Love this train. Rode it once when I was a kid back in the coal burning days. Leaned out the open car to look at the engine on an inside curve and got cinders in my eyes. It’s a beautiful trip through the mountains. We camped around Silverton every summer when I was growing up and always stopped to put some coins on the track to get smashed by the train.
I LOVE YOU FOOTAGE. I was afraid that forest fire in the long term was going to finished off this operation. Glad to see this line expanding it s operations once again. I never got down to the wye in Silverton to watch them turn the train...GREAT SHOT!
Felt like yesterday that every single K36 on the railroad had some sort of 5 chime (with every single one except 481 having a D&RGW 5 chime). Now there’s a much broader whistle selection which gives different identities to the locomotives and I’m happy to see it
Well all the 5 chimes are worn out due to most being used consistently for over 20 years, 30 in some cases. It is pretty cool hearing unusual whistles on the railroad now.
Very neat trip. I’ve done this three times and burger and a beer at Handle bars in Silverton really hits the spot. A word of advice to those who haven’t made this trip. Take the bus back to your starting point if you’re on a tight schedule.
I was there on that day in August. I had a cab ride in the K-28. I remember the 480 had that terrible hissing sound. Our conductor said the roundhouse crew couldn’t figure it out.
I was actually riding the 9:00 train on the 27th! Something interesting that happened was that while 480 pulled the train up, when they reached Silverton she was developing pipe issues, so they decided to swap engines so that they could get 480 back sooner, meaning that I got a ride behind both of the oil burning K36’s since 482 pulled the 9:00 train back
I’m not sure if the Reading 6 chime used on No. 480 is the same model as the one used on the C&TS, but it sounds way better than how it did in the 90s.
Too bad they had to give up coal. Lived in Aztec NM when D&RGW was running freight. It ran through the high school and would lay a layer of smoke through the school twice a day. Great memories.
@@brianfalzon6739That whistle that 493 had in 2020 was a custom made Nathan 6 Chime, it had Lunkenheimer valve and the bowl on the bottom was a Southern Pacific replica
481 is still a coal burner and runs in the winter or non drought conditions, and it will likely stay a coal burner as the D&S wants to keep at least 1 loco as a coal burner
@@basictransportenthusiast4386 I believe their goal is 100% oil. 481 will also be converted. And I will be converted from not patronizing the D&S. Simple as that.
Be thankful they are still able to operate regardless. It either was gonna be oil powered steam or no steam whatsoever, so be thankful for how lucky they got.
I love this! I love the 482 and its nice to see the 480 back.

10:45 nice shot me on the air! Was a fun day with the folks who chartered the Nomad, nicely done video 👍👍
Thank you for your kind words! Caught me off guard seeing Nomad on the consist, looked like a lot of fun.
480's reading 6 chime whistle sounds like the Strasburg 90's whistle for the Strasburg Railroad.
It really doesn't.
Last year in august I rode behind 480. Her 6 chime is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard
Reading 6-chime on 480?

Yeah and 481 still has a 5 chime last I checked
Amazing video, great job!
Glad you enjoyed!
Me yega esas máquinas me acuerdo mucho cuando era joven gracias desde honduras
I have no clue what whistle is on 480, sounds really good though, kinda like a reading six
This is some high class content! keep it up man!
It's a custom shortbell Reading 6 Chime cast by one of the crew members from D&S is what I've been told. And thank you for your kind words!
A;ways excellent to watch...

I did witness the crews switching out the locomotives in Silverton, never knew what was up, thanks for the info.

Completely different whistle.
@@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks I made a whole video on that whistle go check it out
@@TheSteamGuy5125 I saw that video not too long ago.
@@T128Productions what did you think
Yeah the one on the C&TS was last on a loco in 2004 and it sounded real bad
Такой веселенький гудок😊❤❤❤❤

That RDG 6 Chime sounds a bit like an ACL 6 Chime.
That RDG 6 Chime on 480 reminds of the one that was on 493!
That wasn't one on 493!
@@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks my mistake

The Frankenstein 6 chime
Is there something wrong with that locomotive? What's with that extra puff of air?
The cylinders were having a little bit of trouble. The issue has been resolved recently.

I miss when these locomotives burned coal. They just don't quite look the same as oil burners.

Coal plants are becoming more rare, as the country eventually wants to move away from burning coal all together.
