I had my first student fireman trip on this day... I was on the 482. Thanks for getting it on film, it was one of the days I will never forget.

Love D&SNG! I had known about it for years, but did not get to ride until Sept 9, 2014. The plan was train to Silverton, bus back to Durango. On that morning, however, the second train (ours) left Durango behind #482 under a drizzle, but up in the San Juan Mountains, that drizzle was a deluge. The water stop at Tank Creek seemed awful long. The conductor came into the car to explain why: Both of that morning's trains were being turned back, because the tracks ahead had been washed over by a flash-flooded rill down the trackside slope (mud?). We saw the other train, already turned around, waiting for us to clear the mainline switch at--I think it was the Midway Depot--the wye. After that train left, we backed into the wye, and another long wait began. I suppose that long wait was to allow the other train to clear the Horseshoe Curve. We passed the time, drinking coffee, watching the rain fall harder and watching the river rise. We got twice as much train ride as we paid for--and I am not complaining--but we never made it to Silverton. I suppose, I have to go back to finish the trip. Oh, darn! :D

I rode this with my pops in summer 1981

I rode behind 486 on June 22 or 23, 2012! We were the last train out!

There are 4 K-36 in D&SNG there are 480,481,482 and 486

I rode to Silverton on June 9, 2017 behind loco 486

BTW nice new paint for Hot Shot 1

Looks like a lot of people ride this line.. I am glade they can keep it running and funded..

Should get a D&RGW 5 Chime like that, one for Strasburg 90 and one for Santa Fe 3751!

Yes 482 is running

119 is departing omaha depot

Im confuzzled, at 1:00:00, 481 goes by twice. Same at hermosa,she had to wait for the other train but then the next shot was 481 going through hermosa with no hangup. Were some of these shots taken on different days?

anyone else see that piece of coal fall off the tender? 3:39

Estou tendo um dejavu
