Have you taken a ride on Durango & Silverton before? Footage: Great Scenic Railway Journeys Greg Sholls Railway Productions The Silverton by C.W. McCAll
I just want you to be aware that they are playing this exact video through the sound system at the Riverside And Great Northern Railway, I recognized the sound effects.
M 60, was a railfan ever since Male 02 ! Dad took us on that train when I was 16.. and much of my handcrafted model railroad was inspired by the D&RG. Great video, and timeless song. CWMcAll wrote some great songs
@@wilks3620 since it’s dashcams usually you hear whatever they’re listening to or talking about. Actually a pretty lucky crash in the video ua-cam.com/video/pqxY31jP1d0/v-deo.html
She was born one mornin' on a San Juan summer Back in eighteen and eighty and one She was a beautiful daughter of the D and R G And she weighed about a thousand ton Well, it's a-forty-five mile through the Animas canyon So they set her on the narra gauge She drank a whole lot a' water And she ate a lot of coal And they called her the Silverton (Silverton train) Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow Well, now listen to the whistle in the Rock Wood cut On the high line to Silverton town And you're gonna get a shiver When you check out the river Which is four hundred feet straight down Take on some water at the Needleton tank And then a-struggle up a two-five grade And by the time you get your hide Past the Snowshed slide You've had a ride on the Silverton (Silverton train) Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow Now, down by the station, early in the mornin' There's a whole lot a' people in line And they all got a ticket On The Train To Yesterday And it's a-gonna leave on time Well, it's a forty-five mile up the Animas canyon So they run her on the narra gauge She takes a whole lot a' water And she needs a lot of coal And they call her the Silverton (Silverton train) Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
I have family that used to live in Durango but moved to Bayfield and when I went to Colorado twice to see them I rode on that train and it’s an experience I would recommend if you ever plan on going to Colorado👍
@@literaldirt actually they used to own it but they sold the Durango & Silverton a long time ago because the rent the Denver and Rio Grande didn't want to maintain it another person bonded and turned it into a business of the Durango & Silverton that's why it says a beautiful daughter
Though they’re no longer shoveling coal(RIP coal burning on the D&S), we still see her coming up from Durango, and we still see the smoke and hear the whistle blow. Here Comes The Silverton!!
The Silverton is like: Alright boys, we are going to take a train through the FUCKING ROCKIES, and we are also going to be on time. Amtrak: Alright boys, we have a mostly flat land and trains that can go 100 MPH and we are are going to be 6 hours late.
We can now all officially say that the first locomotive seen in this video powered the last coal-powered train on the Durango and Silverton. A very sad day. No more is the Silverton “A-Shoveling Coal”.
The silverton does not refer to a specific locomotive it just refers to the Durango and silverton railroad itself and they run K36 mikados 461 is a K27 not a K36
person 1: DESPACITO IS BETTER THAN ANY SONG IN THE WORLD person 2: THATS A DEAD MEME, OLD TOWN ROAD IS BETTER. me: HERE COMES TEH SILVERTON UP FROM DURANGO HERE COME S TEH SILVERTON SHOVELIN' COAL
Here's a link to a song of her, ua-cam.com/video/qfiHDsIXKjQ/v-deo.html, and a link to another song you should make a music video for, ua-cam.com/video/n98-yvuu_tw/v-deo.html, and here's a link to some footage you should use, ua-cam.com/video/QNSV8WFi1yM/v-deo.html
@@sirensandrailroadsofoklahoma I know this sounds insane, but I actually rode behind engine 464 and they actually played a song about the locomotive, it's an actual song.
This is gonna be stuck in my head all night. . . 😁
Yeah
Is that a bad thing tho
Yay
She is a beautiful train. That 45 miles is on my bucket list if at all possible.
C.W. McCall is one of my favorite country singers, I know him for is song “Convoy” in 1975
he did convoy?
@@TheAtlantaRailfan mhm
SAME
I hear convoy in GTA V
Me to
C. W. McCall was one of the best singers from back then. I could listen to his music all day.
There's also a song by the same guy about the Galloping Goose
Oh no
"She weighed about a thousand tons"
God, when I heard that phrase before seeing the pictures had me ROLLING ON THE FLOOR
Riding the Silverton is on my bucket-list. I'll get out to Colorado someday and ride it!
patluvsvettes me to
Its on mine too! My aunt got to go, but i was home ill
I don't like riding trains
I like to railfan them instead
Same
From a person who lives there its worth it just for this
I just want you to be aware that they are playing this exact video through the sound system at the Riverside And Great Northern Railway, I recognized the sound effects.

