Elizabeth, it was about a year ago ( via this RUclips channel) when you had difficulty breathing just getting up for the day. I prayed for healing as you struggled to even talk. Prayers have been answered as there is such joy in your whole being and you are just glowing ! Traveling through your eyes is a special blessing with such a beautiful transformation!
Bill, you are such a talented man. God has blessed both of you and together you are a blessing to so many. Thank you for sharing your travel adventures as they have been stellar and encouraged my husband and I to travel to the areas you are exploring !
Thank you 😀
It is so wonderful to see Elizabeth doing well!! Thank you God for her healing!!!
You will never know how much I appreciate and ENJOY your videos of your travels! I've always loved to travel and see and learn about new places. But I'm confined to a wheelchair and since my precious husband went home to Heaven, I'm also confined to my home. My daughter takes me to doctor's appointments every 5 to 6 months and once in a while we go to lunch afterward. Your adventures are just wonderful. Thank you!!
I let my dad ride from Durango to Silverton, but I couldn't afford both of us to ride. Thanks for taking us along what a beautiful trip!
I'm so glad you're enjoying them!
Thank you Elizabeth and Bill for taking us with you on your vacation trip!! We love you guys and we enjoy every video you make! We can't travel because of our health, but every time you share a trip with us, we feel like we are there with you. That way, we can see places that we always wanted to visit, but couldn't be able to go!! Thank you! God bless you! We share your videos with our family members and friends! ❤🙏🙏👍👏👏
What fun!!!! I'm so glad that you both are enjoying your adventure. Thanks for taking me along.😊
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for sharing!. This is something I would never get to do in my lifetime and I feel like I was right along with you. Some of that even made me queasy. That was quite a drop off. How beautiful! God bless. Thank you again
Absolutely incredible!!! Can you imagine laying that track? No wonder there were so many deaths on the railroad. Thank you for sharing this beautiful train ride. Loved it.
Thanks so much for taking me along on this gorgeous train ride! So breathtaking!!
Absolutely Gorgeous!!! Thanks for taking us along, remember Bill “Happy wife, happy life!”🥰
Glad that you’re slowing down, so very important.
I just want to say that Elizabeth just makes me smile! She’s so much like me when I’m going somewhere new! She had such a wonderful time on the train and you could see the beautiful excitement in her! She’s just beautiful! She makes me smile! Thank you Elizabeth! I really needed to smile today…
Sending a big hug! ❤️😊
The train doesn’t honk because it’s entertaining to its passengers. It’s law that it honks at every intersection as a safety precaution. It warns others of its presence and that it is driving through. It saves lots of lives.
The ride looked great! I’m glad you were able to enjoy it. You really need to go to the Grand Canyon! You would love that too.
Yes, the whistle blows at every intersection.
We’ve been to the Grand Canyon, many years ago.
I always assumed that was why. It just makes sense.
Beautiful scenery! I love trains! Thanks for taking us along!
Hi Bill and Elizabeth,
I was lucky enough to ride that train ( in the winter) when I lived in Crownpoint, New Mexico. In the winter, it did not go the whole distance. My friend and I stayed at a lovely old hotel in Durango. The scenery was GORGEOUS and I am so glad that I was able to make that trip! This was about 5 years ago in the winter. So, our trip went up and back to Durango. Elizabeth in Texas
Elisabeth, your expessions and joy are so childlike and sweet. It's evident you are seeing and giving Our Father all the glory for His gifts of majestic beauty to us. Imagine what's waiting for us down the road unseen😂😂😂😊😊
Oh, yes! You are so right. 😊❤️
This was probably my favorite vacation destination of all time. I've been lots of places in my 50 years on this earth. I can't recommend it more!❤️🚂
Thank you for all you do to make sure we get to enjoy what you're seeing and doing! That was SUCH and incredibly AMAZING adventure! God bless!❤
thank you for sharing the majesty of this country
I lived in Durango back in 1979 . I loved the place . I loved the video .♥️
Your train ride reminds me of the movie
"Rooster Cogburn" with John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn; when they were riding the horses through the canyons and running down the river trying to escape with their Gatling gun on the raft.!
It was a very exciting and beautiful ride.! Thank you for taking us along with you.!!
❤🎉😊
Y’all are so uplifting. Thank you.
