    I never get tired of this song I’m enjoying and loving it at the same time because of the k480 whistle.

      I always thought of a Dodge Durango in Durango to be honest every time I think of it I laugh.

    Heard the song on the C.W. McCall Album along/w "Convoy". In 1998, my wife and I went to Durango for the express purpose of riding 'The Silverton'. We rode in the parlor car...it was worth the extra expense. This video is superb. In August of 2001, we returned to Durango and though we didn't ride the Silverton that time, we got some pics for posterity. Then we drove on to Ouray to have a look at Kuboske's U-Drive-'Em, locale for "Black Bear Road". Epic adventures in Colorado!

    Absolutely Perfect. I first heard this song in the 1970's when my parents got a CW Mcall 8track.. I allways loved the song and often thought how a video should look.. You did it! One of my new favorites

    I'm surprised! Back in 2012, I rode the train and sang this whole song, out loud, in our coach car, at the beginning of the journey. I sang it from my seat (I was too shy to go up in front of the whole car and sing it. I think everybody would be too shy do it also). I didn't have a lyric sheet with me nor a phone to look up the lyrics of the song. I did it completely from memory. Fast forward 5 years and I'm having trouble getting past the second verse of the song. HOW DID MY 8 YEAR OLD MIND MANAGE TO GET THIS WHOLE SONG MEMORIZED AND HAVE THE GUTS TO SING IT OUT LOUD WHILE 30 OTHER STRANGERS LISTEN TO ME!?!?!?

    • @mccoachrailwayproductions8958
      @mccoachrailwayproductions8958 4 роки тому

      Ah bother, it would've made a hell of a ride to such a thing happening: Sitting in the coach, hearing someone hum or silently sing the song to themself, then just sing along and rise your voice in order for him/her to notice that it is okay to sing along. Heck, would probably motivate others on board to join in as well, and before you know it, the whole carriage would sing through the ride!

    Love it! I drove from Durango to Silverton years ago. Couldn't get my wife to ride the train. Must of been that line in the song "You're gonna get a shiver when you check out the river..." We stopped at an overpass and waited for the train to pass while I played the song on a boombox. My wife thought I was nuts, but I loved it. I want to go back there and your video takes me back.

    This video reminded me of a cable TV channel (Travel Channel I believe) show about the Durango & Silverton Railroad and the Silverton Train. It was narrated by C.W. McCall and features the "Silverton Train" song at the end. The near half-hour video depicted a ride on the train. Someone videotaped it and gave me a copy. Showed it a few times and I love it. It is on my bucket list to visit Durango and ride the train. We'll see. Stay safe and healthy.

    What great memories this brought back for me. I was on the phone talking to a client and found out while she grew up skiing in Durango she had never heard C.W. McCall's song Silverton Train! What?? I sent her the link! When I was a kid, somewhere between 10 & 12, my sister and cousins rode this along with our parents. We sang the Silverton Train song almost the whole time we were on the train! Great memories. Thanks for making such a great video. You obviously have a passion for trains!

    I’ve got a real honest confession to tell you guys I’m actually wrote those trains as a kid I had a blast at my childhood it was fun I was like 12 years old whenever I rode my first train I was on vacation it was just my grandparents and my little brother and my cousin over there in Durango Colorado I went during 2001 to Durango Colorado man that brings back some old memories maybe one day I’ll go down there and ride it again but this time I am already in adult and I may just go just for the scenery probably the reminisce on old memories

    If you could find a 35 to 50 ton loco in decent shape, you MIGHT be able to swap for the 464. The 464 would have to be converted back to superheat to be able to handle the trains on D&SNG. The 75 ton Porter 6-axle diesel built for US Gypsum operation at Plaster City, CA would be a good backup or work loco for D&SNG or C&TS. But it has a broken piston rod and a cooling water leak.

    "Silverton Train" indeed!
    I love this song. The backup singers (the ladies you hear singing the chorus) are a tad unintelligible, but I like it nonetheless.
    Also, C.W. McCall has another song, "Gallopin' Goose", that would go excellent with videos of the Rio Grande's "rail-buses" and "rail-trucks" which are known as the "Galloping Geese of the Rio Grande"!

    • @TheOneTrueDragonKing
      @TheOneTrueDragonKing 9 років тому +2

      +Kerry Freeman Several of the Galloping Geese still exist and are used all over the country. I think there are a couple of them out at Knott's Berry Farm in California.
      Finally, at approximately 2:16 old tech meets new, as the steam train passes a modern piece of Maintenance of Way equipment, in the form of a Speeder, which is a small self-propelled railcar for up to two people, and is powered by either an electric or diesel motor.
      P.S.: Early in my life one of my favorite songs was "Down by the Station" and I see that song had a clear impact on the early part of the 3rd verse of this song.

    First I‘d like to say this is the best CW MaCall video I’ve seen so far. I would like to talk to you about using your video as a- song - or video for the deaf. I would need to add text for them to read. I think they may prefer signing but, I think it might take away from the beauty of the video. I will ask my deaf friend what he thinks.

  • @deniseweed2263
    @deniseweed2263 12 років тому

    I have a few Ideas to add to yours as well for the story song. I think the only change I would make to yours is coal being shoveled and some close ups of the engineers and crew doing their jobs. Maybe some inside shots.
    I would like to do all of CW McCall’s in video for the deaf, because they are so descriptive and fun.
