- Hey, it's May 4th? I could make some "May the Fourth be with you" pun for Star Wars day or something... but arent I more of a Star Trek nerd? (shots fired).
Anyways, speaking of shots fired, I'm probably gonna hear it that just because USA Today keeps ranking the Durango and Silverton as America's Most Scenic Railroad... That it's somehow not... But with views like this, you be the judge.
On the eve and after the conclusion of the 100th anniversary of the K-28 class of Locomotives used on this famed railroad, we catch the 473 rolling up the railroad pulling the famed Silverton Train (cue the C.W. McCall). We catch the 473 helping out bigger sister K-37 # 493 with the extended-length train in the Cañon of the Rio de Las Animas out of Durango and under the slopes of Purgatory Ski Area as it winds its way. We venture through the Rockwood Cut and onto the High Line, areas made famous by this train in the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Into Silverton we go and watch as it crosses the old wooden bridge before it's ripped out shortly after this video is produced.
Fantastic video. two steam locomotives in front of the train. Thanks for showing and best regards from Germany💗💗💗💗💗
I've been riding this train since I was 3!! 473 is my favorite Loco
The D&SNG in Fall is something else! It’s beautiful year round, but in Fall it’s probably best with all the colors and such. Great catches! Also I’m gonna be riding the Silverton Train in a few weeks!
It is. We've been lucky on the Durango to have late fall colors the fall specials in October the last couple of years.
Fuhr am 31.3.24 leider nur bis Redwood ,aber trotzdem sehr schön!😊👍Gruß aus Norddeutschland ✌
Man your the real Diehl.
Another great video! Thanks
Thanks for watching! I was worried no one liked this one!
@@Big_Diehl your videos feel genuine and not scripted.
