Royal Gorge Route Railroad - Driver’s Eye View
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лис 2017
- The ‘Royal Gorge Route’ train carries tourists through one of Colorado’s most amazing natural features, the Grand Canyon of the Arkansas River, known as the ‘Royal Gorge’. In places the canyon is only thirty feet wide, requiring the railway to be suspended above the river on an engineering masterpiece known as the ‘hanging bridge’. For decades passenger trains stopped on the bridge to allow passengers time to alight and wonder at the raging river below and the canyon walls rising 2600 feet above. During the heyday of the line in the 1890’s, four transcontinental passenger trains a day passed through the Royal Gorge. Competition from air and coach transport eventually reduced the service to one train daily between Denver and Salida, even this train was discontinued in 1967. The Rio Grande continued freight services through the gorge until 1989, after which various mergers and acquisitions led to closure of the Tennessee Pass line, including the gorge segment in 1997. Today’s ‘Royal Gorge Route Railroad’ began running trains over a 12 miles (19 km) section in 1998 going on to become a major tourist destination attracting over 100 000 visitors a year. The railway offers a variety of packages from a simple train ride to a delicious full dining option and for something really special it is possible to book a ride in the locomotive alongside the engineer. For further information about the history of this line please click on either of these links - royalgorgeroute.com/about-us/... - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_G... To book a trip or cab ride please click on this link - royalgorgeroute.com/
I would like to thank the friendly staff for making my visit a real pleasure and a special thank you to the locomotive crew for mounting my camera on the locomotive to make this video possible.
Several people asked if the Royal Gorge Railroad was still connected to the national network, so I Googled it and discovered this very interesting article, please click on the link to read it - issuu.com/coloradorailfan/doc...
This video was filmed on 15th September 2017
At the request of some American viewers I should point out that 'Train Driver' is not the general term used to describe the person at the controls of the locomotive, whereas 'Engineer' is the accepted title in the USA, I sincerely hope my American viewers will forgive me for this oversight.
Interesting reading copied from comments made by Chris Ball -
The suspension bridge above is the famous Royal Gorge Bridge. It was built in the late 1920s at an estimated cost of $350,000. Most of its wooden planks burned in a large wildfire in 2013, but they've been replaced since. The smaller bridge you go over mid-trip is the lesser known Hanging Bridge. It was designed by C. Shallor Smith in the late 1870s, and cost approximately $11,870 to construct. It was originally 90% over water and 10% over land, but with modern day reinforcements to accommodate larger trains, the ratio is now about 50-50.
The wooden pipeline on the opposite side of the river was built using prison labour, it was constructed using California redwood, back in 1908, completed in 1910, it served as Cañon City's
main source of water until 1973. The pipeline stretches for 8 miles, and you can still see sections of pipeline that remain intact, over 110 years later. It's rather amazing!

My dad has Alzheimer's and its hard to get him to watch anything but he loves these train journeys. Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to upload them
Hi, I'm sorry to hear your Dad suffers from Alzheimer's, although it is nice to know he enjoys these videos, the generally positive feedback makes sharing them a rewarding experience.

Likewise…my husband!
One of our sons took this “trip” on the Polar Express, so when we saw this available on UA-cam…YAY! We would have loved to take it in person,but it would never happen. And here we are…a birds eye view, no less! Thank you.
Thanks for telling us! That’s really good to know!
Excellent video, no babbling, no music…..,Thanks for presentation, from Germany
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride 😊.
quarantine really got me picking up some new interests huh
Hi, how are you coping? I miss going out and travelling, but if that's what it takes, its a small price to get back normal life as quickly as possible. i hope you are keeping well. Tim.
Timsvideochannel1 touched by your reply! Living day by day, ya know? We gotta do what we can to protect the people :)
@@cassieeckelman9843 Lock-down won't last forever, I'm sure we will all appreciate life a little more when things return to normal. Stay safe. Tim.
man lol
Gold to everyone...in tomorrow blog....
I've rafted the Gorge many times and waved at the trains passing by, when I wasn't paddling madly. Seeing the river and the beautiful rocks again from this viewpoint is a rare treat. Thank you so very much.
That sounds so tranquil 🙂🙂
Love this train
This is amazing. I ran into this at random, and am kicking myself that I never picked up on the virtual train / drive / hike, etc, niche before. I can see me watching a lot of these from now on! Just beautiful.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Other people have posted amazing "Driver's Eye" videos showing railways in countries such as Peru, Norway and Switzerland. The train driver has the best view and these videos allow us all to enjoy a similar experience.

