Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad - Chama to Antonito

Turn up your speakers and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad route from Chama, NM to Antonito, CO during the fall. This low-budget and shaky GoPro-on-a-stick footage provides a very realistic experience of one of the highest and most beautiful narrow gauge steam train trips in the world.

Earney Robart and I worked on the CATS RR in1970 it was an adventure of a life time so old so beautiful so mechanical. I could write a story of the adventure. We had a great time resurrecting that quite old train.In my years I look back at that time and it was one of the best of times. We had to lay track ,blast boulders, destroy new hi way construction, to keep our right of way, watching and feeling a 300,000 pound jumps in to the air 6 inches in to the air, firing a locomotive after sitting for years, tending the boiler the first night of steam. I truly wish I could show you the adventure it has been fifty years but it doesn't seem that long ago. Clay Bair

This was great to see. There are very few full vids of Chama to Antonito on youtube. Thank you for this one.

[@Senor0Droolcup]

WONDERFUL! Thank you very much!

[@haroldsmith8698]

THE THING IS::It is good to have some thing like this that you can go on a trip and the scenery is beholding the noise of the engine ia a symphony in it's self. Have some thing like this only in America.

Fantastic.

[@orangehogger]

Thank you!!!!

My daughter lives in Antonito. They got to see the loco and get pics, but never rode behind.

Great video, fantastic scenery. Inspired by these videos to do my own train travelling. New GoPro will help my shaky photography.

[@johnhirtle4300]

Great stuff! 😀😀😀 was wondering how you got on the roof undetected 😂😂😂 Really unique innovative footage! Mad props! 👍👍👍

[@ley4953]

Wow

[@nightlightabcd]

Hod did this track way come to be? Is this government land or a ranch or what? I noticed that there were no wildlife what so ever, large or small, or even a single bird of any kind, no hawks or buzzards or even a sparrow!
Great scenery and one heck of a ride. I really enjoyed the ride! Thanks for the video!

[@michigandon]

Well, I don't think that the "low-budget and shaky GoPro-on-a-stick footage" turned out too bad at all.
It's certainly better than anything I could ever do at least!

[@Aminul2016]

is nice

[@carlosnvegas2426]

Thanks for the nice video! Although at 2:01:06 the big rig almost ruined the day!

[@johnhargreaves6432]

Great video! How about adding some altitudes? Must be pretty elevated, judging by the work the loco is doing!

[@jayk1312]

I am guessing this was filmed in October? Do you remember the date?

[@tomzorko6589]

What version GoPro? I gotta get one. Did you have any extra protection for wind noise or is it stock GoPro? Great Video

[@HinckleyBranchRailfan]

484’s whistle sounded like 497’s. Was it out on the 484

[@robertweldon7909]

I'll say this; You get quite a unique view of the train as it makes it's way along the line. I've seen better, but I've seen worse too. Some of the not so good were supposed to be professional work too.

[@robertweldon7909]

In addition, filming from the car just in front of the "open air car" would have been better.

[@KolaetosvanLangeveld]

Where can I get the map you show at 0:08? If possible, please provide me with the link where I can get it! Thanks in advance!

I have taken this ride. This vid is too much focussed on the train and not enough on the spectacular scenery.
