- It's time to return to the Centennial State for a look at trains all around Colorado! This video features a compilation of trains I have filmed in Colorado over the years. Some of these clips have been featured on the channel before, but many of them have never been posted. We'll travel all over the state to see modern day Amtrak, BNSF, and Union Pacific trains running around as well as a number of the well known steam and diesel tourist trains. From Rocky Mountains to grassy plaines, everything is included in this hour long look at trains in Colorado!
CoasterFan2105 is the home of all sorts of train and railroad related video content. Stop by every Friday at 9 AM Pacific time for an all new railroading adventure and be sure to check out all of my social media pages @coasterfan2105 for even more great railroad content. Thanks, and I'll see you down the line!

Thank you for taking me along for the ride. These videos take time, patience and diligence to capture the beauty and lore of the trains and rails in Colorado.
Thank you for these videos! My train OBSESSED 2 year old loves them. He goes to sleep for his day naps and bed time every single day to these videos. A life saver!
Same!
SAME
My two grand children too!
Eat and breath

It is very unique experience when travelling long journey
through train anywhere,I enjoyed so much.
Living in Colorado all my life has really been an inspiration. You'd think that you have seen all, but there is always something you missed the time before and so a repeat trip to areas with trains keeps me coming back for more. Never get tired of trains or Colorado beauty, no matter how many times I see it. Spectacular!! Thank you Mike for a wonderful video.
😊😊
0:40 that horn will never get old.
K5LLAs always rattle your bones.

3:27 wow! The grass is so tall you can’t even see the tracks! Wouldn’t want to have a picnic there.
I love your channel AJ railfan!!!
It’s not even tall, I think the truck are just dug down
Yeah if I wore there riding my bike yep I'd die there if I couldn't run fast enough

Only The Centennial State of Colorado has the best narrow gauge railroad coverage around 😀
Good afternoon --- these beautiful American trains leave me speechless -- just fabulous. -- thanks -- Terry
Colorado was made for the train to concur and concur she did, thanks for sharing
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
@@CoasterFan2105 has to
At 20:37 nice steam train whistle I love that whistle it makes me want to watch this every day
we went to Colorado in United States of America
Watching an hour of trains in complete silence in pitch black dark at 1:00 AM will always be my greatest achievement as a person
I, too, love psychedelic drugs.
I'm only a bit through and I'm already loving this! I'm from Colorado.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Me too! Makes this vid even better

Wow! Romantic! The words "Passengers do not sleep, but there is silence around, Outside the window, the sound of wheels, in the lights of the city. "
Your videos are amazing! My toddler and I often watch them, sometimes these videos are his lullabies… 😊
Thank you Mike for these videos! My 14 month old Flynn loves them. He always asks for more!
Ive always loved the RGS railroad mainly for Rio Grande Southern 4-6-0 #346, the oldest of the Rio Grande Railroad Museum. Lets not forget the Royal Gorge EMD F7 pair of 471 and 477!! 20:38 has the BEST whistle! It sounds so BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Didn’t No.346 always belong to the D&RGW?

I was just thinking on the Durango and Silverton Railroad!!! I was watching photos of the bumblebee livery of the 1950s, and investigating about the oldest surviving D&RGW steam locomotives!!!!!
very nice video with trains all mixed up makes it more interesting. Top notch photography and a lot of work. Thanks for sharing.
Awww it makes me sad that the P42DC’s are slowly being retired...They Were My Childhood In Southern California... =(
Giovanni Vu i live in southern LA and i saw some
Same with the F40PHs I love them
They are my favorite
@@photonegativemickey3733 l_
Me in 2016 about p42s. :D. me in 2020 about the new chargers. BUT BUT WHY ARE THEY ONLY IN THE MIDWEST WHERE I LIVE NOOOOOO I DONTLIKE THEM THERE UGLY
Thanks Mike! This is just what I needed. 😊
Nice compilation of Colorado trains in beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing!
The scenery is just beautiful and amazing!!!!!love it!🔴🫢🤫
*sees video title* I am going to enjoy this.🚂
Nice
Thanks!

I like all of the different colors of the trains
28:00 Favorite Whistle
on my fave loco
Such a haunting sound
Let’s gooooo!!!! Great scenic shots my friend!
Thank you, Matt!
Nice 1 hour straight video mike!
Thank you!

Wow 4.5 Million Views Thank you Mike
Thank You, Mr. Mike Armstrong.
Thanks for doing a video about my state. Really appreciate it Mike.
Beautiful, amazing video. We really enjoyed all of trains and scenery. You do outstanding work.
Torn
You know
Thanks for including the trolley in Fort Collins!!
Love this channel - love those trains 🚂!!
My favorite is the steam engine 😁💕💕
I love the way the Train horn sounds.
The Whistle at 14:33 is the best steam whistle ever
I love trains
I can't believe these trains exist in colorado,I want to ride the black steam train with the yellow cars
That would be the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. The post D&RGW line runs from the recreational hub of Durango up to the historic mining town of Silverton. The line was built in 1881-1882. It is an amazing journey to say the least.
May I just say the fact that I live in Colorado just makes this video 10x better
I enjoyed this but I'm puzzled that anyone would give it a thumbs down. The title tells you what it is! Anyone who doesn't want to watch trains in Colorado is not obliged to watch!
Какие они славные старые паровозы🙏🙏🙏🙏 как гудят и чухают- это ❤❤❤❤❤
very cool video🙂💖
This is my three-year-old's favorite video

