Springtime on the Heber Valley Railroad

- We return to the Heber Valley Railroad for a fun day trip in early spring with snow capped mountains and grassy valleys. The Heber Valley railroad, once known as the Heber Creeper, runs on the old Heber branch of the Denver and Rio Grande Western between Provo Canyon and the alpine town of Heber.

A ride on the Heber Valley Railroad is a pleasure.
Love winter on the line, a photo freight with 618 on the front is spectacular. I only wish they could contract someone to build them a “new” D&RGW C-48 loco
Ah the steam in winter!!!!!! Fluffy white steam and clouds against a bluer that blue sky!!! AH!!!
Toy Man Television I got the idea from the Winter Steam Spectacular movie.
Sometimes one must slow down and just let the ride take you to your bliss. Wonderful as always. Thank you for taking us along. Greg and Jeanne
HI GUYS!! What a fun day out!!!!!!!!! Be great when they get there dang steam engine (just one of them) working!!! UP 618 is almost ready. SOOOOOOO close.
Love that. But then I fall asleep and miss the whole thing.
That's the current story of my 64 yr old life -slowing down and letting the train take me to my bliss! 😂
What a beautiful video!
I want to see more Karyn Angell collections videos as well as you, Sir Dale. Great couples living in a happy way.☺
Lloyd Geralds We will be doing some of my collections.. I have some interesting ones!
Wow! Thanks!
Wonderful video and the music is superb. And a great couple, you two.
Thank god for summer too!
Summer time... and the living is easy......
Y'all are right there isn't a prettier state in the Union,,,,,except Tennessee. I traveled through Utah back in the Spring of 1988. I passed from I-70 down through Moab and Arches National Park down into southern Utah. I spent a few days in Mexican Hat and there about studying mesas, river systems and Geography /Geology. There sure is a world of geological resources in that area. I was really impressed with the Gooseneck of the San Juan River. That river is a tributary of the Colorado River just like the Green River. Like I said I fell in love with Utah and really want to come back to it some day.
The scenery is amazing.
THeres a great cave in the big mountain. National monument or something. BUt one of the best dang caves. THeres a crater too that you can swim in. Last time I was there they wouldn't let us take pictures. WHAT??? Anyway deep in a hill, warm lake about 80 feet deep. Little hole near the top lets in a bit of light.
An absolutely beautiful location.
All year too.
I agree whole hearted!
Love it!
Such an amazing place. The lower canyon is the greatest place. The railroad ends where the turnoff goes up a small canyon to the Sundance Resort. Bob Redfords joint. Such a place!
What a fun day trip. The scenery is beautiful.
I'd love to ride one of these trains! Love the music too.
Your Western mountainous location adventures are always grand to view; whether they are on a rail excursion, or driving the backroads. I haven't been in this type of atmosphere since 1976. I was traveling as a photographer with a Junior Babe Ruth Allstars baseball team (ages 14-15) during their National Tournament, and the final leg of the tournament was in Pueblo, Colorado. We were only there for 3 days before we were unceremoniously bounced out and shown our way to the airport because the team had lost their second game in a row. While there, I and some of the parents had rented a 15 passenger van for a little bit of a road tour West of Pueblo, and back by driving a large loop of State highways. We saw high snowcapped mountains in the distance, and beautiful, but very shallow trout streams, and communities from the old prospecting days, such as Silvercreek. What a sleepy little community it was then. I suppose it hasn't changed much since. We went through Canon City, the Western movie street scene set, and passed by state prison. Spent some time at the Royal Gorge. And then lastly made a quick tour of a very large place of real estate, which was already Surveyor staked out, and some roads had been cut in for a community called Pueblo West. As we drove along, I just had to laugh out loud. We've all heard this saying; It was raining so hard, it was like a cow peeing on a flat rock. Well, there it was in a field of grassland, numerous bovines grazing, but the weather was clear. Sure enough, there was a large flat rock, and among other boulders in a setting of this pasture, was one cow was backed up to the proverbial flat rock and peeing on it with a very strong stream of urine. Surly, you should find the humor!
