This is a must do for any train or mountain scenery enthusiasts!! I prefer the ride in the opposite direction...climbing the 4% grade and not having to listen to the squealing brakes! I hear the fall with the turning aspens is the very best time to go. ...Claude
@@ToyManTelevision It has been a great series on the 1800s locomotives, but a long one as well...and, no doubt you are already well along on your next series of videos...but, not to worry as there will be fewer trains running during the winter season...unless you choose to fly to the southern latitudes and start riding all of the trains "down there"! haha Thanks, again...always a pleasure to hear from you. T4
Very nicely done. Just the right amount of narration and nice musical selections. Thank you. I road this route in 2009, part of my big road trip upon retiring from 26.33 years of public service. Fun to see it is doing well.
Wow, what an incredible ride and video! One thing you don't want them to say over the loud speaker on the way down to the end: "Hang on folks, we're going to really let it rip this time!" Loved this absolutely.
Wow spectacular job Screwing around I wish I was there it's at least 3 years before I can go back out West thank you for taking me on another one of your excellent adventures
Dale, Did this ride 3 years ago when all the wild fires were going on here in Colorado, Once you get out of town and up into the mountains deep in the back country is when this ride really gets beautiful.
This music @ 6:59 is one of my favorite discoveries on the Toy Man Television channel. The music is called "Americana" and is composed by Emmy nominated composer Richard Band.
I have did something like this back in 2016, when I was visiting the C&TS. I hope to come back to this railroad, along with other railroads in Colorado.
We watched another video that had this same event that you are on with the Victorian trains. On their video, they said that the Eureka had a mechanical problem and they had to be towed backwards. We watched on the video the trains being towed backwards by another steam train. Where you two on that trip? This video of yours is amazing. Love the music you had playing too. I'm keeping this in my favorites folder, to watch again and again. Thank you for sharing this wonderful trip.
I have seen many videos of this railroad trip, in both directions, none of them compare to this one. Your choice of camera angles, and including the screaming brake sound, the only one that does, and all the other sights and sounds, make this video the best I've seen. Sadly the only thing that can't be included is the smell and feel of the ride. Thanks for creating the best ride to Chama that I've ever seen. ;-)
Not bad to miss the oil smoke smell on the eastern part of the line! But all that wonderful cool smoke mixed with injector oil and steam… Now if they could just turn that into an air freshener
Man, seeing those brakes on fire is both kinda awesome and unsettling. We had a similar situation when we rode the daily passenger train on the 2nd day of the Iron Horse Roundup, except it was a hot journal box fire rather than a brake fire. Came into Antonito smoking up a storm, and it was cool to see the all the staff try to put it out! 😂
Oh wow! So y'all went on the road already before we came back! Saw your car in front of us when we were leaving the same day too. Wanted to say hi but couldn't get chance to
Amazing train ride with all that beautiful Colorado and New Mexico mountains and canyons to take in. It is hard to find any area better than this. I might be a little bit biased sense I am from and live in Colorado. I can remember the first time I seen the coaling tower in Chama and the top of Cumbres pass nearly 50 years ago. The area hasn't change much over the years and is still as beautiful as it was back then. Thanks for taking us along and sharing. Be safe and see you on Tuesday.👍🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
The wife and I road the 489 out of Chama to Antonito in 2019 at the end of May. It was snowing and a beautiful trip. Next time maybe in August or September. Didn't go outside, to cold. Thanks for the video. 👍
This was a very special film. I promoted it from my Sunday morning tea time viewing to Sunday night prime time. :D Great sound sound track as usual.... If you tried hard you could probably get a job doing that. :D
I actually felt like I was riding along with you guys! I really enjoyed the 62-mile trip...well, at least, a portion of it. The scenery is beautiful. I did feel a bit heartbroken because I once, briefly, owned a brass D&RGW HOn3 Mikado 2-8-2 K-36 engine from Overland Models, Inc. back in 1990. But, it was defective and I had to return it. Seeing the real ones in this video brought back memories and a little sadness because I don't have it anymore. 😔 But, I enjoyed the ride as you climbed those steep grades...it was fun!!! 😁 Your shows are always AWESOME!!! Keep on doing 'em!!! And thanks for the ride!!! 🤗
@@ToyManTelevision , yes that's a no-brainer. But, the problem with trying to find an OMI, Inc HO brass D&RGW K-36, a pre-owned brass engine, even on eBay, is its a 1990 run. And only 80 pieces were produced. So, there won't be much luck finding one anywhere, today. I will just keep trying and hope for the best. Thanks for the suggestion! 👌😉
Keep in mind it really is just Karyn and I making these. We do it all! Graphics, sound, camera (iPhone) editing.. everything. And two a week. I still have no idea we are able to do that… but like a bumblebee we just don’t know we can’t!
I remember riding in one of those converted box car/coach cars in 1972.They bolted plastic chairs with steel legs to the floor. I’m sure it met all safety rules or maybe not🤓
I believe the elevation of Antonito is 7905 feet, Chama is 7870 feet, and Cumbres Pass is 10,015 feet. Most of the grade between Antonito and Cumbres Pass is a fairly steady 1.5%.
It’s great! Stay in Chama. Several good motels but not one good restaurant. They all went out of business with Covid. 2 new coffee shops but no food. Only thing left is Subway. Just a heads up. Bring a Hibachi!