I don't like later steam engines with stubby smokestacks and the light mounted on boiler center line.
The older, Wild West ones are my faves, like this one on 23:02, but what is it?
D&RGW No.315 is a C-18 Class Consolidation built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1895. Its appearance has changed over the years as it once had the gas-lit headlight and the big diamond smoke stack for the ultimate Wild West look.
@@itsyaboi3349 TY!
Why did they get rid of the smoke stack? Not that this one is bad, but ...
@@Trump-a-Tron I’m not sure if the date, but it was because a new spark arresting feature was developed. The big diamond stacks served as spark arrestors before a device that goes inside the smoke box was developed; it forces the escaping air to form a little cyclone, which allows more time for the cinders to cool and/or fall down. Then there is also the bear trap on top of the stack which also helps catch more of the embers.
Edit: After some research, I believe this locomotive always had the newer spark arresting system. I think this locomotive was built too late to be fitted with a classic diamond stack. But there are other locomotives, much like this, still around that had it.
@@itsyaboi3349 Coal is less of a problem so no need for them then. I guess 1890s is too modern for my taste.
@@Trump-a-Tron I suppose so, but I think you’d be happy to now there are a couple other narrow gauge consolidations in CO that were built in the 1880s such as No.278 and No.346, which operates at the Colorado Railroad Museum. In Utah, No.223 is undergoing restoration.
My grandson loves trains.thanks
I really enjoyed this video, Mike. I always love your trains in states videos, including California Trains, New Mexico Trains, and Florida Trains. Can’t wait for the next state. Someday, I want to see a Virginia Trains video, once you have enough footage for it.
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
All the science railroads that are popular in the United States are in Colorado
Bhai.

The rio grade la vita pass one sadly went bankrupt
thanks for sharing i love trains
COLORADO BABY. Nice vid Mike. Love that Royal Gorge train.
Thank you! The Royal Gorge is awesome!

My 6 years old son says look dad so ,so,so, many trains y they are beautiful!!!!!!!🔴🫢🤫
5:51
I TOOK A PICTURE IN THE CAB OF THIS TRAIN
33:21
I rode the 493 Durango and Silverton Steam locomotive here
34:01 That was on the route
Nice Video!
Thanks!
@@CoasterFan2105 No problem it really is a great video!
I absolutely LOVE this video! Colorado is such a beautiful state. I want to visit and want to see all the good trains there
5:20 I love the horn! It’s similar to the Union Pacific’s older Dash - 8’s from the Blue Mountains.
I love them too, reminds of those documentaries on it by questar
Delighted.
Thanks
Welcome to Colorado we have massive freight Trains and Scenic train routes
Ii
I'll just save this into my Therapy folder 📂
23:39 that thing looks like a mix between a streetcar and a bus.
@Willy Sikora funny name.
50:10 Locomotiva bonita
Colorado has some good standard gage railroads as well.
Nice Video Mike! :)
Thank you, Rhett! :)
nice selection and great to hear the actual train sounds instead of music
I am sad to say as a native of Colorado. The San Luis valley and rio grade railroad who did the passenger train service for alamosa to la veta pass has become bankrupt and no longer offers passenger trains
Even the lights work
1:41 Whistle reminds me of the C&TS back in the 70s
Vídeo maravilhoso! Parabéns!.
Obrigado!
What?......

I love all the trains but wanted to note the Railcar at 32:31! Maybe circa 1930's?
Awesome
The days of steam are mostly behind.... But the one thing I always wondered about was, 'Did they massively increase the risks of forest fires during their time'? And or how did the railways mitigate those risks at the time when rapid response to fires was not the case?
P0 loL I lol
Nice vid I bet it got a lot of *rock and roll* on it
Thanks!
Do steam trains do regular service or is it just demonstration?
As far as I know, all of these steam locomotives are regularly used except No.315 and the Eureka. No.18 is not in service as the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad is no longer in operation.
Great video for august!
beautiful! I think this is your nicest selection of film
Thank you, Matt!
Nice catch mike
Nice trains and a long vid!
Thank you!
Cool
@@CoasterFan2105 boi
20:38 Which video is that from when 473 pulled the green cars?
Does the Silverton Line use to haul passenger trains back in 1882?
Yes, it opened in 1881. Some of the cars still used on the line date back to the 1880s!
So even though it was built to transport gold and silver from the San Juan Mountains, it still transport passengers while the mines are operating?
Awesome video liked 🚄🚂👍
I like the WIG WAGS on the crossings
This is such a great video! Well done, Mike!
1:07 it looks like a model train the way the camera is placed
10:15 LAST COLORADO TRAIN!!
Very cool!
Thanks!
Exquisite
awesome
Great Video , I long to go there before I die , especially the Darango & Silverton and the Rio Grande !
