- Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad (Denver and Rio Grande Western) No. 463 is a 3-foot narrow-gauge class "K-27" 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam railway locomotive built for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG) by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1903. It is one of two remaining locomotives of D&RGW class K-27, the other one being No. 464 at the Huckleberry Railroad in Genesee Township, Michigan. The class eventually became known by the nickname "Mudhens". Today, No. 463 is operational on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad between Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado.
Fifteen locomotives were built, originally class 125, then reclassified K-27 in 1924 when the D&RG became the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW). The K-27s were built as Vauclain compounds, with two cylinders on each side, expanding the steam once in the smaller cylinder and then a second time in the larger one. The extra maintenance costs of the two cylinders were greater than the fuel saving, so they were converted to simple expansion in 1907-1909.[2] They were Rio Grande's last purchase of compound locomotives. They pulled freight, passenger and mixed trains on the D&RGW in and over the Colorado Rocky Mountains, traversing the entire length of the railroad. They were built with their main structural frames outside the driving wheels, with the counterweights and rods attached outside the frames. - Авто та транспорт
Thank you. I rode on this line in 1984 with my wife and little girl. We rode on it because the kid was crazy for trains. We had a wonderful time and i have so many memories of that day. You can not explain to some one who doesn't know just how wonderful riding on a steam train is.
That’s amazing. One day I will make a return trip to ride this train. 🍻 cheers
Sou feliz me criei viajando movido a máquina vapor morei ao lado da estação .
انا من مواليد 1980 كان عمري 4 اعوام لما كان موعد رحلتكم 😊 انا احب الاختراعات القديمه مثل هذا القطار الذي يسير بمحرك بخاري ستيرلنغ
Love it! Thanks so much for taking the vid and sharing it with us. All thumbs up.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🍻
cette vidéo est FABULEUSE , directement sortie de la grande époque de la conquête de l'ouest et sans oublier le bruit de la machine à vapeur ...c'est incroyable à revivre ...de France !
Thank you! I loved my visit to the Normandy area of France! 🇫🇷
This video would make a kid happy, watching the train chuff loud and proud.
Agreed. Although seeing it in person is a while different level 🍻 cheers
I know I’m only 19 but I just know this thing made a lot of history to still be working❤!
Cheers 🍻
Glad to see your Interested as a Young man, in Steam Machines of yesterday , that BUILT America one mile at a time . Steam was KING .... And in some ways REMAINS so : )
One of the LARGEST machines in the world , a US Navy Aircraft Carrier ,RUNS on STEAM !!
all the Nuclear reactor does ,is HEAT water to make STEAM that turns the Propellers : )
(Steam Driven Turbines Turn the Propeller Shafts )
Very cool content! Appreciate that there was no music other than that steam engine! This just came up in my feed, first time ever. Liked so much I subscribed. Cheers.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. You don’t need to add music when part of the appeal of these amazing machines is the noise they produce!
I am re-enactor of the Old West in northern central Arizona as A Highwayman, I love reading books about Old West especially in Arizona read couple books involving train robberies. I watched this video and think of Old West frontier. The mechanism of these train engines amaze me. Good job
That’s awesome! It’s even more impressive to see in person as you probably know
Awesome chugging and wonderful whistle
Agreed. Definitely worth seeing in person
A beautiful and well done machine, made without computers. It's wonderful watch and listen to it. Thank You, very much.
Agreed. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers 🍻
somewhat emotional of being locked in childhood rides.
🍻
Perfect!!! Absolutely perfect!!!! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!! 🍻
Having been fortunate enough to have travelled the world in search of steam railways I can easily say that the Cumbres & Toltec is, in my opinion, my favourite steam railway. The scenery, the railway engineering and the friendly railway staff are the best.
That’s awesome to hear. I plan to eventually go back to take a trip on this train
A lifetime steam fan now in Spain. The narrow gauge Gandia to Alcoy line "el tren Ingles ran just 200 m from my casita in Gaianes , used by my dad , spare time as cook/steward on McAndrew vessels
That’s amazing. I would love to see the steam engines in Europe one day
Simply wonderful!
Thank you!
It really says chug, a chuga, chuga!
It’s like an industrial sewing machine powered by steam 🍻
Gazab. Excellent. mere bachpan ke din yaad Aagaye. This time I am Sixty Six years old & Living in Lucknow U.P. Thanks a lot to you Sir.
🍻thanks
Very amazing running of this steam engine in after of 120 years now 👍👍
Amazing to see in person 🍻
Love the sound
🍻
Sounds so good on the subwoofer on my computer speakers!
That’s a great idea. I should listen to this on a good sound system 🍻
Great video! This is a very good study of steam locomotive suspension at work. You can see the equalizers and trailing truck interplay with the natural undulations of the track as it goes over the road. Neat to see it in action. I very much appreciated this video, thanks.
Thanks! It’s definitely mesmerizing to watch how the different parts all work together. Amazing piece of machinery 🍻
The sight is beholding, the sound 🔉 is so cool never seen one in kenya 🇰🇪
Agreed. It’s much better in person!
O ho ho.good good and good.video, Engine superb, and nice looking..
Thanks! 🍻
Outstanding Video study of the Baldwin K27 Locomotive in ACTION !! wow Magnificent Filming of my FAVORITE Steam Narrow gauge Locomotive ! Impressive and Delightful I should say
Many thanks !! My grandfather and an uncle both worked at Baldwin Locomotive Works and Baldwin Lima Hamilton as it once became : )
Cheers ~
That’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video. It was amazing to experience in person
I love the cow catcher and the big headlight
It really looks official 🍻
You did a great job on this video. I've got a couple clips of C&T engines pulling out over on my channel. I can't get enough of C&T, so going back in 2023!
Thank you! I was just passing by that area on the way to Santa Fe. It was an amazing experience to see in person
Zdravím z Czech Republic. Krásná mašina a krásné video. Ať se daří.

