- After years of planning, a luxury train from Denver to Moab has hit the tracks, and it will provide a boost for Colorado's economy. Read the full story at cbsloc.al/2XuR9xP
Do they have a marijuana smoking car for this price?
Poor Moab. Thats all it needs is more people being shuved into town.
Amtrak California Zephyr Denver to glenwood cheap alternative.. about $80 one way per person... get a hotel in g wood then take the train back to Denver .
Weekend for two in glenwood for half the price ... around $600
But you gotta ride on a train with some not so rich people 😂
Well its not anywhere near as bad as Greyhound, theres some real S.O.T.E. on that bus as it ends up in Los Angeles.
Well , yes , I was hoping to rub elbows with the well-heeled, etc. , etc.
Most of route except the short branch to Moab you can do on the California Zephyr, much cheaper, and even if you planned a stopover at Glenwood its still cheaper and you dont get stuck with rich snobs
Sounds like a cool trip
$1200?! It ain't public transport that's for sure.
It's $1,700 now lol.
Well I think it’s awesome ‼️But then again I am a Rail Fan and will budget and plan to build this Trip . MTH Electric Trains have cataloged this Rocky Mountaineer as an O Gaige Set many times so I hope Lionel Models this Set to commemorate the inaugural run . Always loved this train and so excited to see it run here in the US . Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊🍾 to those that got to go on the inaugural run ‼️
Is it a round trip? Or does it just dump folks off in Moab?
$1200 bucks!!! I expect to get blown for that price.
It has a quick stop by the governor's mansion so you can get that hummer you need..
@@SuperSummit123 No thanks. I’ll settle for a young, nubile, female train attendant also bringing me a fresh martini.

@@sebastian3004 Yes, sweet nubbins...
okay donky,, but ur gonna have to wait, they pull into Grand Junction,
All for the rich!
Guess I won't be seeing you there.
Imagine what it would feel like to have this kind of disposable money. $1200 for a train ride!
The Union Pacific charged more than that for the inaugural run of the 4014 Big Boy....(the worlds largest steam locomotive) after they got it running.
They cant take it over the Denver to Salt Lake division, (Amtrak route) its too long for the curves, although the old Denver and Salt Lake (Rio Grande) ran slightly smaller articulated Mallet steam locomotives over those tracks.
@@donreinke5863 thats for the big boy thou!! This is just a fancy Amtrak train, runnin a beautiful route.
Ridiculous price. Bullshit.
I just rode the lakeside train around the lake for like a dollar twenty three. So I had to bring my own booze who cares. That did not look like a 1200 dollar train seat to me. 1200 dollar train seats recline in my book.
Twelve hundred dollar...no happy finish ..hurry up and pay
Why are we having foreign companies run our railways? Does not seem like a good use of our resources
Because we are inept and governed by a senior hemorrhoidal criminal.
@@Bmwguy2011 oh? You must be referring to tRump.
@@hisomeonetrackingmuch1309 as a a matter of fact, there’s a senile criminal aka Dufus, sitting in the Whitehouse now making up excuses for his latest blunders in Afghanistan, leaving our billions of equipment behind and people to rot there. Way to go Dufus!
@@hisomeonetrackingmuch1309 No biden!
"our" railways? Notice the paint job - that is a Canadian train paying to use our tracks because we won't bother with riding the rails. $1200 is a bit much though/
I would watch the news more often if she was my news girl
Moab? You mean green river Utah.
No, there is actually a rail line that comes very close to Moab. It's been in use for a very long time, shipping potash from the mine just downriver of Moab.
I’m going!
Would be more cooler if the train would continue west after stoping at Moab and terminate at Los Angeles via Las Vegas.

$1200? Might as well travel to another country and ride their much more luxurious trains with much better scenery.
This train is a ridiculous waste and incredibly noisy - huge oversized diesel engines that idle all night long in Glenwood Springs - we don't need this here!
Boring! You get some Rockies and about 20-minutes of Moab redrock splendor. The rest is "so what" Colorado Western Slope and Utah desert. There is no train tour of the canyons, unless you go to Mexico or rent a car in Moab. Pure hype. Once the truth gets out, it won't last a year.
I take the Amtrak from Denver to Green River, UT. It's pretty much all really beautiful scenery.
Where you going in Mexico bro
COVID halt any second
I would rather haul my 30 foot Keystone Cougar, sleep in my own bed, stop, stay, eat and drink where and what I want, with my wife and dogs for a quarter of that. No crowds of rude richies, no smelly cramped seats, no Bed bugs, and no schedule. Looks like this is more of a who's who type of deal.
Yes sir!! Same here, just in our NOTABUS instead. Stay safe out there
Okay you do that.
Put the Utah flag up?
RIP OFF!
I cant believe some of the comments no one is being forced to go
But people who live in Glenwood are forced to hear this train's engines idling all night long. Noisy, wasteful, and NOT an economic benefit worth having!!!
Rocky Mountaineer double decker Ultra Domes, bigger than Amtrak's Superliners, won't run on this route because too tall for the tunnels. So settle for single level cars.
Ps, RTD won't let Rocky Mountaineer use Denver Union Station so it uses a freight facility.
Why won't they use Denver Union Station?
@@jeremywilliams5675 ask the Regional Transit District. They own it.
@@jeremywilliams5675 Passengers get bussed to the siding where RM is. Their luggage is kept on the bus and placed/picked up in their hotel rooms. I'm booked for next week. One of the factors that made me choose this for a train excursion is that the RM keeps it's windows clean, unlike Amtrak. The cost for us includes four hotel stays and transport on their bus from Moab to Salt Lake City where we catch a flight back home the next day.
Misleading. Other than a rail running south on the west side of Hwy 191 from I-70 (ultimately leading to the potash factory, and last I knew; exclusively used by the potash company); the closest rail (Amtrak) is 50 miles away in Green River near I70. Perhaps the train will be able to run as far south as the Canyonlands Field airport (along Hwy 191 and several miles north of Arches Nat Park) once agreements are made. Even if this company gets the proper rights to travel the track towards Moab along Hwy 191 you will NOT see anything of interest in Moab along this rail line without getting off the train and renting a vehicle.
Luxury only thats how it's gonna be huh
I can get you a ride in a box car for a little less 😂
i live in grand jct -- theres no train tracks south of I70 -- how does it get to moab -- also I70 has been closed for 2 weeks
The tracks turn South at Crescent Junction and follow 191 to Moab
@@Big_Diehl new one on me -- with all the boom in moab its no surprise -- although if you have 1200 dollars why would you go to moab
Actually there are (or were) --they ran down to Delta but they havent seen a passenger train in decades.
@@donreinke5863 wait a minute -- from delta to where?
@@harrietetter9321 Grand Junction..Part of the line may have been abandoned south of Grand Junction
There are tracks south of I-70, as I-70 runs on the north end of Grand Junction. Im just not sure if they re still in use
After the Southern Pacific/Union Pacific took over the Rio Grande, a lot of the trackage was abandoned..
At one time there was a narrow gauge line west of Gunnison, but its long gone.
For the money they charge they could have chosen a more exotic destination than Moab.Theres nothing there unless youre a mountain bike freak
During a pandemic surge?!? Fools
So people can’t take a train ride… but can go on a cruise or concert? Your an idiot
Theer is almost NO risk from weak covid UNLESS you have other health conditions or a weak immune system. Stop believing the fearmongering from the useless garbage media.
I suggest reading the reviews from the rocky mountaineer in Canada.. the company has a lot of issues..
I think the biggest issue is that I can’t afford it.