The cubicle or Dog House on the tender was for the head end brakeman. Remember in the mountains in the winter it gets quite cold and otherwise inhospitable. There was not a lot of room in the cab for the headend brakeman.
The Friends of the C&T ran a Loco #168 excursion with the remodeled coaches and sleeper that I went on in late Sept and we were able to get some aspen leaf color in the higher elevations. The weather was picture perfect. The train only went as far as Osier. The dining hall at Osier suffered a fire and we received lunch in the form of sandwiches, fruit, chips, etc. They set up a canopy with tables roughly across from the water tank, which was quite a feat under the circumstances. I made a short video of some of the run-bys (about 8 min) and it's on my RUclips channel.
Talk about a Rocky mountain high that it was a beautiful scenic train ride is there any railroad that you haven't ridden on yet I think you might have covered them all but I could be wrong thanks for sharing
Oh there are so many that we haven’t ridden!!! It’s a ponderous bucket list. Really want to get to the Sugar Pine Railroad in California. Couple of railroads in Oregon, White Pass in Alaska, oh heck the list would go on and on
Hello ToyMan. Greaat video today. We road the route west to east in 2018 behind locomotive 484 as a birthday present. I noticed you used a sabilized camera for your video and I was wondering if you are allowed to share what that product is. I've got lots of wobbly video from our narrow gauge rides and would appreciate any help you can give.
Great video. Hey that dude filling the tender is Max! He is responsible for a lot of 168’s restoration and he’s also a locomotive engineer and fireman on the railroad. I follow him on instagram haha. Good dude.
Hum… I think so.. we have a Madam Woo where we do. But a toy man..?? Thinking.. we have the gathering of Victorian locomotives series where we do! And sunset. May be another too. Still thinking.
Is there a Y at OSIER to turn the locomotives? The last time I rode C&TSRR was 1993. Back then the steam engines changed trains and went through to the end of the line. The passenger cars went to Osier and back to their starting point. We rode from Chama to Osier and back. Stayed on the same car but were pulled back by a different loco.
Turning up the retainers makes the brakes hold at the heaviest application of the brakes so the brake line may be recharged without letting all of the car brakes off and possibly losing control of the train. It would also mean that the retainers would need to be turned back down at the bottom of the grade; in this case it would be Lobato Trestle where the grade changes from 4% to 1.5%.
Hey, Toy Man TV - you mentioned that the Cumbres and Toltec is a for-profit "working" railroad, as well as a tourist line. Do you know if any of the steam engines actually haul freight traffic for the C&T, or do they do that mainly for reenactments and photo ops? I do love a good scenic railroad, but seeing these steam locomotives run cars to industry would be the real treat for me. EDIT: On that downhill run at the start there when the brakes started to smoke, I was wondering whether they'd have to stop the train and check for a hotbox!
Back in the early days, trains had manual brakes. Brakemen would run along the top of trains and manually turn the brake wheels in response to engine whistles. The box was a place for a brakeman to get out of the weather. Air brakes and automatic couplers are not "period" correct for these 19th century engines but much much safer.
Had a question for you or someone else on the forum. The Los Pinions water tank has what appears to be a permanent ladder up to the wood shingled roof. Any idea why they would have this? The roof looks sort of new so maybe they were using it during the rebuild and just haven't removed it yet?
Hi. All the tanks have a ladder. The one in Antineto is just an aluminum extension ladder! Not sure why… but they must need to get up there often. There is a roof hatch so they can see the water… still not sure just why again…
@@ToyManTelevision I have never noticed that before. I guess I will have to ask sometime. Maybe it is to check the level every so often to make sure it is refilling/keeping up with the use.
The Dog House on the tender was for the head end brakeman. Remember in the mountains in the winter it gets quite cold and otherwise inhospitable. There was not a lot of room in the cab for the headend brakeman
Noticed that there is many without masks, there is no Federal requirement for this type of transportation? Masks Federally required on buses and light rail here in Houston, TX.
Don’t know if you’ll see this comment. I have ridden the Durango to Silverton train but have never been to Cumbres and Toltec what is your advice for a visit? Which direction would you take the ride?
Hum… well Chama is better than Antineto. We like the Elk horn Lodge in Chama. Morning in Cumbres pass is great. So ride outa Chama and bus back. Best views are on the right side of the train.
Hi. The “dog house”. When a brakeman needs to ride the locomotive on these locomotives there is no place in the cab to sit. They can stand.. but this was a place to ride. Or hide. Or whatever
There is a bus that meets the train and takes you back to the end you started. We did this in 2007, Antonito to Chama. It is part of the ticket price as well as the meal at Osier.
The trains are great but what I find more amazing is the scenery the way it goes from almost desert to beautiful mountains and pines.
This is a must do for any train or mountain scenery enthusiasts!! I prefer the ride in the opposite direction...climbing the 4% grade and not having to listen to the squealing brakes! I hear the fall with the turning aspens is the very best time to go. ...Claude
I will be bringing earplugs 👍
All things considered, not hearing the squeal going down that grade would be decidedly worse. :)
Or you could spend two days and ride it both ways
Thank you very much for taking me on this beautiful ride.I really enjoyed it thank again.
Every video from you folks is quality! It's obvious you are living your dream of chasing and riding trains! Thanks for sharing the dream! T4

