My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🚋🚞🚝🚊🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃🚂 they're one of his favorite things in the whole world 🌎. He hopes that real soon or sooner than soon that 497 will be restored to operation and the line between Chama and Durango will be rebuilt and used again and the line to Torrington and the Rio Grande Southern lines and hopes the line to Santa Fe is restored and the line between Alamosa and Antonito is either converted back to narrow gauge or a third rail is added so narrow gauge trains can run on it too. He believes if all that were to happen it would increase business for the Durango and Silverton and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroads and would give the passengers a change of scenery. But he doesn't want that to be wishful thinking he wants it to be a reality!
The thing is::i guess they got the bridge fixed one of the foundations was washed out. they would take a double header to the bridge then back down all of the way. it was in the winter. it gets cold up there. i have seen all of the video's that was made of this short line nerrow gadge rail road. you should go there. you would ebjoyit
In this video, 463 heads back to Chama while 488 heads to Osier with the train. This video is from 2014, so I cannot say with for sure whether 488 went back to Chama or on to Antonito.
Great video of train 🚂👍👍👍
Absolutely Awesome!
Great video. Loved it. Thanks
I love seeing C&TS locos in D&RGW livery (of any era, really).

Awesome
Great video with some fantastic whistle action!
I think 463 is wearing the whistle 464 used to wear

that whistle is haunting
I think the word your looking for is AMAZING!
rubyriot fan 488’s yes... 463’s should be in the garbage can
MPT 765 you kidding? 463’s 2014 whistle was awesome. Probably the best tuning that whistle has ever had. I think it might be better than 1995
Yeah, it almost sounds like a C&O Hooter whistle.
Boy, that slack action at 5:32.....
Heh, caught a glimpse of Rotary OY in the yard when 488 was pulling out from Chama. I wonder when it'll run again.
488 got restored again!!?? What engine is next in line for its 1472??
487 is in for 1472 this winter and 488 will be next winter. Then there will be a nice break until the next 1472 needs to happen.
How come the helper doesn't get turned around on the wye and head on back to Chama?
ThomasFan3751 probably had to head to Antonio to pull a train the next day. They would rather drive it to Antonio sooner for convenience
what whistle is on 463?
Its a custom hooter i believe
Nah it's an authentic hooter.
That makes sense as to why the History buffs love it but railfan s dont :P
I love it. Gives 463 her own sound among the bigger engines with 5 or 6 chimes
I do too but all my other friends say its annoying and im the odd man out.
Are they going back to chama or going to antonito
In this video, 463 heads back to Chama while 488 heads to Osier with the train. This video is from 2014, so I cannot say with for sure whether 488 went back to Chama or on to Antonito.
3:09 something went wrong with the whistle
Virginian it seemed exhausted
Too much water sloshing toward the rear of the boiler on a steep grade, the steam pressure forcing the condensation up and out.
