Incredible. An entirely different perspective - we see lot of great videos with these e locomotives pulling cars during the daylight hours. But this is the only one that gives us a glimpse into what it was like when they pulled passenger cars through the night. I enjoyed living the experience.
This might be my favorite C&T video of all time. And that includes everything I've produced. Well done, William. This is simply amazing. Thank you for sharing it.
Wow! That was neat to watch. I really enjoyed watching the 168 and 425 (315) battle the grade. I couldn't believe the amount of cinders you could see coming out the stacks at night and the fact that you could see the stars out over Cumbres when the train rolled in. I also found it interesting that they stopped at the Cresco Water Tower. Good job capturing the moment and thanks for sharing it.
After being on the train for this ride I'm glad to be able to see what it looked like from the outside too! One thing for sure... Pulling out of Chama at night, or departing from the top of Cumbres and heading off into the dark of night was a feeling and sensation I can't really put into words, except to say it was incredibly cool and totally enjoyable. Great work on the video and thanks for capturing and sharing these rare moments!
About 13 years ago I laughed at people shooting our charter coming down Cumbres in the dark. Now, with the technological advances in Cameras, it's a lot better
@@Big_Diehl Indeed, it's really remarkable how much technology has allowed us to try to emulate those such as O. Winston Link... I only regret I wasn't a little more practiced with video camera and DSLR for night time shooting during this event. There was some magical moments in the dark for sure, and am just glad to have the memories from my own eyes to think on.
That might be the most evocative footage of the train ever taken. I’ll be dreaming about traveling in a sleeper car towards that new moon peaking out behind the clouds as the Engineer and Fireman pushes through the night.
Your night photography is fantastic! I was at the campground by my fire that night when it went out, and came home! Great weekend in Chama! Thank you for producing this and all of your others! So enjoyable to watch!
Aww, shucks… Thanks. Pardon the pun, but this chase was definitely a ‘shot in the dark’ for me. I’ve been on C&TS trains 15 years ago where we laughed at those videoing in the dark. And now with technology (and some of Mr Springowski’s lighting) we have gotten to a point where an amateur like me could capture this.
That was really interesting. I thought the noisy image gave it a cool effect instead of detracting from it. The stars were nice to see. It was amazing to see the cinders flying out of the stacks. Glad you did this!
Great video. As a matter of fact, I recorded the sound of the entire climb, except for a break when taking water at Cresco, from onboard the train. You may see me in the white sweat hoodie in the second car with the window open to record the audio on my phone.
Would you mind if I made an edit with your footage to a quote from Little Engines & Big men specifically "Listen to that locomotive bark for the stars"?
I don’t know but there’s just something more mystifying watching and hearing all the iconic sounds in the dark of night.Is the locomotive headlamp carbide or electric?
Both locomotives have 32v electric/steam dynamos to drive their headlamps and cab lights. All the K-36's and K-37's have the same setup. It's pretty standard. On the other hand, the Glenbrook was showing off its very traditional kerosene headlamp in the shot at Chama engine house early in this video.

Very excited to watch a night run, love STEAM LOCOMOTIVES 🚂 😍
You are an amazing artist my friend!
Awesome to see what it looked like from outside the train. Words can’t describe what it was like to be on board. Great job!
Very well done at night. Great photography 👍👍‼️‼️
Thanks 👍
This was fun to watch!

That is amazing, we chased the train that night. This is a great video, thank you! Absolutely beautiful.

Seeing the hot cinders shooting out while going up the grade was amazing. I've never seen that before in my life.
Spectacular as usual Mr. Diehl!! Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow, this was hauntingly beautiful, both to watch and to listen to!

Wow, phantastic video, Awesome editing. ……………
A wonderful video, well filmed.
There is something special about a night drive. Thank you for showing me
Glad you enjoyed it
Its nice to see 497 finally get some fresh air
this is a big gorgeous wow

The shot coming into Cumbres was my favorite.
Listen to those little locomoties bark for the stars
I love hearing steam locomotives go in and out of synch with each other :-D
It was definitely something magical… The sound in the video did not do it justice that night
Enjoyed the video!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
it looks like something out of Petticoat Junction or the Casey Jones tv series
Great video. As a matter of fact, I recorded the sound of the entire climb, except for a break when taking water at Cresco, from onboard the train. You may see me in the white sweat hoodie in the second car with the window open to record the audio on my phone.
Will they do more night runs in the future?
I wouldn’t be surprised, but no clue when the next might be… hopefully not another 100 years.
Would you mind if I made an edit with your footage to a quote from Little Engines & Big men specifically "Listen to that locomotive bark for the stars"?
Can you back channel me through one of my other social channels? I’d like to hear more

All the D&RG locomotives in this video are electric incandescent bulbs.