C.W. performed at either the D&S or the C&T a few years back. Love almost all his songs.
I rode it this summer. AWESOME.
Here after hearing this on DashCam Owners Australia, I love this song now
Link? I dont watch that but it's not a song I would think they would use lol.
@@wilks3620 since it’s dashcams usually you hear whatever they’re listening to or talking about.
Actually a pretty lucky crash in the video
ua-cam.com/video/pqxY31jP1d0/v-deo.html
@@wilks3620 it was playing on a car stereo when the driver had a stroke and crashed, eerie soundtrack to listen to
I like the fact that he said 18 and 80 and 1 instead of 1881
This videos is absolutely amazing, it should be used as an advertisement to the Durango and Silverton railway
Durango and siverton narrow gauge railroad actually
@@legotrainkidjelly833 who cares
Why you mean
i care lol
@@marklinproductions2180 thank you for careing
At 2:21 just to the right of the locomotive you can see two railroad crossing signals in Durango and Silverton's junkyard.
1:30 I like that shot.
I can tell why
Same
I like how you timed the music with the steam coming out of the pistons
I’m here in Durango Colorado right now love this line.👍
The sliverton !! 😊
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see you back! I've kinda been late getting into your videos but I hope this means more will come. Great work with this one.
Glorious! Well done, and thank you for posting it!
Great Awesome and one hell of a song too. Sad that “416” Fire near Durango is stopping all operations in Durango and to Silverton. 😢🔥
GREAT NEWS THE FAMOUS D&S IS BACK!!!!!
@@NSS247 f yes
Awesome
There convert them to burn oil so can still run steam
I have went to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad back in July 3rd 2016, and later in June 2022. But I hope one day to come back again.
RIP CW McCall
F
It’s a great ride to Silverton.
This song has been stuck in my head since summer
She was born one mornin' on a San Juan summer
Back in eighteen and eighty and one
She was a beautiful daughter of the D and R G
And she weighed about a thousand ton
Well, it's a-forty-five mile through the Animas canyon
So they set her on the narra gauge
She drank a whole lot a' water
And she ate a lot of coal
And they called her the Silverton (Silverton train)
Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango
Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal
Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon
See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Well, now listen to the whistle in the Rock Wood cut
On the high line to Silverton town
And you're gonna get a shiver
When you check out the river
Which is four hundred feet straight down
Take on some water at the Needleton tank
And then a-struggle up a two-five grade
And by the time you get your hide
Past the Snowshed slide
You've had a ride on the Silverton (Silverton train)
Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango
Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal
Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon
See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango
Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal
Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon
See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Now, down by the station, early in the mornin'
There's a whole lot a' people in line
And they all got a ticket
On The Train To Yesterday
And it's a-gonna leave on time
Well, it's a forty-five mile up the Animas canyon
So they run her on the narra gauge
She takes a whole lot a' water
And she needs a lot of coal
And they call her the Silverton (Silverton train)
Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango
Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal
Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon
See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango
Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal
Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon
See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Here comes the Silverton, up from Durango
Here comes the Silverton, a-shovelin' coal
Here comes the Silverton, up from the canyon
See the smoke and hear the whistle blow
Small detail but it’s D&RG
Took the time to write that out. Nice!
@@DanTDMJace pronounced the same so I think it makes it through
Listen closely to the high hat symbols in the mix. They sound like a locomotive going full steam
Great orchestral detail.
Nice touch Chip.
I have family that used to live in Durango but moved to Bayfield and when I went to Colorado twice to see them I rode on that train and it’s an experience I would recommend if you ever plan on going to Colorado👍
The DurNgo & Silverton railroad is one of my to ride bucket list of trains to ride on.
Great video👍
Nice video ! 🚂
this was awesome, earned a sub
Loved this!
My uncle visted the durango and silverton railroad last year summer in july 2018 he got to ride behind the doubleheader
One of my goals is to ride this! And I plan to ride behind 481, she’s my favorite locomotive!
Ive listened to the song one time, And now ive listened to it like, I dont know...80 Times!? LOL!
Did a round trip in September of 2016--wonderful,
does he say "she was a beautiful daughter of the D&RG" or another railroad other than D&S
@@viarailrblx actually, D&RG is the Denver & Rio Grande RR which also had a NG system
Yes, that is what he said.
D&RGW, also known as Denver and Rio Grande Western, owned the D&S, hence the white, black, and yellow paint scheme.
@@literaldirt actually they used to own it but they sold the Durango & Silverton a long time ago because the rent the Denver and Rio Grande didn't want to maintain it another person bonded and turned it into a business of the Durango & Silverton that's why it says a beautiful daughter
@@lnx2262 wait isn’t the D&RG 3ft witch it narrow gauge ?
