Travelled this line in 2011 over two days with #18, which is currently under overhaul. It was a great trip with heaps of photos stops. Well worth the visit, especially as we were all the way from New Zealand.
at 49:45 that's my next door neighbor's property! :) And then suddenly the filming stops when they get to my property...ugh! Oh well. Write the RR and tell them to clean up all those damn cars!

Wish I could have seen the steam engine. I heard it had trouble making steam at the higher altitudes.
I didn't realize this was a trip people could take. Will definitely try it! Thanks for video!
Thanks Tom .... that was great!
you are welcome.
Neat video! I actually saw PRLX 4687 earlier last year here in Des Moines.
Some beautiful scenery for sure!!
great video
I remember when these locomotives were brand new. An Ex CSX SD60M.
verastaki -ex conrail. It’s not ex CSX it’s conrail. Get it right people.
@@NOVARailandWeatherEnthusiast Ex-CSX. EMDX>CSX>PRLX. I actually saw this unit in the winter of last year.
It looks as thought they have picked up the Iowa Pacific train painted in the Illinois Central colors. I wondered what happened to that train.......
Is Iowa Pacific holdings still a railroad company?
Yes it is, but it is more less in bankruptcy. Most of the passenger cars as well as the F and E units are for sale.
@@travelingtom923 I'm actually happy to hear the one of the E units is now in Alamosa on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad according to a Instagram post
Just a few guests there, what a shame. Thanks
I always thought that line to La Veta was narrow gauge.
Originally it was a narrow gauge line and later converted to standard gauge.
Did they buy the PRLX unit or is it on lease?
It looks fun to do but it’s so hard to book the trip when you can’t book online
Beautiful train. Why no passengers, is it that one section so barren.. love how it’s decorated.
Not sure if this is just a slow day or if it was because it was off season.
What ride this would be!

This consist makes me question reality
Yes had a little bit of everything in there.
We've joined the ghost train!
Seems like such a run down operation to me probably have left then a year left I'd say!
They are in bankruptcy unfortunately.
Looks like maybe 20 paying passengers.
That was cool
Nice

They can't make any money with an empty train! So sad.
Good it on it pulling now on
so sad they are in bankruptcy
