I love the D&SNGRR and love those engines but one that I feel like that needs to be said is, what the hell happened to their whistles, they used to have all 5 chimes on the K-36s what happened to them.
Are the Red card new? I thought The Silverton had a Yellow cars while the Cumbres had all red cars. Do the two railroads combine somewhere to exchange cars?
The red paint on some of the cars signify that they are first class cars. The coach class cars are painted in Rio Grande Gold. The C&TS can’t exchange cars due to the fact that the rails connecting Durango and Chama have long since been torn up.
That 3 chime on 480 sounds terrifying. I love it!
Wow, what a beautiful sight.
Glad you caught this, my friend Mike and I were the engineers. I had the 80 and he was on the 93.
That’s neat! Thanks for stopping by
@@Nostall123YT well I can’t hear the whistle away from the engine when I’m in it so I’m glad there’s recordings of it.
I think 480 is wearing a South African Railways 3-chime (You can correct me if I'm wrong). Great video by the way!
From what I heard the 3 chime 480 is equipped with was homemade by one of the railroad’s employees.
@@Nostall123YT Oh, that's cool! A homemade 3-chime! :)
it’s an L&N freight 3 chime.

Whistles get worn out over time, there’s now one working 5 chime that rotates through the fleet.

@@Nostall123YT And of course, they're converting that section to highway use, so...
What whistle is that on 493?
AT&SF 6 chime
Homemade 4 chime.

Both have weird whistles.
