunnels?

Anyone know why theres alot of abandoned houses on the east portal? These houses are newer than the tunnel they have wall outlets and crt TV's in them

I love the theme (MAIN LINE THRU THE ROCKYS NOT AROUND THEM).

Little good do Railroads today, no passenger trains to except verry few cities, and to those almost no public bus transport. What is a person to do that does not drive. Build back public transport so Americans can travel without cars as in My case have some other means to go to Phoenix, or Flagstaff to go anywhere. No long distance Public transit to small towns like where I live of 12,00, We must be only conntry bumkinx worth nothing.

From what I've read, this line never did connect to Salt Lake City until well after the Moffat Tunnel was finished, not until after the D&SL was acquired by the D&RGW which built the Dotsero Cutoff connecting this line to the D&RGW Tennessee Pass line finished in 1934.

The tunnel is awesome.

Very interesting to a railroad fan and modeler. Adds modern video to the book The Moffatt Road. Thanks for posting.

My grandfather, Neale A. Pine spent 22yrs as a fan operator at the Moffatt Tunnel East Portal. I used to open up the curtain from inside the fanhouse

Here is a video of the East tunnel entrance showing the complex of portal, ventilation and maintenance structures: ruclips.net/video/OEWXYcVK2yU/видео.html

Interesting footage of those old Burlington Zephyr trainsets. I did not realize that any of those ever travelled this line.

Nice looking trees! We offer a kit with some of the steps already completed...see it at www.coastmans.com Thanks!

Caspia - other names include Statice and Limonium, or sea-lavender.

I truly don't understand how this tunnel does not have many more full length documentaries. I'm fascinated by it ever since discovering the Eastern portal while hiking. For what an incredible marvel it truly is, I feel like it's relatively unknown.

What a wonderful project. So many ahead.

I am a descendant of one of the men killed in an explosion is February 1925. Warren Weaver Wilson, of Coffee County, Alabama, was my maternal Grandfather. Of course, I never knew him. but I would like to place a plaque in his memory.He may have liked to have seen the finished tunnel.

awesome

Where do you find this Cassia

Lookin' good, like a RR video should !

Most interesting. It did look great in HiDef. Thanks for sharing.

Slightly off-topic, I recognise that title music from somewhere... what's it called?

What song are you using for your intro, It's perfect for train videos!

It's a modelling video, not a TV programme. Let's have a little less music.

Thank you for teaching this!
