As I always say, it doesn't matter if they're coal or oil, only that they put on a good show, and the Durango and Silverton always does. Fantastic video my friend, it's always a treat watching your videos.
RIP to the smell of Coal & Sulfur on the D&S, I couldn't think of a better photographer to video the last coal powered train out of Durango. A wonderful tribute to the end of Coal firing.
Sure glad I got to visit this place in 2021. While I wish I got to see and ride behind one of their engines when they were still coal fired I was able to bring home two lumps of coal from 476’s tender home with me as a reminder of a now bygone era. But I did get to ride behind 484 that next summer which is still coal fired alongside seeing 463 in service too and so far are the only operational coal fired steam engines I’ve seen in person but I hope to see many more in the future.
I got a cinder in my eye as a kid from an engine in WV and can attest that it's not pleasant. Oil is easier and cleaner and most folks wouldn't know the difference. Still, coal is a bit more fun and it would have been nice to keep one in service. At least they still run at all, so I'm glad they are still around in any form.
Awesome stuff, Joe! It was hard to find something not to love about this. Steam, snow, mountains... the perfect combination of sound and visuals. Nice work!
@@AJKPenguin always great to see your comments - glad you have been along for the ride with me for the past several years. I am glad you are enjoying my videos! :-)
Incredible as always! One of my favorite D&S videos I've seen. Really wished I could've been there when 481 was actually running, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Can't wait for the next video!
Your videos are cinematography, very well done. My first video of yours was your video of Valley Railroad 97 from years ago, awesome to see how far you’ve come
Hi, the video was shot at normal speed - no slow motion or sped up footage. I think it might be a setting on your end - you should be able to change the playback speed back to normal. Click the little icon that looks like a gear.
This should be cemented as art. This cinematography is amazing.

I don't think anyone else captured this event better than you. Fantastic work on an end of an era!
Awesome video Joe! This is pure cinema glad to see you post after awhile!

We rode behind 476 in 1965. That was a great day for eleven-year-old me.
A great tribute to a legendary era of steam! Well done, Joe!
10:00 see the drone disappear in the smoke 😅
Outstanding video and audio--as usual!!
As much as I'm not a narrow-gauge fan...This is extra ordinally perfect!!! Keep 'em coming brother!
Fantastic video and enjoyed watching. Have a great rest of your day. Steve
Fantastic filming!

Thank you!!
The editing is so good!! And the framing of all your shots is stellar, for real. Subbed!
6:46 what an amazing shot
Thank you, it was probably my favorite from the whole trip!
What a perfect day for filming a steam locomotive!
Excellent video! I’m adding this to my soundtrack for my model railroad!
Coal smoke, steam, snow and blue, blue sky. Doesn't get better than this! 😊

Spectacular footage!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. Once again it was nice bumping in to you at the Durango roundhouse a couple months prior!
@@fuscoproductions Absolutely! Hoping to make it back out there for the Winter Photo Special in a few months, not sure just yet.
@ likewise, depending on the date.
@@fuscoproductions Well I'll hope to see you there, unless you're planning on attending a certain event in January🙃
Your videos are cinematography, very well done. My first video of yours was your video of Valley Railroad 97 from years ago, awesome to see how far you’ve come
That was a while ago - back when I was still recording on 8mm tape! Glad to have you along for the ride for so long. Thanks for the kind words!
👍⛄️
Next Time PLEASE run the Playback speed of the video at "NORMAL " Speed THANKS !!

It’s stupid of them to eliminate all of the coal burners, it makes sense during fire season but the rest of the year.
@@pvtimberfaller they have their reasons. I’m just grateful they keep steam going, regardless of fuel source!
Meh, I will boycott them.