Great video, Tim! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the trip, Tim. One of the best I have had so far.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Wow! Amazing scenic beauty in that gorge! Thanks for posting!
Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I rafted the Arkansas River years ago. Still one of my favorite memories. Thanks for this beautiful footage. 💟✌🙏
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I would love to raft the Arkansas River.
thats gotta be awesome!!
Hi pretty how are you doing today? Your look charming
I love traveling by train. We live in a beautiful country a the best way to see it is by train. Thank you for sharing this ride.
Traveling by rail is relaxing, I love to see the world through a train window.
You should try the Trans Mongolian railway.
From Moscow to Beijing.
I put this video on our tv so our 4-year-old can set up his toy animals and play conductor. He loves it and it gives mom and dad time to just sit and rest while playing passengers, lol
That's a novel way to get some time out, 4 year old children can be pretty demanding.
I went on this train with my children in 1982. We all loved it.
So rugged yet beautiful at the same time. Thank you for posting.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.
I also wanted to add, I have a 'connection' to these awesome train videos, for my grandfather was a track engineer for the Wabash Railroad, from Moberly, MO. He was self-taught in all the intense mathematics one would need to know for designing and laying out track - Did that for over 25 years, then worked 20+ years as a design engineer for the Army Corps of Engineers, designing locks and dams from Clinton, IA to St. Louis along the Mississippi. After that, he was VP of engineering for Weitz Construction (recently built the new airport in Denver) then was the VP of Delevan Manufacturing and invented the jet fuel spray nozzle that is virtually used in every jet engine in flight today! An amazing man. I'm but a *blip of what he was. Anyway, I am amazed and thoroughly entertained by your videos. thank you.
Hi Mike, your Grandfather's life story is really amazing, Denver Airport is a wonderful gateway to the United States, previously I'd only visited LA airport several times on my way from the UK to New Zealand, it was such an unpleasant experience it put off visiting the USA. Colorado is an amazing place, it showed the USA in a really good light, now I'm looking for a reason to return. I make my living as an engineer designing and making mold tools, so I really appreciate your grandfather's achievements. I'm pleased you enjoyed the videos and thanks for taking time to comment. Tim.
There's lots to see over here. Most of it is good. :)
Your grandpa sounds so cool. Thanks for sharing his accomplishments and your appreciation!🍎
This is GREAT! I once belonged to the group that kept up the tracks between Waterville and Grand Rapids Ohio for the museum. I moved far away though. I miss it. Thanks for letting me tag along with you on this trip
Hi Janice, it was nice to have your virtual company, I hope it bought back good memories from your time at the the Toledo Lake Erie & Western Railway - tlew.org/
Thanks for posting this. A few years ago my daughter and I rode in the cab on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad. It was a great experience.
Hi Ted, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I would love to have ridden in the cab, on the day I traveled cab rides were fully booked. The staff were really nice people and one of then very kindly attached my camera to the locomotive, allowing me to shoot this video.
Fantastic video quality and beautiful scenery, thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you Carl, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
One of the greatest cab ride videos ever, absolute must see. Excellent job man and thanks for sharing!
Hi, I really appreciate your comment. Thanks you.
I went on the very first train out when they brought it back many years ago and loved it , and went back three years ago on the dinner late run and it was amazing . Thanks for the great time Royal Gorge Railroad .
Hi Jerry, I'm sure the guys at the Royal Gorge Railroad will appreciate your comment, my dinner was very tasty, a perfect compliment to a really memorable train ride. Cheers. Tim.
