- I railfanned K-37 493 on Monday August 30th, its first run with Rio Grande lettering for an upcoming railfan event that I was part of. The video also shows K-28 473 and ALCO diesel 107 and roundhouse tour and turn table footage.
It's just great the rio grande🎉
I was just visiting this place for the first time myself almost 3 weeks ago.
Sounds like LIRR 39’s whistle on 493!
Yeah!
wonderful as always!!!
Thanks!

Even with the video not up yet that photo is 🔥keep up the good work
Thanks!
Hello watching now 👍
Thank you.
A great video. 😊👍👍👍
Very interest
The rio grande and durango and silverton are doing the double header with southern pacific
The Colorado terrain along with those green and yellow WP&Y Alcos make me think I'm looking at a narrow gauge line somewhere in Brazil. I really enjoy your work!
I wonder why “rio grande” is on the side of 493’s tender
493 sure does walk a lot on the rails. It shimmies back and forth quite frequently. Surely the crews can feel that much sway in the locomotive. Is this due to it being so large? Are the outside counter balances out of alignment? Or are the D&S rails showing their age that badly?
I really think its just crap track. The coaches were going all over the place too
The track on the D&S is in pretty bad shape. Multiple trains per day for years has really taken a toll on the ROW. The RR does minimal track repairs because shutting down for maintenance would cost them too much. I think they will just keep on running until there is a derailment and they are forced to do something about the track.
493 should be nicknamed "The Holy Terror of the D&S" I was just thinking myself that it sure hunts the rail a lot. I wonder how the K37 on the C&TS will fare whenever it gets restored.
Very nice, like.
What does Drought conditions on 481 mean
Means it's dry...
Are they rebuilding that McDonald's across the street from the yard?
Hey, I live there!
Looks like some track maintenance is needed.
Seen less wobble in an unset jelly. WTF kinda maintenece they do on the tracks? That would NEVER pass inspection in that condition surley, you can see the passengers wobbling about aswell inside the coaches!!
The D&S is all about making money. It is a huge money grabbing tourist trap. They will keep running full trains over shit track until one of them derails.
track conditions have always been shit the D&S keeps it that way for authenticity probably.
Do you know why The K28 was in white pass and yukon? Ngl. 473, 476 and 478 was in durango roundhouse.
I assume you are asking why K-28's went to the White Pass and Yukon in the 40's? They were taken by the US Army along with locomotives from all over the country to build the Military highway in Alaska to protect it against an invasions. They did not need them all and that is why 473, 476, and 478 stayed in Durango.
Then what about k36 no.485? She was derailed in Salida roundhouse and scrapped. Why?
@@phatboy3718 Severe damage that would have been very expensive to repair.
😊
Why is 481 in its new paint

What happened to 481?
481 can't operate right now due to drought conditions.
@@baldwinloco12 bummer, oh well
@@baldwinloco12 Same w 486, 476, and maybe 478. Hope the fleet is 50-50.
@@nicholasmedovich6729 Half the steam fleet is oil burning now, so they can run in high fire risk conditions.
@@baldwinloco12 what about 482 then?
