great scenery all along with the river which looks to be flowing at quite a speed....love hearing the steam engine chuffing along and no talking..a great shot of the engine head on....wow..that canyon is deep....like that push me - pull me diesel engine....
Great videos as always. I am an Anglo-Kiwi and when I retired in 1994, we went to North America for 3 months including a month in Canada and two months driving across USA from Boston to Seattle. We visited Durango, which we thought the best of the old cowboy towns. We then drove up to Silverton. I remember there was a statue there of the madam who ran the local brothel. In a mining town she was highly regarded.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. In some ways this line reminded of the Taieri Gorge Railway, the colour of the carriages and the deep gorge. I caught the Canadian across Canada in January a few years ago, that was amazing, but I only ever passed through American airports on my way from the UK to New Zealand, this was my first proper visit to the USA, I had a great time. I'd love to do as you did and spend 3 months touring, but I can't get that much time off work, maybe when I retire. I missed the statue of the madam, although there was a place called "The Shady Lady".
Another excellent video. River is not as spectacular as #2 video except in highlight starting at 25:00 of the gorge from the cliff on the ‘highline’ which is really pretty. Started to rain at 10:00 as rocks are wet and shiny. The steam engines are really beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I just finished viewing all three parts of the trip to Silverton. Your use of multiple cameras if great. It captured the trip very well. there are views that I have not seen before. It has to be a great trip. It made my afternoon very enjoyable.
I've seen most of your videos especially your Switzerland trip and I really like and enjoying it so much...so happy that I can travel my dream place(Switzerland) through your videos....I wish you could travel more around the world especially Switzerland.....😄😀😘 P.S.-Please take me to Switzerland....😅😆
Hi Janet, it did look a bit dangerous at times, especially knowing that the rocks do tumble down the mountain side occasionally, but I satisfied myself that statistically I was ten times more likely to win a big lottery payout, than fall victim to a falling rock.
Hello Tim, different colors of rocks in and around the river and of river water itself made me curious. In addition, Silverston was a silver camp and there is the 'Mineral Creek' (17:20). I found at web confirmation to geochemists Animas River area is more than feast to eyes. - Heinz p.s. Maybe feast to nose and ears, too.
Thanks for link. After reading I've to say river Animas is still very acidic indicated by orange-red colored stones at water. At silver and gold mining locations there are always lots of toxic chemical elements present. Article about geochemistry of Silverton area published 1995 confirm that. Closed mines are always a big danger to humans, animals and environment.
I love the sound of American steam locomotive whistles, this train really announced its arrival into Silverton in grand style, with its glorious chime whistle. I'd love to fit one to my car, that would be fun.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. The track gauge is 3 ft (914 mm). To learn more about the railway, please click on this link - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durango_and_Silverton_Narrow_Gauge_Railroad
Yeah, Tim! You've definitely got me as a subscriber! This journey op the Durango-Silverton route is one of the absolute best that I have ever seen! Only one thing could possibly make the trip any better... if you could have shot the whole series in stereo 3D!
Hello Tim! Me and my family have all seen 3 parts and are just thrilled. These beautiful shots of this area are simply fascinating. In this area, the fox and the rabbit say goodnight. We have to thank you for the wonderful videos you presented to us this year. We have all seen them. We wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please continue as before. Greetings from Hans from the Millquarter in Upper Austria. 👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂
Hello Johann, I am pleased you enjoyed all three parts, it was the film industry that helped keep trains running, because it featured in a number of Westerns featuring people such as John Wayne, Robert Redford and Paul Newman. If this railway had closed along with the other narrow gauge lines owned by the Rio Grande Railway Company, it would have been a tragedy, fortunately it had always attracted tourists, helped by the film industry, so it remained open long after most of the other lines closed. Today three tourist railways keep memories of the once extensive narrow gauge system alive, the Georgetown loop, the Cumbres and Toltec along with the Durango and Silverton Railroad. I will upload videos showing the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad around Christmas time. I would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas from Southern England. Best wishes. Tim.
Thank you, I am glad you liked it. I enjoyed watching one of your videos - Snow and trains. ”Special video for Finland’s 100 Independence day”. Best wishes from West Sussex, England.
Hi, I'm really pleased you enjoyed them. I still have a lot to post from my Colorado tour including the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad. 2017 Was a really good year for filming trains, I just need to find time to edit them all, hopefully I will post the Cumbres and Toltec shortly after Christmas.
Hi, the music is ES_Quentino 7 from epidemicsound.com, listed in the credits at the end of the video. Just checked the website, it appears to have been renamed "Late Nite Session" from a collection "Sixteen Wheelers" - You can buy it here - www.amazon.co.uk/Late-Nite-Session/dp/B07QPPMPB3 or you could take a TH-cam subscription with epidemicsound.com.
