Dual gauge.

She’s a pretty smart cookie! Great info!

1858!

Me being a HAM radio operator I have read about this. I think the 1880's is when they started??

It was facinating to learn that Denver Union Station had dual gauge track up into the 30s

Very interesting and well done thank you. Full of information! I'd suggest as a possible improvement: music more appropriate to the era being presented.

0:043 - Hang on now...can the Thomas' sent around the country run on narrow AND standard gauge track, or is this dual gauge track?

Great footage!

Hearing Thomas’s voice with real steam engine sounds is so cool! I love day out with Thomas! 😄

It is duel gauge but why 4 rails normal duel gauge has 3 rails it is because we can put are equipment in either end

The outside rails are stranded gauge and the inside rails are narrow gauge, so they can move different equipment around with different gauges.

Wonderful video. Makes me want to bring my grandkids to the museum.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤🚂🚂🚂🚂

I love the irony of the tallest man in narrowgauge painting the smallest piece of standerdgauge equipment

Awesome video - thank you. Keep up the good work! 👍

Live this series!

I think his name was Jeff, but I might’ve mistranslated it from “RAAAAAAAAAAA”, Tyrano is a very difficult language to translate

I can’t wait till I live out there and hopefully get the opportunity to operate one of your amazing locomotives

My grandfather W.S. Allen was stationmaster at Larkspur, CO. In the 1990's I was at the museum in Golden with my mom and she was searching down an engine that she said scared her brother to death as he was employed with the task of delivering the orders to the engineer holding that stick contraption while standing at the edge of the platform as that monstrous engine barrelled by. We thought we had found that engine on display at the museum but watching your videos it may have been one the large narrow guage engines she picked out. She said the engine she was talking about was the largest steam engine they ran on that southbound line out of Denver. I would guess maybe the 4-6-2 configuration standard guage? You are stating you don't have that? Do you know what the largest engine they ran down that line around 1935 to 1940 timeline?

Nice video! LIKE

It was founded in 1900 by Joshua Lionel, Cowen, and Harry Grant in N.Y

🎥👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤

That looks like such a good time! Definitely on the bucket list.

I love seeing all three Museum engines running together....346 will be back from Durango before we know it!

Wait, I know that music

donald tallman

Awesome 😀

Dont just chain it off hammond lol (Extreme niche ((brother and me)) meme)

Great photos.👍👍👍👍👍👍

Super. They have one of my favorite locomotives, a center cab (GE 44 tonner?) switcher in CB&Q paint. I also vividly remember the vending machine that turned a penny into a souvenir, and when the museum trackage was connected to the C&S "Coors" branch line, and I remember being amazed that the steam locomotive pulling the passenger train could stay on the track on the museum's sharp curves, and the view of the museum's collection from the train was awesome. Please make sure all future locomotives and rolling stock have access to the main line loop, and are accessible and operable from the new property, unlike those beautiful F units, and hopefully three rail everything so that your standard gauge collection can get a workout also. Good video. 💙 T.E.N.

Cool photos Stephen!

The Irony of the demise of the Rock Island was that a Rail worker strike is what killed the company. All those workers that went on strike were then out of work entirely.

Excellent presentation on the history of Dome Cars which l enjoyed during the 1970's riding the Rio Grande Zephyr on trains 17 & 18 with my family. And in memory of Robert W. Richardson I thank everyone at the CRRM s belmont

EOTDs "End Of Train Devices", defect detectors, & dragging equipment detectors replaced the cabooses. When the cabooses retired & got replaced by new technology, it made the job easier, faster, safer, & saves the railroads money too. Also comfort was another reason why they replaced the cabooses because of the pull in the slack between the couplers. The longer the train, the harder & louder the pull is in the slack when it begins to move. Since the caboose was the last car on the train, it would get pulled with the most amount of force & sometimes threw the crewmen down out of the cupola & onto the floor too which was one of the reasons why many railroads switched to bay window cabooses for better safety. Today a new caboose would cost $80,000 while a new EOTD would cost only $4,500. I do miss seeing cabooses at the ends of trains but it's good news for the railroads because it saves them money & they don't have to work as hard.

C W Mccall made an excellent song about the geese.

Denver Leadville & Gunnison 191

i always thought her 5 chime was from 318 is it?

I worked there when It was Rader Railcar I Denver and Rader Railcar II ft. Lupton. Loved it! Loved trains!!!!

That Paint booth was spectacular!!!

I wish I had taken pictures of all phases of the build but out of respect for t Tom Rader I never did. 😢

I built those the marlboro unlimited, florida fun train, princess tours and GCRC!

Thank you! This was so interesting and informative! Women had an opportunity to travel , live, and work in areas they would never have seen otherwise!
