- This is the only Video that you will see all of Three Engines (463, 497, 487) loading Passengers, pull a twenty five car train with two Cabooses up to Cumbres Pass, with Smoke, Steam, Whistles, Bells, Echos, Cows, Cowboys, road crossings, complex trestle crossing with the two lead engines breaking off and each engine crossing alone, then one engine pulling train over so only one engine was ever on the trestle at a time. There is Snow, Sunshine, a Cattle Drive, Wheel Spin while pulling 4 % grade. Dropping two of the engines at Cumbres Pass, the train continues on to Antonito Colorado, Switching, Engines turn around, see the Snow Shed, watering the tender, shoveling coal into fire box.
Nice to see all these videos compiled together. Was a kid when I saw the individual clips, and adult now viewing the compilation.
I think I was on that train. I was about 15 years old. This was the pinnacle of the C&TS in my opinion. I miss the good ole days.
Was there a large group from England on this trip? It was in September 1995 and I was told it had a very large group from England that wanted to stay together is why they made up such a long train with 3 engines instead a shorter train with 2 engines.
@@centerprairie sad this will likely never be repeated.
A wonderful adventure here for me to love!
Hey, C&TS is working on 497, and they have 463 and a K-36... Just saying it wouldn't hurt to do this again lol
For restoration they are actually working on 492.
@@insane_rail_lover This is old, but yes! I talked to some guys at C&TS when I visited and 497 was the thought at the time.
BEST VIDEO EVER 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Wonder where that whistle took off to. Definitely prefer the one that was more prominent on 497 afterwards.
what time were these videos taken?
1995
