  • The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad's Victorian Iron Horse Roundup will feature two 1875 steam locomotives from Nevada, the Eureka, and the Glenbrook, and they will be joined by the recently restored 1883 engine No. 168 and engine No. 425 (315). All four steam locomotives will pull historic consists of passenger and freight cars, creating living images that have not been seen for 140 years.
    On Saturday, August 21, 2021 we watch 168 and 425 depart Antonito, Colorado, and on Sunday, August 22, 2021 we see Eureka, and Glenbrook depart. Notice Tourist Sleeper 470, which was purchased by the Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec in 1996, moved to Colorado Springs in 2009 for restoration, and completed in 2021.

    Great experience and great video. My only question is the placement of 168 as the helper and the 425 as the road loco; I would have figured the 4-6-0 to be the passenger or road loco. It was nice to see the coupling bar of GLENBROOK used but there is no other way to couple them. Link-and-pin usage in 2021, yeah.

    Eureka and Glenbrook are as precious as Gold. As locomotives build in the 19th century, I just call them the Golden Relics. I’m getting close to having large scale models of them by Bachmann trains.

  • @pinchy08
    @pinchy08 3 года назад +3

    Out of all the traveling locomotives Eureka and Palisade #4 and the Glenbrook are my favorite. I love 19th century 4-4-0s and 2-6-0s.

    I didn’t expect RGS #20 to be taken to Cumbres and Toltec from the Colorado Railroad Museum as well. But what’s an iron horse roundup without the wood and coal burning relics built between the 19th and 20th centuries.

    The 168 and 315 as 425 also look great as a doubleheader. Golden Relics that run on wood can coal.

    Highly enjoyable. Great perspectives. Thank you for showing the whole servicing. Really allows one to pretend to be seeing an original. (Forcibly ignoring the trucks and cars passing by and the plastic water bottles intruding on the scene.) Well done.

      Thank you, Charles. At an event like this it's hard to avoid all that and the crowds of people that I was surrounded by. Still very grateful that C&TSR put on the event that was attended by so many people who traveled long distances to witness history!

    Please share us some RGS 20 Footage, would love to see that baby sketch its legs. Did the cumbres plan on a rgs 20 and rgs 455 (draw 463) mudhen doubleheader? As always, great stuff. Appreciate your hard work man!
