In the spring of 2007 my wife and I took a 48 day vacation from here in Georgia to the western US. Of all the trains we rode while out there we enjoyed the Cumbres & Toltec Narrow Gauge Scenic RR the most. It was well worth the expense of the trip. This video brought back some wonderful memories and make we wish we could go back.

I LOVE those awesome "K"- class narrow gauge steam engines, including this #484 K-36 steam engine in the video. I LOVE watching 'em all in action. 😊

My late wife and I took this journey with engine #484 in the Fall of 2010 (I believe that was the correct year, a trip we never forgot. The Aspens were in full Fall glory and the weather was crisp and gorgeous. I also have to mention the lunch stop up in the mountains. Fantastic food! Great memories. Thanks for such a beautiful video!!!

Wonderful footage of 489 and her beautiful 6 chime!

My wife and I rode the C & T about a decade ago. One of the best steam rides in the U.S. We took the trip in the early Fall and the Aspen were in full color. Incredible. Also loved the lunch stop at the lodge halfway through. This is a must do for rail lovers! 3

Elegant. Thumbs up!

I'm in the process of rewatching this video and I gotta say someday I can't wait to finally make it there. Great video

I rode on 489 in 2013 loved it! Bobby I.

Wow, wonderful! Beutiful steams locomotives, beautiful trains! A new friend here! Congratulations from Romania! 💯

I'm going to comment about this steam engine hauled sights and scene train journey on a different way Well first of all let me tell you who am ? A pkistani citizen age 75. Born in India and migrated with parents on partition of British India because my father had been employed by Indian railway 🚂. After the retirement I had been employed as goods train guard and worked for,5 years ,I still appreciate those steam engines and their drivers and firemen. You won't imagine the tea served by firemen properly brewed in the mug on top of injecter. Lately here in Pakistan we have been watching train running at 110 miles per hour whereas Indian railway are much better 190 or more per hour I have enjoyed your video fully Thank you for showing me beautiful steam engine and scenic views Jamil Hussain Dina Jhelum Pakistan April,11, 2023

You got a long haul of video of this railroad, More than I did... 10/10

Any single image on this video is absolutely proper for a postcard. Congratulations!

This video is like pro stats dude. Looks like a paid photographer took this! WELL DONE MARK 👍

GAH I REALLY NEED TO GET BACK THERE. Great job + Love 489's whistle/new-ish look

Dude, literally all of these videos are top notch. Great work.

Wow! Incredible video! Makes me want to get out there more than I already did!

The Cumbres & Toltec is a 64 mile round trip from Chama and Antonito. It's a great railroad. I have visited the railroad since July 2016.

Truly amazing!

Love it Mark

I really like 489’s SP 6 Chime! This footage is seriously theater worthy! Absolutely splendid work, Mark!

Very good quality video.

Trem passando perto de casa, quanta saudade

Great video Mark!

Congratulations on this excellent video! It is one of the best I have seen on steam locomotives. The editing of this video, without any doubt, was done with great competence. Once again, congratulations! (Greetings from Brazil)

I'm early again😂. Time to watch this video but i know it'll be great! I want to go to the C&TS one day soon.

11:25 I like how they brought it to s sliding stop

The fire fighter 59:55 and again 1:04:20. When the fire risk is high he tows a water tank with his speeder. And when the fire risk is really high, there is a water tank behind the locomotive spraying the sides of the right of way.

Great video! Two questions for the ones who can answer : what is the little dog house on the tender? How can I get the job running the “chase” car down the track?😂

fantastico

I remember her when she ran converted cattle cars as passenger cars. 1980's. Glad she went to actual passenger cars. Is the route still the same as it was in the 1980's or did they slim it down a bit?

Please can somebody tell me what the little shed like structure is on the tender? lovely filming a pleasure to watch.

Well that is suprising 489’s plow is off and I do wish 497 was back in service, but that will be a while

The footage look better when you film it!

What do you use to shoot can I ask? I like the visual quality & color rendering. Thanks~.

Did the Durango and Silverton once connect to the Cumbres and Toltec? And if so then was it one railroad? I’d be tempted to move to an area where one of these steam railroads operate but Colorado seems expensive to live in.

My uncle was originally gonna be visiting this tourist line this summer but due to covid 19 of course he cancelled his trip and he says despite that he cancelled his trip he's still gonna go but probably after the pemdemic is over whenever that'll be since I've heard many people saying this will go on til the end of the year or maybe into next year. I mean I'm worried too but I'm not gonna worry to much all we can do is wait and hopefully maybe there's a chance we can beat it and get back to our normal lives eventually

Founded in 1970 after The Alamosa-Durango lines been abandoned in 1968 by successful of Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad.

Have you ever çovered anything about Boston and Maine…?

Great video of train. What time of year was this taken, with snow on ground? Thanks 🙏

What's the tractive effort for this locomotive?

Were there two separate trains running east in one day?

are these narrow gauge? great scenery and nostalgia. but such a polluter.

Wakt masih kecil sering main ke DIPO ,cita cita pengin jadi teknisi KA , e.....gak kesampean ,yg skarang jadi INKA ,dulu PNKA.

Great video, the only thing about US railroading that I cannot stand are those bloody awful bells, they drive me nuts and have mute the audio.

Noice

😘

At 11:25 you can see the wheels on this locomotive lock up before it stops.

Wakt Mash sekolah naik KA Surbaya Jakarta PP sering tdk beli karcis ,pakai kartu verbiet,at pakai memo sekolah,(lupa namanya) ,sekarang ap boleh ha.......!

my momas rigtone

Jangkriknya gede gede ,ad yg jliteng,jrabang, gandang suaranya. ha.. .

This constant dinging of the bell is quite annoying it takes away the majestic & power of the steam noise. In my opinion the bell is unnecessary the steam locomotive noise is more than enough

Nice