My mom's family is all from Canon City. I spent many summers kicking around that old town irrigating and haying. I remember the good old days watching Rio Grande coal drags coming through. Been to Royal Gorge several times - I remember riding the old Buckskin Joe railroad to the edge of the gorge and watching DRGW freights at the bottom. But, many things have changed over the years. At least there are still trains running the route and horns echoing off the canyons.... Thanks for this video. Brings back a lot of great memories.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, those sound like some great memories. I have seen videos of the miniature railroad that used to run to the edge of the gorge, shame its gone. I will have to return one day, because there is a lot more to gorge than the railroad, I'd like to take a look at some of the other attractions.
Thank you, Tim. This is awesome. It's also a lot closer to me than your New Zealand videos.
Yes, it is a nice video.
My 91 yr old mom and I love this. Thanks !
Thank you, I'm pleased the two of you enjoyed the ride.
Are you an actual spirit level?
amazing geology on display. the bluest sky with the wispy white clouds contrasting. love how the engineer taps his horn to the rafters. thanks for uploading!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the view from the train.
Absolute best video quality of any train ride on UA-cam, thank you for your posting.
Sorry, but no. HinduCowGirl has solid 60 fps video, complimented with beautiful views of Norway. This video needs a lot more frames. :)
Yeah, judging from the aliasing in the phone wires to the right, it looks it's upscaled from 720p too. Also, the sample rate is too low for preserving all details in the grass and water. But hey, I'd say it's still in the top 5 on UA-cam.
Hi,Tim.I think ,you are great railway traveller of britain.Many thanks from me and my family.Good job.
Hi Maris, I am lucky to have seen so many railways around the world and it is always a pleasure to share my experiences. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Amazing scenery, the railroad, the images. Congratulations!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.
And yet some could find it boring and uneventful! Huh!
I’m a long distance trucker. It’s nice to see the scenery with someone else “driving”. Thank you!
You must get a good view from the cab of your truck, but taking your eyes off the road can have terrible consequences, whereas a train driver can watch the beautiful scenery without the risk of leaving the road, so long as he keeps an eye his speed and the signals. I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride.
I hear this train every day. I love how its horn echoes off the canyon walls. Drenching our whole town in the sound.
I love your description of how the horn sounds, that's a noise I'd happily live with.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! It's so great to escape from city life and still be in bed whilst enjoying a beautiful journey.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed this trip into the wilds of Colorado.
Fantastic video! Thanks for the upload. Been planning to take that trip someday, as I live in Denver. Great, great video!
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. Colorado's amazing, Denver looked a nice city too. If you make it to the Royal Gorge Railway, I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience.
I took a ride from K C to Needles, Cal. in 1966. I can say I am glad it was night time when we were in the mountains :) It was one fast train for sure. Love this video.
You must have some great memories from that trip and I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Hi pretty how are you
In 1988 I walked across the bridge over the "Royal Gorge"...was there with family; a little scary, but also very spectacular...I'm glad to have experienced this train ride along the Arkansas River!!...thank you.
Hi, I didn't get to walk across the bridge, something I would love to have done. I'm please the video bought back pleasant memories from your own visit back in 1988.
Absolutely Gorgeous, I got chills when I saw the bridge, the last time I was there was in 1985, I hope to go again soon. I think I would have stopped the train to get out and touch the landscape. So Amazing. Great Video.
Hi Jessica, walking across that bridge must be amazing, I would love to do it. This was my first visit to Colorado, I would love to return and spend more time at some of the places I visited. I watched one of your videos - "You Raise Me Up (trumpet cover)", it was excellent and I loved the quotations.
Timsvideochannel1 Thank you so much :) I remember leaning over the side to take pictures and my parents freaking out. We drove the car across it, it was amazing. I love Colorado, it's where I want to live...eventually. I love trains too, you're videos are amazing.
What will happen if there's a breakdown?
I was there many years ago also. When I visited in the 90's it had changed a lot. More commercial now.

