473 was painted into bumble bee temporarily for some photo charter trains. I didn't get to see it painted like that, but I saw some of the special decorative parts that were on it sitting in the yard.
I've been there too, but I'd like to go back there. Unfortunately when I was there, they were still repairing the lobotto trestle after a fire. That is a really neat operation too.
Lovely stuff!! Reminds me of my Saturday morning trips to the cinema when I was a lad, An overweight cowboy hero called Ken Maynard would regularly save the bullion on the train from the 'Red Indians' and the crooked cowboy villains who usually plotted in the saloon! Looking forward to seeing the other stuff. Rob.
I remember an article from an old copy of Railfan & Railroad mag, It was about the day one of the D&RG or D& RGW had a mishap when one of their " Mudhens " K36 mikados lost brake pressure, while the hostler wasn't in the cab and rolled down the track...into an 18 wheeler carrying potatos, the spuds went everywhere. lol.
You need to check out the Cumbres and Toltek at Chama, NM. I just got back from there and have never seen anything was stunning as the views on that trip.
I don't know how you read it, but there's a lot of incorrect info here. The term "Mudhens" refers to the D&RG/D&RGW K-27 mikados, the smallest mikes on the Grande. The 18 wheeler incident happened after D&SNG was formed if I remember right. The truck lost its brakes and ended up in the Durango railyard plowing into the side of K-28 #473, knocking her off the rails. The impact was in a very lucky place. Had the impact been much higher, there would've been a catastrophic explosion.
Not only the fact thant an insane explosion was avoided but had the 473 not been right there on the track, the truck would have plowed right into a crowd of peoplel waiting to get on the train. All in all it was very lucky no one was killed!
((Boink:: hits self on head)) I guess I did mess it up, but it sure looked funny with all those spuds EVERYWHERE.lol bet it was a pain in the ass to clean it up, and if any got squished, it would be a slippery clean up too, heheheh.
Eureka usually runs every year for Railfest in mid to late August. It's running again this year. I have to post a video I got of that one soon.
0:33 this whistle is the best from your opinion but joined with sp 2472
Those K-28's are really neat! They give off some awesome stack talk. Thanks!
That D&RGW 5 Chime on 482 sounds awesome!

Thank you Rob! If you haven't been to this train before, I highly recommend a visit! It is really an amazing place, a step back in time.
Thank you!

486 is great! It's one of my favorites. Thanks Jordan!
Durango is a really neat place. If you get the chance to visit, I highly recommend it!
Thank you sir! You should really go there. I think you would enjoy it.
Thanks Dean! You guys really need to go there!

I really hope I get to see some of those trains soon. Awesome catches.
I know where 480 and 481 are in the video they’re in the roundhouse
473's whistle is so lovely to hear😌

Awesome! Are you riding any of the special trains?
Go there!
Breaking News: The D&SNGRR is about to restore K-37 #493 back to operational, but what's the current status of #493 right now?
Brian Falzon being converted to burn oil.

That D&RGW 5 Chime on 482 sounds epic, should get a whistle like that for Strasburg Railroad 7312 and Conway Scenic Railroad 7470.
Love it!!!
Awsome,Mike!

Not bad at all mike! I hope someday cam and I will railfan this RR someday!
I am going to be down there for railfest next month!
My opinion is that it is a little shaky. But I like the 482 shot the best