To była niesamowita przejażdżka pociągiem, bez dróg, tylko rzeka, kolej i przyroda. Google Translate - It was an amazing train ride, no roads, just the river, railroad and nature.
Yep, I'm a bit camera shy and I only speak on a couple of my videos, I do appear occasionally. Maybe I'll try this new connect with your fan-base thing You Tube have introduced to post a photo of myself.
Hey Neil, I appear in this video - th-cam.com/video/fUOXTcCpp4Y/w-d-xo.html in a speed boat with my wife at 00:11 and again at 01:39 on a pump trolley.
It may be romantic to think of cowboys herding cattle in Silverton, but at 9,300 feet up that was never going to happen 😉. Lots of drunken silver miners though. Silverton only has a population of around 630, but is the county seat of San Juan County -- with all of 701 people! I drove there from Durango in the late 80's over two 10,000 foot passes and got there before the first train, so the town was pretty much empty.
Hi, this was my first visit to the USA, I loved every moment. My impression of American life was gained from watching movies, especially Westerns. Silverton looked just like the towns portrayed in old films. Coming from the UK where our mountains are mere pimples compared with those in Colorado, it hadn't occurred to me that cattle were unlikely to be found at such heights. I would love to return and spend a couple of days filming the trains from the line-side some day. I'd also love to do the drive from Durango to Silverton. The population of Silverton must more than double in the tourist season, although I imagine it must be bleak in the depths of winter.
The Cumbrian Mountains are pretty impressive in Britain. In the mid-70's, when I was stationed in Germany with the US Army, I drove over using the Hook of Holland-Harwich ferry, drove to the small town I lived in as a boy in the fifties near Manchester then drove up to Carlisle which I used as a base of operation to drive around the Cumbrian mountains among other things. Those one lane roads with 25% or more grades are far more hair-raising than any main road in the Colorado Rockies!
Your time in Europe back in the seventies must have been interesting. Some of the roads in Britain are pretty hair raising, especially in Cumbria, Wales and parts of the West Country, although the most dangerous I have driven were in New Zealand and one in Crete (Greek Island) where my wife made me stop the car so she could walk, I would love to have got out and walked as well, but it wasn't an option. The roads I traveled along in Colorado were generally well engineered, although travelling by coach, I was never likely to experience the back roads.
Your videos are simply the best! Got an idea - with 19K subscribers, I'm sure if you created some rail tours with you as leader, you'd be very successful! I'd be first to sign up.
Hello Hugh, your comment means a lot to me. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Our tour leader on this tour told me, "I love my job, I get to see wonderful places and get paid for it". I have been approached several times to take tour groups to New Zealand, it is very tempting, maybe when I retire from work, it is some I will do for a couple of years. If I do I'll be sure to let you know.
Great scenery, Good photography, & terrible editing! My eyes hurt from watching this constant flipping around in all 3 parts. I really wanted to enjoy this.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I finally got around to watching this video. Much better although an occasional side glancing view would be nice unlike the first that I watched. So, Yes. I liked it and I will say while watching it, I knew where I had been. LOL Thank you
Nice river ya got there, be a shame if someone did something stupid to turn it green by "accident." EPA, "Hold my beer and watch this!" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Gold_King_Mine_waste_water_spill Love this train trip. The Cumbrea and Toltek is another great steam trip.
Hi, thanks for the link, I'd heard about the accidental spill, but my knowledge was limited, so it was good to read about it and learn what really happened. The Cumbres and Toltec Railroad is awesome, I visited it as part of this railtour around the railways of Colorado. Cheers. Tim.
So so beautiful! I think part 3 is my favorite of these Durango and beyond videos. Thank you, it's so relaxing!
Hi, it's really nice to know you enjoyed these videos, the Durango and Silverton is one of my all-time favourite railways🙂.
Absolutely wonderful.
Thank you.
great scenery all along with the river which looks to be flowing at quite a speed....love hearing the steam engine chuffing along and no talking..a great shot of the engine head on....wow..that canyon is deep....like that push me - pull me diesel engine....
That is breath taking

Thanks for the video, great camera work. All three were well done.
Thank you, I'm really pleased you enjoyed all three videos.

Once again. Very cool, and thanks for labeling things. I like to know what I'm looking at and it makes it more interesting.
Hi Len, I'm glad you enjoyed the journey, it's not your everyday train ride.

looks dangerious with all those huge rocks falling--ty for video.
Hi Janet, it did look a bit dangerous at times, especially knowing that the rocks do tumble down the mountain side occasionally, but I satisfied myself that statistically I was ten times more likely to win a big lottery payout, than fall victim to a falling rock.
The steam train is number one in the World.
beautiful place and video

20:40 .. Train Horn.. I just went blasting it full volume in my speakers, sounded realistic and ritualistic.

Hi Neil, I'm glad you enjoyed them. The guy in a couple of the stills was our tour guide, he was enjoying the tour just as much as the participants.
So it wasn't you then, Tim! A bit camera-shy ay? LOL