How clean and blue the river looks 💙
I love the old steam engines not many around Canada anymore enjoy bill and Elizabeth what a thrill.
Million dollar highway leads you into Ourray. Nice. While in Silverton visit the cemetery the headstones from mining accidents are very poetic. What impresses me is the strength and tenacity to build these railroads and what the miners did to dig for gold and silver. So many mines in that southwest part of Colorado. We use to Jeep around that area.
Thank you guys for taking me along with you on this trip. I am afraid of heights and would never go on a ride like this. You have allowed me to enjoy this trip with you from the comfort of my living room. Even in my chair I got a few willies from the views you shared. The only this missing is the beautiful fragrance of those wonderful trees. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it
Me too.
Thanks for filming this. I would not seen it otherwise because I would have had my eyes closed for most of it due to those drop-offs. Beautiful scenery.
Thank you Bill and Elizabeth for the train excursion, that scenery was just absolutely priceless. I appreciate every video you are publishing for our viewing, you are more than wonderful to share with us.
WOW. Absolutely loving your trip. Thank you for taking us along. Elizabeth, I love your big beautiful smile. Wish I was there with you.
That was absolutely perfect for some "unwind" time I needed. Just the (free) ticket :) ❤
What a great adventure. Thank you for taking us along. I get like that, too. Sometimes, I don't want to do something that my daughter wants to do, but like Elisabeth, Samatha is also a great influence, lol ❤ and I always end up enjoying the activity. Finding out that Bill really didn't want to go but did anyways because he knew Elisabeth did is even more charming to know. Til next time, God bless..
That train ride is now on my bucket list! Thank you for bringing it to us!
Oh I love train rides! That looks amazing!
Thank you for taking us on your trip! My husband and I did a road trip just as you are doing and it has brought back so many great memories and seeing the beauty of the USA. Everyone should experience this! It is amazing and so hard to explain or see with photos and videos. You have to experience it all in person the beauty is beyond words as you say! God bless you both and be safe as you travell! There is an amazing feeling of well being from the energy from all the mountains that it gives you!
Hi guys, this is Betty and I watch y’all all the time. My husband and I are going to go in September and I cannot wait. Love you both and Elizabeth you are beautiful as usual. Love you both…please be careful in all you4 travels. I hope I can manage this I an 76.
I was lucky enough to have great parents and they took me on that train in 1971. It was amazing. The memories have lasted me a life time for sure. ❤
This was delightful! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. We don’t vacation for various reasons so I vacation vicariously through folks like you. The last vacation I remember taking was with our church youth group in the 70’s when I was around 15 years old & I will be 66 this coming Labor Day. Two marriages & never been on a honeymoon even. 🤷♀️
I thoroughly enjoy your blogs & look forward to seeing them.
Thank you again & many hugs & blessings.
I remember riding up from Silverton about 55 years ago ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved the scenery!! All the way up I was saying "I think I can, I think I can." and on the way down "I thought I could, I thought I could!" I wish I could have been with you but living it through you and with you is almost as good. Thank you so very much!!
Thank y'all so much for taking us with you on your train ride and other adventures. I'm 75 and disabled but just bought a very used minivan but doubt I'll ever get to go there.
Y'all keep having fun. 🙏🙏🙏
My husband and I the took this train 52 years ago and would love to go back. Elisabeth you are an inspiration to me.
Think you for taking us along
My niece lives there !! Glad I watched the video now I see why my niece loves living in Durango.
Wow stunning views there! So excited y'all get to experience the wonder and the beauty. Enjoy yourselves and much much thanks to you both for this video! ❤❤😊
Thank you both, for taking us along, sure loving it. Beautiful trip.
We lived in Colorado for 2 years and never knew about the Durango train ride...It looks AMAZING, Thank you for taking us on the train trip. Blessings to you both. Happy and Safe travels 💕💕🙏🙏☝
Thank you for showing us the beautiful scenic views!
We wanted to go there years ago. We enjoyed the video so much. Beautiful
I love that train ride! We’ve been on it 3 times over the years! Great video!
Bill and Elizabeth. What a wonderful train ride. I loved it. I found myself sitting in my living room arm chair and holding on for dear life looking over some of those close drop-offs. Love, Love, Love this adventure.
