  • It's time to return to the Centennial State for a look at trains all around Colorado! This video features a compilation of trains I have filmed in Colorado over the years. Some of these clips have been featured on the channel before, but many of them have never been posted. We'll travel all over the state to see modern day Amtrak, BNSF, and Union Pacific trains running around as well as a number of the well known steam and diesel tourist trains. From Rocky Mountains to grassy plaines, everything is included in this hour long look at trains in Colorado!
    CoasterFan2105 is the home of all sorts of train and railroad related video content. Stop by every Friday at 9 AM Pacific time for an all new railroading adventure and be sure to check out all of my social media pages @coasterfan2105 for even more great railroad content. Thanks, and I'll see you down the line!

    Living in Colorado all my life has really been an inspiration. You'd think that you have seen all, but there is always something you missed the time before and so a repeat trip to areas with trains keeps me coming back for more. Never get tired of trains or Colorado beauty, no matter how many times I see it. Spectacular!! Thank you Mike for a wonderful video.

      That would be the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. The post D&RGW line runs from the recreational hub of Durango up to the historic mining town of Silverton. The line was built in 1881-1882. It is an amazing journey to say the least.

      D&RGW No.315 is a C-18 Class Consolidation built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1895. Its appearance has changed over the years as it once had the gas-lit headlight and the big diamond smoke stack for the ultimate Wild West look.

    • @itsyaboi3349
      @itsyaboi3349 3 роки тому

      @@Trump-a-Tron I’m not sure if the date, but it was because a new spark arresting feature was developed. The big diamond stacks served as spark arrestors before a device that goes inside the smoke box was developed; it forces the escaping air to form a little cyclone, which allows more time for the cinders to cool and/or fall down. Then there is also the bear trap on top of the stack which also helps catch more of the embers.
      Edit: After some research, I believe this locomotive always had the newer spark arresting system. I think this locomotive was built too late to be fitted with a classic diamond stack. But there are other locomotives, much like this, still around that had it.
