Thank you. I rode on this line in 1984 with my wife and little girl. We rode on it because the kid was crazy for trains. We had a wonderful time and i have so many memories of that day. You can not explain to some one who doesn't know just how wonderful riding on a steam train is.
Glad to see your Interested as a Young man, in Steam Machines of yesterday , that BUILT America one mile at a time . Steam was KING .... And in some ways REMAINS so : ) One of the LARGEST machines in the world , a US Navy Aircraft Carrier ,RUNS on STEAM !! all the Nuclear reactor does ,is HEAT water to make STEAM that turns the Propellers : ) (Steam Driven Turbines Turn the Propeller Shafts )
Having been fortunate enough to have travelled the world in search of steam railways I can easily say that the Cumbres & Toltec is, in my opinion, my favourite steam railway. The scenery, the railway engineering and the friendly railway staff are the best.

A lifetime steam fan now in Spain. The narrow gauge Gandia to Alcoy line "el tren Ingles ran just 200 m from my casita in Gaianes , used by my dad , spare time as cook/steward on McAndrew vessels
I am re-enactor of the Old West in northern central Arizona as A Highwayman, I love reading books about Old West especially in Arizona read couple books involving train robberies. I watched this video and think of Old West frontier. The mechanism of these train engines amaze me. Good job

And with the approaching Space Age, the old Steam Age hardiness must make a return. Until we figure out space elevators or antigravity or orbital tethers or stargates we ain't getting up there, but once we do we are going to need the old "Built to Last" design goals or else nobody will survive out there.

Very cool content! Appreciate that there was no music other than that steam engine! This just came up in my feed, first time ever. Liked so much I subscribed. Cheers.
Great video! This is a very good study of steam locomotive suspension at work. You can see the equalizers and trailing truck interplay with the natural undulations of the track as it goes over the road. Neat to see it in action. I very much appreciated this video, thanks.
You did a great job on this video. I've got a couple clips of C&T engines pulling out over on my channel. I can't get enough of C&T, so going back in 2023!
Outstanding Video study of the Baldwin K27 Locomotive in ACTION !! wow Magnificent Filming of my FAVORITE Steam Narrow gauge Locomotive ! Impressive and Delightful I should say Many thanks !! My grandfather and an uncle both worked at Baldwin Locomotive Works and Baldwin Lima Hamilton as it once became : ) Cheers ~
In my youth went on the Cornish Riviera Express, Paddington to Penzance , hauled by King class & double headed for the Dainton incline. 1955 approx ,comfortable good food & cheaper than by car .
My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🚋🚊🛤🚞🚝🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃 especially steam locomotives 🚂 like 463. He says what he likes about it is its smaller size and high pitched whistle which makes it different from all the other steam locomotives on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. He also hopes that steam locomotive #497 is restored to operation soon and the line between Chama and Durango is rebuilt and used again as well as the line to Torrington and the Rio Grande Southern Railroad but he doesn't want that to be wishful thinking he wants it to be a reality! He hopes that the Denver & Rio Grande Western line to Santa Fe is restored and the line to Alamosa is either converted back to narrow gauge or a third rail is added so narrow gauge trains can run on it as well. He really believes that it would increase business in Durango & Silverton and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroads and give the passengers a change of scenery.
@@WW2Hangar yes many years ago. We was just there at Christmas and they had #152 running that's when I found out they took 464 down for a rebuild. They just posted a Job Listing on their Facebook looking for volunteers to help with the rebuild of 464
Love the old steam trains. I live in a small town and the railroad known as the clinchfield railroad. Which we had a steam train that CSX got it gone from it's right home and now is in museum in Ohio. The railroad is just about gone here in our town and I wish that the towns people would get together and bring our steam engine back home where it belongs. It's very sad
The K-27 locomotives were built with their frames outside the wheels to allow for a much larger boiler without increasing the total height. As a result the engine looks compact like you mentioned, despite being quite large for its gauge.
Narrow gauge locomotives were NOT built for speed , but for Pulling Power ,Hence smaller driving wheels unlike Mainline standard Gauge locomotives of the Day .The narrow gauge rails , Sharp Curves and Mountainous track , required slower speeds and lots of Power : ) These locomotives performed exceedingly well on these narrow rails and steep curves .
463 can now make 80km/h with better balanced drivers it can do 170 km/h. Left front wheel, add to counterweight 5 cm from wheel ring, 60g second wheel reduce 78g, 3rd wheel add 90g 4th reduse 67g. Right side add 75g reduce 87g add 69g reduce 89g
It can go 60km/h. With balanced wheels it can go 130. Left front add 45g second add 60g 3rd reduce 80g 4th reduce 30g Right side front driver reduce 90, Add 60 add 56 reduce 87. last add 80g only. Is 5 cm from wheelring.
@@WW2Hangar no sir ..... I was imaging that train is me....at the moment when he start to walk ...I started to cry ... I felt that is my life and I sacrificed to my dream ....everything I say "I walk slow forward but I'll never walk backward ...and this amazing train ever seen ,,, finaly I find my train!
What a grand good looig old engine.I cold watch this for hours. Thanks for for this crisp and beautifully shot clip. They are huge piston valves-I wonder if the engine originally had slide valves? I must do some research! :-)
To be honest I was just passing through this area of the country and saw they were about the leave. Spoke to someone that was worming there and they told me where to get a great shot of it leaving the station. I could also watch this for hours. Glad you enjoyed it🍻
Out of curiosity, is the whistle on this locomotive original to it? Many of the other locomotives I have seen on the Cumbres and Toltec line have the Rio Grande "chime" whistle. I have ridden the Durango and Silverton line twice and the Georgetown Loop twice, but never got down to Antonito to ride this line. It is on the bucket list to do...
@@WW2Hangar The Durango and Silverton is a water grade and is mostly about the scenery. The Georgetown Loop is only about 6 miles but climbs about 900 feet. There is a very high bridge where the locomotive crawls over it at less than 10mph. You can feel the bridge shaking..they use Shays sometimes to pull maybe 6 gondolas or passenger cars. I want to ride the Cumbres line partly because of the 4% climb from Chama to the summit. Having walked or driven a lot of abandoned railbeds, it would be cool to experience it as it originally was.

Actually 463 is done of 3 k 27s still around 464 and 455

@@WW2Hangar The Durango and Silverton is a water grade and is mostly about the scenery. The Georgetown Loop is only about 6 miles but climbs about 900 feet. There is a very high bridge where the locomotive crawls over it at less than 10mph. You can feel the bridge shaking..they use Shays sometimes to pull maybe 6 gondolas or passenger cars.