That sounds cool. I remember. Rideing C&TS railroad from Chama, New Mexico to Antonito, Colorado a few August‘s ago
Very nicely done. Just the right amount of narration and nice musical selections. Thank you. I road this route in 2009, part of my big road trip upon retiring from 26.33 years of public service. Fun to see it is doing well.

Grand day out!
Thank you for taking us along on the ride.
A relaxing train ride with great narration. Super!!!
You guys have taken some neat train rides but this one has got to be one of if not the best ever. Spectacular.

What a great day . your video is better than the one from pentex.thank you have a great week
We like to watch the train coming into Osier and from other spots along the forest roads.
Awesome video. Made the trip a while back to the lunch stop. Also did the D&S and the Georgetown Loop. Super steam roads.
It was a fun day out!
What a excellent video. And content.
Thank you so much. I wish I was there.
Wonder how often they have to do a brake job. Great video..thank you.
Every few months. Goes fast. But really expensive

There is a loop to turn the locos or train at Osier not a Y.
Do you have a put that in so they would be able to take the same locomotive back in the direction it came from.
My wife and grandkids rode this 2x.
Great ride!!!
Nicely done! Question; do they stop the train on the down grade portion of the run to turn up retainers and cool the wheels? Again, very nicely done!
Turning up the retainers makes the brakes hold at the heaviest application of the brakes so the brake line may be recharged without letting all of the car brakes off and possibly losing control of the train. It would also mean that the retainers would need to be turned back down at the bottom of the grade; in this case it would be Lobato Trestle where the grade changes from 4% to 1.5%.

The box was a place for a brakeman to get out of the weather.
Air brakes and automatic couplers are not "period" correct for these 19th century engines but much much safer.
@@ScottHenion Air brakes and automatic couplers were in standard use when the K27 locos were built in 1903.
The box is called a Head-end Brakeman's Cupola, also known as a Doghouse.
Do they set retainers on downhill? If they don't how do they maintain the air? Splendid films, just like being there. Thanks for great videos
Yup. I think they do. On mixed freight they set retainers.
And the brakes go...Wheeeeeeeeeeeoooowwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
As long as the passengers don’t go Whooooh!!
Had a question for you or someone else on the forum. The Los Pinions water tank has what appears to be a permanent ladder up to the wood shingled roof. Any idea why they would have this? The roof looks sort of new so maybe they were using it during the rebuild and just haven't removed it yet?
Hi. All the tanks have a ladder. The one in Antineto is just an aluminum extension ladder! Not sure why… but they must need to get up there often. There is a roof hatch so they can see the water… still not sure just why again…
@@ToyManTelevision I have never noticed that before. I guess I will have to ask sometime. Maybe it is to check the level every so often to make sure it is refilling/keeping up with the use.
Can someone explain the purpose of the “little house” mounted on the tender??
The Dog House on the tender was for the head end brakeman. Remember in the mountains in the winter it gets quite cold and otherwise inhospitable. There was not a lot of room in the cab for the headend brakeman
Makes perfect sense. Thank you.
How far can it go before it needs more water
Depends on load. But about 10 miles.

@@ToyManTelevision That was exactly the analysis I was looking for! Thanks!
What ride did you guys do? I've looked at their website and the only way I can think of doing that is by not going back on the bus.
We went back on the bus. And drove back..
@@ToyManTelevision 😂 Must've been lots of back and forth
What's with what appears to be a cupula with windows in the center of the engine's tender?
Hi. The “dog house”. When a brakeman needs to ride the locomotive on these locomotives there is no place in the cab to sit. They can stand.. but this was a place to ride. Or hide. Or whatever

Hi. It’s from a company called Smartsound.
