Summer Steam Trains on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- The Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad is one of the most spectacular tourist lines in North America. Winding along the border between Colorado and New Mexico, trains pass through some of the most untouched mountain scenery one can find from on board a train. In this video, we travel back to the summer of 2021 to see several of the railroad's regular trains in action over the railroad. Primarily featured are two of the railroad's former Rio Grande K-36 2-8-2 steam locomotives, numbers 487 and 489.

I still can’t get enough of those drive wheels on 489. They look so unusual.
It’s definitely an unusual design! Those outside frame narrow gauge locomotives have really big counterweights that look quite unique.
That's why they're mounted outside the frame.
Do we need the scrapped Amtrak locomotives from Beech Grove Shops to remember? 40th Anniversaries are 156, 66, and 822, but not 184 is scrapped beyond repair, only repainted into Phase V.
Cool
Looks like another steam train is back sweet and really cool
Thanks for watching!
@@CoasterFan2105 anything for the best train record guy on RUclips

Always love to see the D&RGW locomotives in action. Good video.
Thank you! They’re some of my favorite narrow gauge locomotives.
@@CoasterFan2105D&RGW K’s are some great engines.
Summer is still the best time for steam railroading no matter what. ^^
I remember riding the C&T in the summer of 2022. It is truly a beautiful journey and one of the best train rides in the world. Also great video! ❤👍😎

Hello Mike, a fantastic video of the Cumbres and Toltec narrow gauge railway. I am a big fan of these railways and the steam locomotives of the former Rio Grande narrow gauge railway. Thanks for the great video and best regards from Germany
Sorry I'm late, I overslept. Very nice C&T engines here!
No problem! Thanks for watching!

6:00 Wow! The Arizona landscape looks a lot like the Grand Canyon steam train.
Believe it or not, that’s actually southern Colorado! It does look a lot like northern Arizona though.
It looks similar, except it was not filmed in Arizona.
My son and I love your videos! It’s became our thing to sit in the recliner together and watch some trains. Thanks so much for creating this experience for us. Your channel is a big part of our lives. Keep up the good work my man!
Happy Friday and Happy train 🚂 day ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
HAPPY TRAIN DAY TO YOU TOO, FRIEND ! 🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋

I love the red passenger cars contrasting against the deep black of the locomotive and the blue sky.
Thank you for sharing.
Awesome my man!
Thank you!
Nice Steam Trains!
Nice
Thanks!
Very nicely done! Some shots were as if you had been transported back to 1870! Very well done!
Amazing catches! Maybe you should come railfan Durango again sometime.
Thank you! I’m sure I will!
Amazing intro and vid mike!
Nice video. I think you're pretty lucky to get shots of regular trains having boxcars and a tank car. Well done.
Interesting that this video was posted the day 487 was fired up for the first time in almost 2 years. As I'm writing this, it made it's first revenue run post overhaul!
Great video
Thank you, Evan!
@@CoasterFan2105 You are welcome Mike!
Beautiful video mike! Made my day!
I love these vids! Been watching em since i was 5
Love the chuffs❣️🚂🚂🚂🚂❣️
We are from Ventura County and we enjoyed watching your stream trains galore form 10 years ago and I was happy that you included the Fillmore and Western #14 steam train .
But now it’s owned by The Santa Clara River
Valley Railroad.
So , the steam train #14
Has been sitting idle
Since 2019 .
Do you think that you could make an updated
Video about the future our railroad from
Fillmore to Santa Paula
In an Effort to support
And promote the rebirth of this once
Wonderful piece of Living History.
I think an update would
Make more people
Aware of how they could help. Especially
The Movie Industry !
So , what do you think ?
Thanks ,

Ventura County California 👍🏻
Very nice, like ! ! !
Ne muhteşem bir güzellik. Ne harika vagonlar muhteşem bir lokomotif. Özellikle de si. En güzel hint müzikten bile harika.
That train noise is music to my ears
You need to go back to Durango for the Durango and Silverton, 480 has a new whistle and it sounds beautiful!
I love train❤❤❤
I don’t know what is it with 487s whistle squeal but I love it
for your next video, can you go to temple Tx please
Next week’s video will be Freight Trains Galore 2. I’m not sure when I’ll be back in Texas, but I really hope I get a chance soon. Wanted to do it this summer but it didn’t work out with the timing of everything.
WOW!/Wow!
I Mike just letting you know that you are doing a good and excellent job 👍 so keep it up and continue giving us these awesome train videos okay. Let's go trains of all kinds. But especially the ones on the bullet train, big boy, Amtrak, how about reasch on the contrail trains the coobes, and the Santa Fe too? Are they coming back running on the rails or sadly gone for good? Just let me know and keep track of them too okay. Sincerely Christopher wright let's go Conrail trains let's go go Conrail trains and the coobes and also the Santa Fe too
Great footage but not included were the mountanous territory and the two Tunnels, l suppose because the photographers couldnt get there. I rode the train im June. There are many loops and horseshoe curves to gain elevation. This is certainly an Americsn treasure. Don't take it for granted. Get out there. You dont have to be a railfan to enjoy the trip.
Hello cf2105
Are you eventually gonna catch these new metra locomotives?
In progress!
Okay
I’m pretty sure this was recorded during the Victorian Ironhorse round up?
I miss 489's atsf whistle
Hey Mike, Did u hear that 487 is getting Converted to Oil?
I got Oxnard train video
489 has a hooter whistle now?
This was from a couple years ago. I think it has the 6 chime ATSF whistle again but not sure.
Were the 487, and 489 Steam Locomotives originally built to pull Freight Trains?
