- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Welcome to another Big Train Tour at the Colorado Railroad Museum! This month, we’re covering the largest of three “Galloping Goose” motorcars displayed at the Museum, all once owned and operated by southwest Colorado’s Rio Grande Southern railroad.
Our subject for this episode, like most of its siblings, was built to haul the U.S. Mail, freight, and occasional passengers along this remote and rugged railroad’s route. Today, “Galloping Goose” number 7 is proudly displayed at the Museum, with a unique history to share!
Join Colorado Railroad Museum Executive Director Paul Hammond as he explores the history behind the Museum's unique railroad collection!

C W Mccall made an excellent song about the geese.
This music sounds familiar, I like it 😉
I think the artist likes to occasionally throw limes. ;)

There is so much more history to these than I realized. Thank you for all the amazing information, and I look forward to riding it this year!
Thank you hyce for the music
Thank you for doing a BTT on my favorite goose
Relatable XD
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
I love this series! Great job can’t wait for more
Hey, it's the one that backed into a snowdrift at Lizardhead and stranded everyone for a week.
Well that was part of the problem... there were other issues.
Ahh The D&RG and sheep lol 😆
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Be nice to have something similar on our railway in Tywyn
I'm glad it's been preserved, but, I'd much rather see this goose in Ridgway where it was built. Maybe the museums could join forces and build some more track in Ridgway? The original Ridgway yards were for sale a number of years ago. Come on billionaires, cough up some $ to rebuild part of the RGS for the public good. You have more than enough. Put away the profit motive this once.
I recognize some of that music in the background. Isn't that part of the former soundtrack from Railroads Online as performed by your own Mark "Hyce" Huber and his friend Tom Coletti?
Came for Hyce's music, stayed for the history.
Awesome job! Love these programs! I know the motors well (having gotten the nickname "Goose" in Durango when I was doing independent studies in history on the RGS and especially the geese.) Working with the folks back early getting her stabilized before her big restoration and operating her before I moved away to take a new job was fun as well. I think my favorite job was standing in the back as the goose ran laps telling people the history of the motors. People wanted to hear the history and would usually wait until I was done to disembark even though the ride was over already. 🙂 Thank you for all you do keeping these girls up. Long live the RGS!