Timothy M LOL! I’m a country girl.. raised in rural Utah.. I know exactly what you are talking about!! 🤣
The engine is an ALCO DL-109 which was made to be easily converted to narrow gauge. The narrow and standard gauge locos had the same dimensions, the only difference was the width of the wheels.
Didn't know!!! Interesting horn and lights. Looks SP.
Sorry, but that is actually an EMD/ALCO MRS-1, which was once built for the US Army. It was designed for potential use in foreign countries, so it was built to a smaller loading gauge and could be easily converted to different track gauges.
Trainzguy 2472 ohh, I know that ALCO won the contract for the loco, and I know that ALCO/Montreal made a similar loco called the DL-109
The4014Gamer ForTheWin I believe the DL 109 was streamlined though.
Trainzguy 2472 Woops, yeah it is, I meant something closer the the DL-535.
awesome video toy man television :) !
What beautiful place--take it easy on that tooth!
Nice
This time of year!! WOW!!!!
One time when I was riding the Heeber Creeper the locomotive hit a jeep that was parked on the tracks.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeber Creeeeeeeeeeeeper. There. Now I feel better.
Farmer Dave That happened years ago, when we had the summer school students on a field trip there.. The train hit a truck that was in the intersection. People need to be careful around railroad tracks...
Is there a better way to see great scenery than from a steam train???
Loved this trip, soaked up the atmosphere!! Do you follow All The Stations channel UK rail enthusiasts? Love their work too! Keep up your cultural heritage rail journeys! ❤️🚂🚂🚂
Need to check that out. Thanks!!!
Let me know when you want some drone shots for your Heber Creeper videos! I'm at school at UVU and worked on the railroad for a season :)
THANKS!! Do you dropbox or what? Would you be up for a collaboration? We are looking to do a show on the old Saltair and the railroad out there. Drone footage would be cool.
I got one of the movies that GW # 75 appeared in. It's break heart pass.
Bronson!! Love that one.
I got that movie on Christmas of 2018.
Beautiful! Thumbs up!
Greetings from Poland! :)
Guys just to tell you. The Heber Valley railroad just bought 3 former Boston & Maine GP9,s! (Currently Pan Am owned them)
trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2018/05/17-heber-valley-purchases-pan-am-gp9s. Read It! :) :D
One is in the Maine Central paint, the second one is in the phase 1 Boston & Maine paint scheme & the last one is in the Guilford paint scheme. :) There still in Massachusetts waiting for transport. But you guys get ready for three beautiful Massachusetts GP9,s in Utah! Eventially they will paint it in the D&RGW colors.
Don’t know beans about most diesel locomotives. GP 7 and 9 I know!! Wonder when they arrive. Be a fun video
Have a crazy question for you, would you like to ride a train that travels through time?
I love that movie
Any news on the steam engines?
Sort of. 618 is s-l-o-w-l-y coming together. They say later this year. So I figure early next year. One would HOPE well before the 4014 Big Boy comes in May.
What's the song in the video
Do they still run steam?
Yes, and no. Both locomotives are torn down, 618 is almost back. Should be back in July or so. The Big Boy, 4014 will be in Salt Lake for the May 10 2019 150th anniversary of the UP golden spike, so they really need to have 618 ready for that. The Great Western loco is all torn down as well, still needs its fire box rebuilt, but everything else is done on that one too. But still a year or two away. Be GREAT to have that one ready for May 10 as well, but I doubt it.
@@ToyManTelevision They actually recently said both should be back in not to long.
What is the locomotive in TS 2.34? Some sort of GP?
OK, MRS-1
Don't know. Other than E, F and P units Im clueless on Diesels.
Hey Toy Man,
It's an awesome video but you sounded different than usually.
My mouth was drunk. Just my mouth.
OK ;)
He had a lip full of Novocain!! 🤣 He is to be “crowned” by the dentist in a couple of weeks!
Karyn Felix-Angell - Dale will be crowned just in time for the Royal Wedding in England! 😉
With a King's ransom in dental cost... Dang! Those things are pricy!
