Winter on The Silverton 1973

On Saturday, the 11th of February, I got to ride the Durango and Silverton Railroad's 2023 winter photo special: "50 Years Ago in the Snow"
The consist that ran on this special was the same as the fall 2022 special and consisted of K-28 #476 as well as six passenger cars all backdated to their 1970s appearance. I had an awesome time riding this train and got to meet lots of great people. I hope you all enjoy this video,
-Erik :)

Excellent video, Erik! You captured some incredible photos. The D&S has some impressive natural scenery - "Cement Wall" is my favorite.

Great catch, Erik. Love seeing the old steam locomotives in the snow, and the whistle echoing through the mountains.
Thanks for sharing. 👍🐾👍

No photos of Big Diehl stuck in a snow bank… +1! 👍👍

I was too busy sinking into the snow myself 😆

Looks like the Cass Scenic RIlroad whistle chorus style all over again just like all steam tourist railroads learned that as well from the Cass Scenic Railroad!

Is that a spark arrestor icing on locomotive #476?

What does "Tacoma" means? 🤔

[@erikthetrainfan7768]

Tacoma is the name of a stop along the railroad. There is a hydro-electric power plant there and a few houses

Oh okay
