In life having a great partner is a dream come true. I realize that now at 65 y.o. You two seem to really enjoy each other's company and have fun in your adventures. My ex and I just came back from Durango, Colorado where we rode the Durango to Silverton Steam engine train. I enjoy watching your videos a lot. keep them coming.
Hey Abom79 and Abbey! Thanks for sharing this vid of your awesome train ride adventure! The footage of the gorge was truly amazing! I especially enjoy when Abbey gets excited! Ride ride ride!
thank yall for posting this we traveled there when I was in high school but would not drive across bridge cause it was so windy that day swaying too much for Mom....I almost fell off into the Gorge on Colorado side... lol slid and grabbed bush on way down and it held...
Besides the train ride and beautiful scenery and history, the commentary was fantastic. Just makes anyone want to take a trip. Thanks to the tremendous hosts 😎😬👍💚💕
Abby I did that everyday when I worked as an engineer for them. glad that you enjoyed the ride. Next time get the cab ride you can get the birds eye view .
🇳🇱NL/Just before your video there was an episode of big jim videos of the same railway but with an old steam train so your movie connected nicely with this thanks and lots of fun greetings from the Netherlands (Europe)👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀❤️
I was in the Army stationed at Ft. Carson CO in 1969 and 1970. Some fellow GI's and I drove to Canon City CO and hiked into the Royal Gorge, all the way to the hanging bridge. We were all railfans and were hoping to catch some railroad action, but no such luck. Hard for me to believe I had the energy to hike that far and back, but it was 50 years ago. I get tired just thinking about taking hikes these days.
An awesome trip. Thank you for an informative review. In April 1967,hubby finished his Air Force commitment. On our way back East,we stopped at the Royal Gorge. At that time,I remember the suspension bridge and the tram ride to the base to the river. I think that was the extent of it. I remember the wind was blowing and temperature being cool. I’d love to go back but it’s probably impossible. Thank you folks for allowing us to tag along. We appreciate you both.
It's on my list of stuff to do. Thanks for sharing your experience. I LOVE your sticker collection and your map. It's a little public diary of your travels.
Great job on the videos! That actually did the bridge justice, showing how high it is. ....loved it!,. You two stay safe out there, and hope you took warm clothes, because weather is coming.
Excellent video, and I see no reason to have to apologize for a beer in the morning your on vacation you are suppose to enjoy yourselves......isn’t that what a vacation is all about? Looks like I need to do that and the Durango train and get them off my bucket list. Thank you folks for the video and information
Different because shows the dome dining car with food, drinks. Not very many people. Lots of rafters. Stopped train on the ‘hanging bridge’ at 15:00. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that train is amazing , thanks for sharing I literally live 2ish hours away , Iv been there to the bridge but never took the train Its going to happen now with out a doubt, that is the most beautiful train and scenery iv ever seen
One of the best train rides I ever took was the Royal Gorge dinner train. It was cool to watch the sunset, and then travel back to the station at night.
Hi guys! Looks like you are having another great day. My girlfriend and I subscribed to you a few weeks ago and having been watching your videos. We go out there at least once a year and are heading out there on the 13th of this month. I'm glad to see things are open. You are really helping us get familiar with the rules or there with the covid. Thank you. I was glad to hear you say you were going on the Skyline drive. It's a really nice road, a little narrow here n there. Lol The train is great! Especially with some beers! I hope you guys have a great time out there! Stay safe!
My 14-year-old son wants to do this I'm going to send this video over to him now he knows about your guys's channel and that I follow you but he doesn't know you're doing this so if you see him comment give him a big thumbs up I wouldn't mind doing this myself... Looks awesome also just a heads up guys keep an eye on the weather it's supposed to drop off and they're supposed to get like 12 in of snow in Colorado at the base of the New Mexico mountains Tuesday or Wednesday I think 🙄
Great adventure. I remember my first time on the train, thet told us that you go up in elevation n they way back is gravity. Hope you get to ride the cog railway to the summit to Pikes Peak. I miss colorado. Thanks for taking me back.
Cool Train. - Always amazed how a small world we live in sometimes. You're wearing your St. George shirt, here I am halfway across the country (Louisville, Ky.), and the Wife and I are getting ready to spend two weeks in that area (very old, small house rental which is naturally social distanced on Ochlocoknee Bay, just down the road), next week. Does anyone know how bad the Virus is in that area, it's really rural so I'm hoping there's not a problem with that.
@@AbomAdventures , they don't have to worry about that from me. Since March 10th, I've only been beyond the perimeter of my yard 6 times, and those times were either Dr.'s visits or other medical procedures (and went straight home afterward), and they made me wait in the parking lot till they were ready for me, called, went into an empty waiting room wearing all appropriate gear with a high dollar bottle of sanitizer used liberally. I "B" taking no chances. Have been making the stock holders of Amazon Richer.
By the way Canon City is promounced Canyon City, because when the city was found the note taker used a Spanish N, the Nyea. I could tell you weren't from around these parts.
Great video guys! I have lived within 45 minutes of this location my entire life and have never taken the ride. I'm going to have to put it on my list of things to do. Did you know that there was an actual war over who had the right to build the line through the gorge? Both D&RGW and Santa Fe railroads wanted it. Do a search for the Royal Gorge War to see more. See you next time.
Great to see you kids so relaxed. These adventures are very enjoyable tho the beer tasting requires a bit of imagination. In another comment I wondered whether you were going to check out the ‘dragonman’ in Colorado Springs because he is a machinist and has quite the shop, museum and gun store, seemingly a tourist attraction. Take care.
We were there in 2021. The bridge and train looked interesting, but we thought it was pretty expensive. Did you drive on the Skyline Drive? That had some tense moments!
I went on the Royal Gorge Train ride very nice, good lunch but it's a short trip. Travels up the rail fast but comes down very slow to give you a two hour ride otherwise the adventure would be over to quickly. Canon City is pretty run down city. The suspension bridge is very pricey considering all you do is walk over it and back for $60 bucks per person
heyy!hey!! I watched 1 of your videos and saw a map decal for the vehicles. where did you get it at ? thanks for all your videos ! we're planning a trip and your videos have helped !
I don't know that I could say one over the other as there are 2 different types of scenery. The only comparable trip to the Royal Gorge is the High Line of the Durango-Silverton.