I love everything about a trip on a train, or a video of it. The sounds just draw me right into it. That vibration rattle is killing me!
The vibration is a bit annoying, but its doesn't affect the second half of of the video as the train returns back through gorge.

Cheers, I'm pleased you and your Grandson enjoyed the ride, it is pretty spectacular.
Spectacular scenery and railroad. Thank you for making and posting this video.
Thank you, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.
Oh my God!! This video reminded me of the ride we took on the train in the summer of 1982. We had two children then, our son was 4 years old and our daughter was on 2 years.
We enjoyed the trip then, and today you have rekindled our emotions again. The scenery was absolutely stunning. I vividly remember at the narrowest passage (the train stopped to allow picture taking), it was very scary. You almost feel the side of the mountain and rocks are going to fall on you.
Thank you for bringing memories back!!
Hi, its nice to know to know this video rekindled good memories from your own trip through the gorge. It is an amazing place.
Thank you so much for sharing this video
Thank you Tim for your beautiful job this video is simply wonderful I love it 🌻
Thank you, I am really pleased you enjoyed it.
Just an amazing video!!! Even more amazing is the amount of structural and mechanical engineering and back-breaking labor that went in to making this rail line possible!!!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride. Our forefathers accomplished some amazing feats of engineering and they did it without all the modern machinery we have today.
Outstanding video!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.

wow, what a ride, little scary still very enjoyable, thanks for posting....
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I've been at the top of the Royal Gorge on the bridge but I've always wanted to ride the train. Thank you for sharing this I really love it! 💜
Hi, I wish I'd had enough time to visit the bridge, I bet the view is amazing. I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride 😊
what a view...It is snowy and cold outside right now..I sure needed this..
I turn the sound down and play legends of country radio. Amazing how it always seems to stay with the rhythm of the tracks. This is a good ride. Thanks!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride and it makes good sense to choose your own soundtrack.

nice cup of coffee, took a few days off from work, watching your videos! Great work, very relaxing...
Hi, it's nice to know you are enjoying these videos, I'm going to make myself a nice cup of coffee now.
To whomever made this, a huge Thank You.
Thank you, I really appreciate your comment, most of the credit must go to the Royal Gorge Railroad Engineer who kindly attached my camera to the locomotive.
I finally got to ride the train last week. I had so much fun. Can't wait to go back🥰😁
I'm pleased you enjoyed your ride, it is an awesome expireience.
just watched it listening to 10000Hz Legend by Air it was a beautiful experience thx for that video
Thanks a million for the best ride I've had in years! Stay safe, everybody.
Cheers, I'm pleased you enjoyed it and I'd like to echo your "Stay Safe" sentiment, these are difficult times. Take care. Tim.
thanks stay strong and safe take care😊❤
Nepoții mei au autism și adoră astfel de filmulețe. Mulțumim pentru efort. God bless your work and thank you
Bună, îmi pare rău să aud că nepoții dumneavoastră au autism. Este bine de știut că se bucură de videoclipuri ca acesta. Cele mai bune urări pentru 2022. Tim.
Quite nice to have had so panoramic a view of the railway route ! Thanks a lot !
Thank you, I am pleased you enjoyed it.
Tim, another of your very interesting views from your travels. I found this locomotive based camera view led to more reflection on the investment in hours and planning to make a railway/railroad through such a torturous & inhospitable place. Let alone the separate building of a wooden pipeline - wow. 'Make do & mend' taken to extremes. Fascinating. Thanks for sharing another stunner. Peter
Hi, the driver gets the best view here, the history of the line is interesting, I included some links in the video description to give a bit of background information. I found the hanging bridge fascinating, a bridge that partly hangs from an overhead structure, who'd have thought of that? The challenges of those pioneering days fascinate me as an engineer (mechanical). I'm pleased you enjoyed this fascinating journey.
when i was little we went to cross the royal gorge. it was so scary!! many thanks to show this train ride!
Thank you, I never made it up to the bridge, I wish I had, the view must be awesome, I can imagine walking across it must be really scary.
I walked across the bridge back in the 70’s as a kid. Remember being scared and in awe how the bridge could stand there and not fall. Just retired so hoping to make it back there sometime next few years.
Thanks 👍👍👍😊👍😊 Tim for A BEAUTIFUL video God bless you and your family Warren and Ingrid Melbourne Australia
Hello Warren, I'm glad you enjoyed riding through the spectacular gorge and I'm looking forward to sharing videos from my recent Australian/New Zealand tour in the coming months. Always nice to hear from Australia, best wishes to you and Ingrid from a wet and windy UK 😊.
Lovely start with a good healthy dose of train whistle.This is a heavy gauge train making all the beautiful noise one would expect from such a magnificent machine. Thanks Tim for your video. Sending blessings from Scotland as I now sit back to enjoy the ride as you've intended.
Hi, I hope you are keeping safe and well in beautiful Scotland. I love the sounds unique to American trains, the haunting sound of the locomotive horn echoing of the Canyon walls, along with the slow revving engine are a delight. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the ride. Cheers. Tim.
Thanks for the ride
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
this is one awesome vid thank you most enjoyable
Yes indeed thank you to the train crew that attached the camera and you as well for posting this video I've been there many times but never seen it from this perspective and I also have trains in my genealogy and blood this was most enjoyable
Hi, I'd love to take the crew for a beer to say thank you. Now travel restrictions between the UK and the USA have eased, I'm looking to book another rail tour around the wonderful railways of Colorado. Cheers. Tim.
My breakfast (and lunch), complete! I enjoy (relax) to (travel) watching this video 😍😊
Great video- I love trains and ride em all the time that I can. Sounds like an F series leader and I have ridden behind them often. I grew up beside the tracks of the Old Pensy in York Pa. and watched all the troop trains pass daily. Thanks for making my day.
Thank you David, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I shot a second video showing this ride from an open passenger car from which the consist of the train can be seen, please click on this link to watch it - ua-cam.com/video/dIB6dPdMlGg/v-deo.html I have lived within hearing distance of a railway line much of my life, but most of the trains are simple units ferrying people to and from work or school.
vous êtes formidable, je suis très contente d'avoir découvert votre yt, tout est merveilleux pour voyager et réviser sa géographie.
Bonjour et merci pour votre aimable commentaire. Je suis heureux de vous accueillir sur ma chaîne et j’espère que vous apprécierez davantage mes aventures de voyage. Meilleurs voeux. Tim.
Went there in the mid 60's and still recall how impressive it was. In three months a friend and I are going to spend a couple of weeks touring CO with our motorcycles. This wasn't on my list to see again, but now is.
Touring CO on motorcycles will be awesome, it's an amazing state with so much to see.
Very beautiful. Thanks for taking a virtual tour
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for a great video! I keep looking at the river for a place I might want to go trout fishing.
I'm sick and unable to sleep at 3am. This is very beautiful and relaxing. Thank you so much!
Hi, it is always nice to know my videos send people to sleep, it's what my wife keeps telling me. Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the ride and I hope you feel a little better now 😊
Get well soon! 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video here. I have never seen such a beautiful railway alongside the channel.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, it's an amazing railway.
Thank you, thank you for this wonderful video.

