Never been there but it seems pretty cool with all that freight. Freight is so rare around here it would be something new for me to see.

I love it here in Flagstaff

I noticed the audio is HORRENDOUSLY out of sync

I like it they look good. And a cheap cost. Ya !!

Amazing work. I want to build Lamy station in 1/29.

Nice location with the station in the background. Excellent captures and nice crow.

K5HLs sound neat at 70 MPH

Ah I stayed in Flagstaff with my brother and parents back around 2004 I think. Flagstaff is a very busy railroad junction, and we could hear rumbling and bells all through the night! It was alright just for one night, and actually quite fun. Nice video! Simon

Nice place, Flagstaff. I stayed there a few times during my travels. Great train action and the craft beer isn't half bad, either.

😎😎

Great info overall but a few things. GTBS cannot issue authority. Authority is issued through signals, specific limits (Yard Limits, Restricted Limits) track warrant control territory, ABS, etc, so Form As cannot convey authority against the flow of traffic. That would be a signal or track warrant typically. Form As generally convey speed restrictions. Tracks out of service, unsafe conditions, etc. would be placed in the TCMs or Form Cs.

Fantastic. Beautiful place and excellent captures.

Good Job. 👍🏼

I was on this exact train, and it just so happened that there was an annular eclipse that day, and I could see the eclipse happening through the steam as 315 and 484 worked their way out of Lobato, it was so genuinely incredible!

Revolution Rail runs rail bike tours west out of South Fork as far as the truss bridge over the Rio Grande river, a little over six miles one way. There’ve also been speeder rides from South Fork to as far as the end of track a few miles south of Creede. At one time there was a planned tourist railroad between South Fork and Creede that never came to pass, but I don’t think the dream is totally DOA. There’s some rail equipment stored at the South Fork depot, including a former SP B30-7.

Honestly nothing beats a Northern. I used to love the NYC Hudsons the best, then they became second only to the Lima Berkshires but Alco's Notherns are far and away my favorite now with all the other northerns close behind xD

Thank you for an update on who bought the railroad after its bankruptcy.

I worked as an extra board trainman out of Alamosa in the early 80s. At the time, we would run all the way to Creede every other weekend to drop off empty gondolas and pick up loads of silver ore. All of the switches at Creede were stub switches. Good to see trains running down that way.

Beautiful paint job.

Interesting video. Never knew how many times the ownership Of this branch changed hands. I remember seeing a train on that section of track back in the summer of 2005.

My favorite line! Thank you for the video! Glad to hear the route is still being considered for re-activation, even if only partially. Great drone footage!

Thank you for sharing! Great historical info!

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting and great horn.

Tom, you weren't west of Monte Vista? This looks like barley going to Coors in Monte Vista.

Szép videó!😀👍

Glad to see the line survives.

Imagine a K-27 on the Silverton, they should get 464 back in Durango!

I had a couple of fabulous rides on this railroad in September '24. It was well worth travelling 5000 miles to visit 🙂 There is a fabulous contrast between the mountainous section and the desert section. Stopping for a full lunch in what to the passenger seems like the middle of nowhere was also fun.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. It was awesome to see.

I rode Goose #4 around the loop in October, 2021

Szép videó!😀👍

Ah, this is nice to see. Takes me back to when I was there in July 2023. Such a great collection! I was lucky enough to have volunteer Larry come and show me around and inside the vehicles for my video. Motor 1 looks green in your pictures. I am SURE it was black when I saw it and I've always thought of it as black. Weird! Thanks for sharing this. 👍 Simon

Hello Thomas, great video, with the K37 #493 and the diesel locomotive 101 in pairs. Thanks for showing it and a happy and healthy New Year 2025 to you and your family. Best regards Wolfgang

Great footage as usual! Thanks!

WTAF ?! , Diesels on the narrow gauge ?? This is pure B.S. The C&TS in Chama rules .

Nice video, but I much prefer steam whistles.

Awesome and the aerial footage is amazing.

MAN !!! At 3:25 to 4:08 in, I couldn't help but notice that the rail here appears to be "spaghetti"-like, (like other Tourist Railroads) and how 493 is "weaving / Rock and Rolling" while going down the road. This would concern me greatly as "she's" probably only doing 25-30 mph, but still...I personally wouldn't ride behind some Class 1's in this Country for that matter. I'm just wondering IF this is a "Construction in progress", (by laying new - straight rail), or is it a Man-Yana, (sp)? kind of thing?

An interesting catch. I would imagine it's cheaper than having a second steamer ready to double head.

Szép videó lett!😀 Nyomtam egy nagy like!👍

Usually there would be another steam locomotive for the double header that leaves with the train from the depot, you usually never see this kind of doubleheader though. Thanks for catching this! very interesting.

What a great job in creating this realism!

I have an e-clip off the bnsf transcon they are big and heavy spring steel

Ngl, I came up with my own fantasy railroad in the US, being called the PSFS (Pensacola & Santa Fe Southern) without knowing this railroad existed. The PSFS would have a fleet of F7 passenger and freight locomotives, E6 Passenger Locomotives, ES44DC Freight and (Fantasy) Passenger Locomotives, SD70ACe Yard Locomotives, GP38-2 Yard Locomotives, AlCo PA1 Locomotives, and even some (Fantasy) reproduction Baldwin Sharknose Locomotives. The line would have a passenger route from Barstow, CA to Pensacola, FL while sharing freight lines on the same route with transfer yards in San Diego, CA and Mobile, AL. Three major yards would include Barstow, CA, Pearl, MS, and Pensacola, FL. There would be subdivision off the mainline. But I discovered this railroad 8 months after coming up with it.

Hello Thomas, a beautiful Christmas train, thank you for sharing. Unfortunately, things don't always go so peacefully. Yesterday evening, December 20th, 2024, at the Christmas market in Magdeburg, a scene where a person drove into people with his car and so far five people have lost their lives and 200 have been injured, some seriously. I don't know what goes on in such people's minds. I wish you a peaceful and contemplative Christmas. Best wishes, Wolfgang

Awesome. Merry Christmas🎄