We had friends come visit us from Tennessee a few years ago and took a steam train ride from Big Valley Alberta to Stettler. We had a lovely dinner set up for us in Stettler and walked the town before heading back on the ride back we had a fake train robbery with guys on horseback who boarded the train and pretended to rob us but actually gave us stuff and let us take pictures of them Then a pretend sheriff❤ boarded the train and the robbers took off. It was the highlight of the trip and our friends never forgot that adventure. 😂 I totally understand your excitement. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.
Such a gorgeous trip!!! You took me back to one family vacation when the family of 6 took the train from Durango to Silverton and back. I'm in my 60s now, was 11 when we did it. Never forgot looking down to the raging Animas River so far below, so close to actual flood stage that the rapids thundered. It has been a rainy time, though not on the day we sat in the open cars too. It was so beautiful. We left our campground a day early because it kept raining, and we had rented a camper/tent in a KOA campground right on the banks of the Animas, and the water kept getting closer and closer to the tent. The day after we left, heading back to Denver (where we lived), the Animas flooded some of the tents along the river, including what had been ours. All these years later, not a lot has changed. Thank you for reviving all those precious memories.
😊❤️
We travelled a couple of times while the kids were little. Now that they're grown up, we've travelled just a little bit. We've decided that when we travel, we're driving no more than about 5 hours a day--and not every day. The goal will be to enjoy the places we travel to--and through--and not cover distance.
That’s what we’re working on as well. 😀👍
That is how like like to travel. Unfortunately, my husband is gold oriented. How far can he go in what time with the fewest stops!!!!!! Aaaaargh! We are in our 70s and he won’t slow down.
If I want to see the country, I travel
With a girlfriend. We stop and enjoy what we can find. We have found so many unexpected places!
That will encourage another trip at another time,to see what you missed! You both look so good, this life style seems to really suit and I am so happy for you! The scenery is so beautiful, it brings back so many memories of our travels with the children, all grown now! God bless, happy travels to two wonderful friends! You bless so many people🙏🏻🕊️💖
20yrs ago husband and I stayed in Silverton one night and took the train next day to Durango. Stayed in a historic victorian hotel on main street and husband took bus back to Silverton to get car while I took the day to shop in Durango for the day. It was in the fall and cool, so we rode in an inclosed car. Thanks for the memories.
In the next video we will be in Silverton. 😀
Oh, thank you for taking us along on this special trip. You made our Friday night date night so special. It seems that the weather was just perfect for this excursion. What a blessing!
😮😮😮😮 I felt as if I was on that train. Those steep moments 😱😱😱😱😱
They told us on the ride up through the canyon that the builders allowed NO PHOTOGRAPHY during the construction of the track for fear that financial backers would pull their money from the project, due to safety concerns! ❤️🚂
Loved this! Thanks for the ride! 🙏😁✌❤
I’ve ridden the Narrow Gauge Siverton train several times. Amazing! My husband and I honeymooned in Durango.💕
Oh my goodness!! Durango is one of my favorite places in the world! Colorado is truly special!
What a great place and adventure..thanks for taking us with you...greetings from Sweden🇸🇪
I am enjoying being along with y'all as you travel. What a joy for me to experience this beauty through the videos. Thank you and God Bless you.
Thank you for taking us on that ride.
Wow..been many years since I visited Durango !! A family wedding took us to Colorado!! Brings back memories!!
Wow, such beauty! Listening and viewing this trip reminded me of my late teens and early 20s of backpacking in the High Sierra's in California. I could almost smell the Ponderosa's as you mentioned. Your video is truly awesome. Thank you so much for sharing it. Blessings, Wayne
gorgeous ! Was there 20 years ago. Elizabeth is wearing her lunch, lol !!
Your photography skills and quality of your camera have created a fantastic montage of your trip. The gorgeous scenery of mountains, canyons, creeks, waterfalls and landscape are breathtaking. I honestly felt I was on that train with you. I've never seen such beautiful scenery except when I once visited Switzerland in 1968. Today is my birthday and I couldn't have received a better gift than this video!! Thanks so much for taking me along for the ride! ❤
Thank you very much. Happy birthday! 😀
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree Thanks so much 💗💗
Happy birthday.!🎉❤😊@@spoly8139
*Such beautiful views from the train!*
🙂👍⚘️⚘️
Loved coming along on the train ride! My husband and I aren’t able to travel but we would love to. It means a lot to see all this. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for letting me see Colorado I lived there when I was in my twenties and I'm in my 70s and I raised my children there and you went through the Arkansas River I lived in Canyon City Colorado it's a very small town for over 20 years so thank you for your blessing to let me see what it looks like today
Beautiful scenery that only God could create!