Thank you I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
It feels so good to see some people rafting from the train.
The rafting looked like fun, I'd love to have ago.
Great video, nice to see all that geology and understand the effort that went into the laying these tracks.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed watching it.

I did the royal gorge view from on top near the bridge looking down. It was probably 30+ years ago. I did take a photo of a freight train down below on these same tracks. Great video!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I would love to have seen this railroad when it was still part of the national network, watching long freight trains snaking through the gorge must have been awesome.
hey this is great, getting to see the route coming and going; from cab driver view to caboose conductor view. Awesome.
Hi Carol, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride, it was an awesome experience, I'd love to white water raft down the river if I get a chance.
Aww that is dope! I went there last year during the summer and it was amazing to see the gorge. The bridge scared the hell out of me
I'd love to walk across that bridge, maybe one day.
@@Timsvideochannel1- When I was there in 1964 we drove our car across the RG bridge.
As of May 1 only closed vehicles are permitted to visit the park and cross the bridge. No walking, no stopping.
@@algrayson8965 The current restrictions are understandable, hopefully we will get back to something close to normal soon, I'm beginning to really miss travelling.
OK! So we can see where have been! Cool!
I was there in 1970, can remember walking across the bridge, if people walked in cadence the bridge would ripple with you on it. If I remember there was a finicular to ride down to close to track level . When we were down at track level a 100 car freight went thru, quite exciting. Thanks for the memories. Richard
Hi Richard, wonderful memories to have, I'd love to have seen a 100 car freight running through the gorge. I didn't have time to visit the bridge or any of the other attractions, maybe another day.
Just gorgeous - thank you so much for sharing this video.
Thank you, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.
What a treat; the engineer view was spectacular! Love trains. Thanks Tim!
Hi Charles, the engineer gets the best view and I am really grateful to him for sharing it with us.
Who in the USA ever calls a train engineer a driver? LOL
I'm watching this video on VR on my virtual headgear it's just amazing. It's the train ride I always wanted to do but never had the time. That's not true, I had the time I just didn't do it. But now I feel as tho I am. Thanks for posting this scenic trip thru the Rockies.
Hi, I've never tried watching through a VR headset, I need a give it a go. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride, it was an awesome experience.
In 3D it's even better and I speeded up the video because, to me, the train was too slow. The scenery was beautiful though. Now looking for a bullet train video from china.
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 You've convinced me. I've made videos of the Chineses High-speed trains, but no cab rides.
Yes Tim, I would love to see the high speed can rides. Not just in China but New York, Tokyo or any big city.
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 There is a good selection of high-speed rides available on UA-cam from France, Spain and Germany. If you don't mind traveling a little slower I think you'll like this channel - ua-cam.com/channels/j-Xm8j6WBgKY8OG7s9r2vQ.html
Gidday Tim that must've been the trip of a lifetime mate. Interesting how it looks a lot like the trip to Arthur's Pass with barren mountains and the mountain rivers etc.
Drove across that bridge twice on a visit in 1987, great fun to see it from this angle! I remember rafters way down below.
The railroad trip was awesome, I looked up at bridge and wished I had more time, because I would love to have walked across it.
You can only walk across now.
Reading through the comments, I love how much you know about the area!
Hi, the truth is I knew very little about the area, without Google I'd never have been able to answer many of the questions, but now I know just a little more, I would love to return at some time.