You guys make me want to travel. I love how happy to be alive you two are!
Hey Abom79 and Abbey! Thanks for sharing this vid of your awesome train ride adventure! The footage of the gorge was truly amazing! I especially enjoy when Abbey gets excited! Ride ride ride!
Late to the table, again. Love the train ride. Love to watch the excitement, especially Abby. Thanks for inviting us.
Thank You for sharing your wonderful train ride! We paddled the Arkansas river in whitewater canoes!
thank yall for posting this we traveled there when I was in high school but would not drive across bridge cause it was so windy that day swaying too much for Mom....I almost fell off into the Gorge on Colorado side...
lol slid and grabbed bush on way down and it held...
Wow!!!!! Everything is so beautiful!!! Loving your videos!!! Thanks for sharing you vacation with us!!!!
As a life long train enthusiast, I enjoy watching you two having a good time on trains.
Theese videos just make me happy!
Good morning thank y’all for this awesome amazing review!! Some friends and I are planning a trip definitely going on out to do list
Love the train ride. I also like the vlog style of videos for the trip. Thanks so much for taking us with you!
Thanks. I’m enjoying making this style of video. Simpler and faster to edit.
Thanks so much for sharing your vacation.
Trains have special rules - you can drink at any time, and it's fine! What a lovely trip.
Unless you are an employee then it is Rule G. NO BOOZE!
Your videos are making me smile too much, and it lasts all day... thanks...
What a great comment to read! 😁
Thanks for the great vid's you guys know how to have fun .
Besides the train ride and beautiful scenery and history, the commentary was fantastic. Just makes anyone want to take a trip. Thanks to the tremendous hosts 😎😬👍💚💕
Awesome, thanks for sharing your ride through the gorge. Love Abby's excitement.
Abby I did that everyday when I worked as an engineer for them. glad that you enjoyed the ride. Next time get the cab ride you can get the birds eye view .
Next time i'm in the States I will make an effort to go there.. Looks great and I love Colorado.
🇳🇱NL/Just before your video there was an episode of big jim videos of the same railway but with an old steam train so your movie connected nicely with this thanks and lots of fun greetings from the Netherlands (Europe)👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀❤️
You don’t have to justify when you guys want to drink a beer 🍻. You are grown adults and can drink whenever you want. Love you guys. Stay safe.
That was fantastic guys, thank you so much 👏👏👏👍🇬🇧🍺🍺
Glad to see your having a good time, great video. looking forward to your next adventures.
Glad they have this opened again after that horrible wildfire. Truly Awesome place. Glad the bridge wasn't damaged.
I envy 60 degrees with a cup of coffee. You guys have the right idea. Enjoy

