@@careless3241 STEAM locomotives Need water to make STEAM ! And they use SAND on the rails to increase traction ! Inspection cars like THIS ONE have Gasoline Engines for Power ! And need GASOLINE to power them NOT WATER , unless your RADIATOR leaks as this one seems to !! 😁
They Don't Spray WATER on the Rails either They are there to watch for fires caused by sparks ,yes AFTER the train leaves Hence they FOLLOW the train from a distance
@@Wilett614 The radiator is just a water jacket around the cylinder. The high altitude and grade are the reasons for the higher temperature of the engine. The timing could be off slightly increasing the temperature. The timing is by a cam on the crankshaft closing a switch to create the spark from a coil box. This is a very simple system, very similar to an old Model T.
I think some parts of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid were shot using the Durango train to. I think they even built a fake tunnel somewhere around the hi-line too for the train robbery scene.
He's running with the timer in full advance which reduces the horsepower and runs the engine hot which boils off more water. With the same engine I can do two round trips on that track without adding water.
Too bad you didn't include information on how someone could look up site's to purchase a speedster rail car, in the purpose of promoting the hobby of ownership of one of these great pieces of railroad history.
@@jrayproductions7790 Hey Dupa, I was not critical in my comment. I was just asking for additional information on where someone could find a unit to become involved in such a cool hobby. All that I was asking is, in your future videos, include additional information on how to obtain a rail unit, and give the names of club's that someone could join. Expanding the hobby, and people wanting to become involved in that hobby. Asswipe.
should be made to do calisthenics and paperwork while on the job..... nobody else gets to have fun, either that or you'll have to quit that job so i can have it.
Those units were built in Montreal for use on the White Pass but never delivered. The US Gypsum Company bought 3 to use on their mine-to-mill railroad at Plaster City, CA and the D&SNG got the rest. They are 100 tons on 6 axles on 3-foot gauge.
SAE30 oil is mixed with gasoline for fuel as this engine is a 2-cycle. I think the mix is 1 cup of oil to 1 gallon of gas. The SAE30 is also used for lubricating the other points on the car. That car is the narrow-gage version of a M19. I have a standard-gauge B4 with the same engine.
That sounds like it needs piston rings replaced in the engine of that mini train workers husker vehicle to me guys for sure. I seen the man having to push it to get it to take off to. Its from low piston ring compression is the reason why to.
The engine on these cars can be started by the crank or pushing. They can be reversed by cutting out the ON switch and letting the engine coast till almost a stop and closing the switch at the correct time with the timing lever in the start position for the other direction and it will fire and run the other way. There is a belt drive from the engine pully to the pully on the wheel axle. The belt tension is the transmission.
All I saw was a rail line that should not be carrying paid passengers. Al Harper will end up killing you if something isn't done about the condition of this business. I have lived in Durango for 35 years, and even back in my early days, I wouldn't take this trip

I used to work for the railroad, driving the 334 up to Silverton and back . Best job I ever had 🙂🙂🙂
Why did you quit?

@@joebeal4212 Damn im sorry to hear that. Hope you do better now :)
Great video! It's the reason it's one of my two favorite railroads to run on, the other being the Cumbres & Toltec.
Glad you enjoyed this!
Excellent behind the scenes view! Thank you. Has to be my most favorite railroad journey.
I was on that trip on the rail when I a kid. Thank you for sharing.
GORGEOUS scenery awesome video

Excellent. Very well done. A railroad with CLASS.
Excellent video. Been on this train trip. Awesome.
Spectacular views!
Great video, I wanna quit my job and work on the tourist line 😂
SUPER VIDÉO !!!!
SUPER BEAUTYFULL COUNTRY !!!!
Great video. We did the train ride summer 2020, had a great time.
THAT FOOTAGE AT 9:43! amazing!
Good to see 493 back running again. I think it was sitting on a siding in Silverton last time I was up there.
..S O S O FREAKING BEAUTIFUL 😯😄😃💪🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Love the music as well as the video!
Tell me how I literally rode this train yesterday and didn't take my phone and today it's somehow on my fyp
Fantastic video

Awesome!!!
I "Thought" Only STEAM locomotives NEED water to Operate !! Lol
The water probably isn't to power it. They spray water on the tracks in front of the wheels to dampen sparks. Prevents wildfires

My dad rode one of those for many years.
saves the view of the river of lost souls for last, what the hey ?
Making me homesick
Watch the movie "support your local sheriff". Starring James Garner. You will see more about the "Durango narrow gage railways".

Seems as if yall had some radiator issues
Very cool video though

Well, you're commenting. Why don't YOU include some info, if it means that much to you, instead of only offering criticisms.
Turd.

Just go online and type in RR speeders for sale.
You may., might be surprised by the outcome to. Let it get low some first before adding it in to the engine motor oil.
Why do you have to play all that music instead of letting us hear the natural noise? Foolish.
Railroad size 1 meter?
3 Foot Gauge

Looks like they inherited Skagways locomotives.
Those units were built in Montreal for use on the White Pass but never delivered. The US Gypsum Company bought 3 to use on their mine-to-mill railroad at Plaster City, CA and the D&SNG got the rest. They are 100 tons on 6 axles on 3-foot gauge.
Try adding in some bars stop leak oil treatment into oil from STP.

Look like there trying to pour water in with the cap still on the condenser
Pouring on the radiator to cool it down.

Sign me up. Too bad my M19 is standard gauge.
De pelos el viaje me sentí como el octavo pasajero.
When you go there be sure to wear warm jacket. The town, Silverton, always either rain or cold.
Couldn't enjoy this video because of the "music" it didn't add to the video instead it did just the opposite.
no offence but u actually made this unwatchable with the music. The original audio is far superior
It would be much better without the music.
Really enjoird the ride !
Get rid of the square headlights
Why have music? 100% better with natural sound!
Please ditch the music.

It's safer than you imply.
I have riden it several times and was not worried at all!