Great video I mean the most beautiful route and good job on the color correction. R.I.P to Stobe, Who got all of these type vids started.
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed it, when you mention Stobe, is it this guy you were referring to - ua-cam.com/video/vb_3OUHTpZY/v-deo.html Whilst the things he gets up to is a bit dangerous, its great to watch.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Yes that is correct Sir.
Excellent video. My wife and I took this rail excursion the morning of July 10, 2018. Certainly worth the money spent.
Hi John, it's nice to know you and your wife enjoyed the ride and hopefully the video brings back pleasant memories of your time at the Royal Gorge.
Absolutely Beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
I was born and raised 40 miles east of Canon City in Pueblo. If you've never been to The Royal Gorge, it's a bucket list adventure.
I'd certainly recommend it. Colorado has a wealth of great attractions and this is right up there with the best of them.
Been there, done that. Recommend it to anyone visiting there.

Was there in 1994. Loved it. Crossing that bridge and the gondola ride was fun. Went to the bottom of the gorge on the incline railway cog. The opening between the slats looked huge from below. Haha.
Is it Japan, may by
This is so amazing it’s almost like the train came down from the heavens through the mountains I never thought railroads could exist inside the mountains this is awesome
It really is breath taking scenery, the view from the train is absolutely awesome.
Wow your Royal Gorge train ride is fantastic! All your train route videos are very enjoyable. Thank you so much.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise to see this on your channel. Was visiting my son and daughter in law last August and we took a day trip from the Denver area to ride this train. Absolutely wonderful experience!
Hi, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, although I don't think any video can do justice to the actual train ride, it really is an awesome experience.
Been there and seen that in 2007. I was above and looking down into the gorge!
Nice video. I was hoping it ran all the way up to Red Cliff. Oh well still pretty cool
Thank you, I would love to have ridden the line when it was still the Tennessee Pass route.
Thanks so much! Glad to get out of my little bubble to see what other railroads look like!
Hi, I live in the UK and I thought British heritage railways were among the best in the world, having now visited Colorado, I realize there are a lot of awesome tourist railways in the USA as well.
Terrific video. I know I'll be watching this one many times.
Thank you, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.
It must suck to go through this beautiful scenery but not being able to get out of the train to feel and touch the landscape.
It would have been nice to stop midpoint to take a short walk.
Fiz uma bela viagem internacional, e de trem! Um cenário magnífico, que deslumbra a cada momento. Rochedos que encantam os olhos! Valeu pela edição!
Obrigado, estou feliz que você gostou do vídeo.
Thank you for share this amazing video, good job mate.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing this magnificent video , I think this is the best view , well done ♥️marvellous place.
Our forefathers have left us with some wonderful reminders of life before air travel became common place. With all the climate change stuff going on, I wonder if long distance train travel will make a come back? I hope so, it is such a civilized way to travel.
