I “Chased and Paced” the “Opening Day” trains to Silverton, Saturday May 6th 2023. I caught steam locomotive K37 #493 departing from the Durango Depot and chased it to Shalona. I missed the first train (earlier departure,) The Presidential Train, pulled by K28 #473 but caught its arrival in Silverton as well as visiting RGS Goose #5. The Silverton Brass Band played, people dressed in old west attire and locals celebrated the trains arrivals kicking off the 2023 summer season. More and longer clips coming soon including turning moves, departures and back in the lower Animas valley.
ENJOY,
Bob

493’s stack talk at 3:51 was absolutely epic! And that Long-Bell 3 Chime couldn’t be topped!

Hi KJF, Thanks for watching and your nice comments. I like the whistle also except when it squeals.

Hi Bob, Awesome video from the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Great the K37 # 493 and the K28 # 473 two excellent steam locomotives. And as a special vehicle, a galloping goose. Very nicely filmed a great video. Thanks for showing and greetings from Germany

What do the workers do during the winter?

Hi Alowat, Thanks for watching. The railroad only shuts down at the end of October, (3 weeks) then the Cascade Canyon Express and Polar Express start about Thanksgiving. About half (90, when I worked there) of the employees are year-round. Round house and car shop keep busy with major work and maintenance for the next season. Some of the train crew work in the shops off season.