Though they’re no longer shoveling coal(RIP coal burning on the D&S), we still see her coming up from Durango, and we still see the smoke and hear the whistle blow. Here Comes The Silverton!!
I love this song
That was a very nice video
Thanks Bus man 101
Great train song !
Awesome video 👍
Fun fact, I have a decal of D&S 482 on my bedroom wall
I rode behind 482!
Nice
0:35 I can hear the 416 fire laughing at that line right now.
yay the durango train
I've been wanting a ride on this thing
I was lucky enough to ride on the Silver vista car best view
The Silverton is like: Alright boys, we are going to take a train through the FUCKING ROCKIES, and we are also going to be on time.
Amtrak: Alright boys, we have a mostly flat land and trains that can go 100 MPH and we are are going to be 6 hours late.
Thanks hyce talking about drgw
My new favorite song
We can now all officially say that the first locomotive seen in this video powered the last coal-powered train on the Durango and Silverton. A very sad day. No more is the Silverton “A-Shoveling Coal”.
Done it and Love it!
All aboard!🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋
I feel like this song would be in a Disney film, after all, Walt Disney loved trains.
The Railroad Song ever
This Song is so Catchy
1881!
That's 140 years ago
I’m going to the silverton today
Finally!!!
this is a train that runs on clear creek narrow gauge railway in idaho
Geo gent no its better take a ride on it and yull rethink that.
No, it runs up the Animas canyon in Durango, Colorado
I finally got to ride it
0:39 which clip did you take?
I don’t know why on the front of some of the locomotives boilers the front of the boiler is bigger than the number plate.
I've been in 473's cab once, shes getting an oil conversion.
I grew up on this
this is an ear worm
You are an ear worm
@@MiddletownBranchProd. no u
@@DeathValleyLumberCompany then don’t call this saming, railroad or train an earworm.
The guy who sang this made bread Commercials look it up
who been to the colorado train museum they got drgw 491 and drs 20 and more
❤
POV: your a railfan that just went to colorado
I've been to Colorado but I did not ride the Silverton :(
Why does the sliverton look like 461 from the Colorado railroad museum?
The silverton does not refer to a specific locomotive it just refers to the Durango and silverton railroad itself and they run K36 mikados 461 is a K27 not a K36
0:34 and 0:40 my favorite
This is probably the wrong place to ask this, but how did you get it to say "Music in this Video" in the description? Please Respond.
UA-cam automatically does that when it detects a song
Beware it means a copyright claim and you won't be able to monetize your video
Me: HERE COMES TEH SILVERTON UP FROM DURANGO-
also i went there when i was 2
Ask and drgw foamer whats their favourite song, its this
it is very easy to memorize the lyrics
speed it up to 0.75 and its sort of more epicer
Great video- but some of the snippets are way too short to really appreciate!
Yankee version of dave goulder's settle and Carlisle
person 1: DESPACITO IS BETTER THAN ANY SONG IN THE WORLD person 2: THATS A DEAD MEME, OLD TOWN ROAD IS BETTER. me: HERE COMES TEH SILVERTON UP FROM DURANGO HERE COME S TEH SILVERTON SHOVELIN' COAL
Happy 140th anniversary to the Sliverton
I know the history behind the railroad
You should do a music video for engine 464 on the Huckleberry Railroad
He doesn't make the music he makes ideos for them so unless you have a song for it than he can't do it
Here's a link to a song of her, ua-cam.com/video/qfiHDsIXKjQ/v-deo.html, and a link to another song you should make a music video for, ua-cam.com/video/n98-yvuu_tw/v-deo.html, and here's a link to some footage you should use, ua-cam.com/video/QNSV8WFi1yM/v-deo.html
@@sirensandrailroadsofoklahoma I know this sounds insane, but I actually rode behind engine 464 and they actually played a song about the locomotive, it's an actual song.
@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory i know that. I was saying that there wasnt a song for that locomotive
@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory i rode behind it aswell
I hear headmaster headings voice
Silverton train
0:31
kinda bopping on 1.25 speed
1881
Mini polar express
1:26 why so much steam
Blowdown. Steam pressure releases on both sides to clean and exhaust large steam amounts.
@@LMR78 thanks!
The whistle's like train horn
Do you want to explode?
Why you so mean
D&RGW fans be like:
Nope.
No what?
@@oregonrailfan7046 I have not ridden the silverton train before.
@@saxonaudio nobody cares
@@oregonrailfan7046 Jeez calm the hell down.