As the train was rounding some very steep curves my nerves were on edge but at the same time I'm in awe of all the beauty to be seen:)
We took that train to silverton when our boys were young. It was in the fall and was a beautiful trip! We also did that trip on our honeymoon 33 years ago😃
I’ve had the pleasure of taking this train a few times. Absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing.
So fun to travel with you. Thank You!!
Our family took a train ride in that area years ago. We loved it! Its such a beautiful area!!! Thanks for sharing. I wish I could go again.
A beautiful trip. Amazing views and thinking of those thousands of pounds of train on those tracks and literally at the edge of that drop off cliff side.......unbelievable. Such amazing machines. We have a beautiful country we live in, thank you for sharing. Absolutely take your time and rest as you need.........we aren't as young as we were and yet we are young enough to take in all or any of the sights.......it just might take a day or two longer........Peace be with you and enjoy all the beautiful scenery! God bles!
Yes rode the train thru' Silverton several years ago & met some nice people that we stayed in touch with!!! Thx for the share! 😊
We drove the Telluride to Grand Junction route a few years ago. It was the most beautiful and terrifying drive we ever took in a car. Thanks for sharing your train ride. Brings back some very nice memories.
That was a fun train ride. Thanks for taking me along.
Thank you for taking us on your trip. I retire from dental hygiene in March 2025 and I cannot wait to add this trip on our excursions ❤
Elizabeth will breathe so much better in the state of Colorado because I went there when I was 20 because I had bronchitis and emphysema and guess what it was gone because of the air I hope she does well and be happy and enjoy your vacation
I’ve done very well! 😊
We did the RT trip 3 separate times. Love it. It's kind of addicting!🙏😊
thank you so much for this video,the scenery was soooo beautiful,ive decided to put this on my bucket list also,it brought back memories of my dad,he loved steam trains,rip dad
Thank you so much for taking us along, what a beautiful area!
So beautiful! God's wonderful creation!
I live in NZ so will never get to see these sights & I am so enjoying travelling along with you. Thank you for your excellent videos. It's amazing scenery.
Beautiful!!! Those drop offs were jaw dropping. My grands and I went on The Polar Express out of Durango one Christmas!
Totally amazing and to have the steam locomotive. Looking straight down feet from the track makes my stomach flip. lol. Can you imagine building the railroad. Beautiful video
You definitely made me want to do this. My stepmom’s niece lives there and her son works for the RR. He’s 19 and he drives a small train car behind the train to do maintenance and make sure that everything is working well. It’s a fantastic job. He’s a fantastic kid. So now I’ve had two different sources this summer that have made me want to do this!
Just… do it! 😀
I so enjoyed the train ride, thank you so much. The scenery is breathtaking. Safe travels. Love and prayers. Lou
That's smart! We have traveled full time in our RV for the past 8 years. When we first started out, we tried to see everything and do everything. We quickly learned to slow down and visit fewer sights but actually enjoy them more! Loved the train ride. We have done a similar one near Jerome in Arizona. Those views are breathtaking!
I have been on that train ride twice. I really enjoyed it!!!
Oh my goodness, what an adventure. Thanks for the views ❤❤❤
I did that 45 years ago...was so much fun!!!! Also scary!😮
What a adventure you guys. Thanks for taking us along! God Bless...
What a beautiful train journey.thank you for the wonderful ride
What a beautiful ride through that canyon!! Absolutely gorgeous!!
Thanks so much for sharing your travels!!
Virginia is for lovers!! ❤
❤ I love trains…I SO enjoyed travelling on the train with you! Beautiful journey!
Wow that train ride was so much fun. Can you imagine being one of the people building that railroad?
I told my granddaughter who lives in Arizona that she should smell the ponderosa pines next time she goes up to Payson. 😊
Beautiful world, we got to see with you. It was breathtaking awesome. Thank you Lord for his creation.