Thank you for visiting my home. Glad you enjoyed yourself. The cider is locally pressed. The train food is wonderful
My sister-in-law and her family are in that area. This was one of the neatest places we visited while there. The old wooden water main is crazy neat.
Super excited, we are visiting Colorado in August; definitely on my bucket list.
What a amazing train ride. Wish you some beautiful days. Best wishes from Jan in Norway
Great job on the videos! That actually did the bridge justice, showing how high it is. ....loved it!,. You two stay safe out there, and hope you took warm clothes, because weather is coming.
Glad you liked the vid. Yes we packed for winter as well.
Really enjoyed your video! Absolutely beautiful scenery!
THIS ROYAL GORGE IS AMAZING. NEVER KNEW THERE WAS SUCH A PLACE. AND THE TRAIN RIDE WAS GREAT. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE YOU GUYS, BE SAFE OK
I think it would be awesome to go on the Christmas train maybe a good destination for the holidays thank you enjoyed the video
The Polar Express??
Hope you're going to film the Tunnel Drive hike, looks awesome! Have fun!
We. Really didn’t have to to visit the tunnel drive but wanted to.
Great to see you two out enjoying your trip so much.

Doing this in Oct. Can't wait. And I really want to try the flight.
We are also going to Zipline across.
Got our tickets for Sunday, we can't wait.
Well that's probably the best review of that train ever done. Their business will probably double...
Thank you! 👍🏻

My grandfather used to run steam engines on that line. He and my grandmother were married in Canon City.
Very cool 👍🏻
Thanks for the trip
I'm going to Denver in 2 weeks ... I'm debating on experiencing this! The scenery is everything 😊😊😊
It's definitely worth it!
@@AbomAdventures ok, thanks! 😏
Amazing!
Man that looked like fun.
The Grand Canyon has an awesome train also.
Observation: Abby has a fantastic collection of hats. Carry on.
I like the way Abby bounces with excitement.
Damn you held that coffee up and I realised I wasn’t going to get any until I finish this video!
Been there several times, in the past, but never took the train ride. Went over the bridge.
Great adventure. I remember my first time on the train, thet told us that you go up in elevation n they way back is gravity. Hope you get to ride the cog railway to the summit to Pikes Peak. I miss colorado. Thanks for taking me back.
Cog railway is closed. Rebuilding it and a new visitor center at the top.
@@AbomAdventures Thanks as always for all you share with everyone. You both stay safe, and always watching for your next video.
Your train journey was amazing. I also want to travel this train but I am a citizen of a poor country so it is not possible for me. ❤️❤️🇧🇩

It’s not bad there. You can look up the cases by country. The rural areas usually consist of cases being from tourists.
@@AbomAdventures , they don't have to worry about that from me.

so jealous :)

I so miss Colo. Sorry I moved to Ca. So much to do there, and I did most. To bad the economy couldn't keep me there back then.
So do the whitewater next time? 😎Rafting is a ton of fun.
Now you get to try the Cumbres and Toltec RR
Hope we have time to get to that train as well
Great video guys! I have lived within 45 minutes of this location my entire life and have never taken the ride. I'm going to have to put it on my list of things to do.

I’m not familiar with him although I’ve had a lot of people mention his channel. No plans to stop there.
Back in the day, the Skyline Drive was two lanes.
We were there in 2021. The bridge and train looked interesting, but we thought it was pretty expensive.
Did you drive on the Skyline Drive? That had some tense moments!
Yes we did, we have a video on Skyline Drive.
I went on the Royal Gorge Train ride very nice, good lunch but it's a short trip. Travels up the rail fast but comes down very slow to give you a two hour ride otherwise the adventure would be over to quickly. Canon City is pretty run down city.

heyy!hey!! I watched 1 of your videos and saw a map decal for the vehicles. where did you get it at ? thanks for all your videos ! we're planning a trip and your videos have helped !
How long is the train ride??
A couple of Brew Birds.
:)
You were right by our house!
if your still in the area Tuesday 8th they expect possibly snow up to 6 inches in Denver and surrounding area north and south
great trip thanks!
We keep up with the weather
We walked the bridge in October 2021
What would you say is more scenic, this or the Georgetown Loop railway?
I don't know that I could say one over the other as there are 2 different types of scenery. The only comparable trip to the Royal Gorge is the High Line of the Durango-Silverton.
Get ready for the snow.
We’re ready 🥶😅
Would i be able to do both things in a day?
Absolutely! Get to the train early, then go to the bridge afterward.
I am concerned by the small number of passengers. Hope they are still running a couple of years from now.
We’re taking this ride in a few weeks during the “Twilight” ride! Where did you guys stay?! I need to book somewhere!
Mountain View RV Resort. There’s several of them along Hwy 50 new Mountain View. Check out our previous video of getting into Canon City.