Hello! very nice sound of old timmer steam locomotive. Greetings from France.
Thank you! I love France 👍
Loucura !!!
Yes!
Nice engine chase.
Thanks 🍻

Que beleza de locomotiva! Muito bom o vídeo. Adorei.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🍻
Great video awesome audio.
Thank you!
Can I please have this on a loop, like maybe ten hours of chugga chugga, hoot hoot? 🙏😄🚂
I could do that. I’m sure others may enjoy it
My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🚋🚊🛤🚞🚝🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃 especially steam locomotives 🚂 like 463. He says what he likes about it is its smaller size and high pitched whistle which makes it different from all the other steam locomotives on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. He also hopes that steam locomotive #497 is restored to operation soon and the line between Chama and Durango is rebuilt and used again as well as the line to Torrington and the Rio Grande Southern Railroad but he doesn't want that to be wishful thinking he wants it to be a reality! He hopes that the Denver & Rio Grande Western line to Santa Fe is restored and the line to Alamosa is either converted back to narrow gauge or a third rail is added so narrow gauge trains can run on it as well. He really believes that it would increase business in Durango & Silverton and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroads and give the passengers a change of scenery.
It’s possible! I’m glad he enjoyed the video
@@WW2Hangar Good 👍👌👏😋🙌😌 we are glad you agree and appreciate your kind comment. John 3:16 🙏

Arrr we need more videos like this
Thanks!
Amazing how long things last when they are designed to last instead of being designed to be replaced. Gorgeous to watch!
Very true! Glad you enjoyed it!

Different TIME and Different AGE ..... Unlike Today , sadly
You have no idea how much work it takes to keep them running
She was built to last! Sometimes feel I was born in wrong era.
She’s quite the machine!
And with the approaching Space Age, the old Steam Age hardiness must make a return. Until we figure out space elevators or antigravity or orbital tethers or stargates we ain't getting up there, but once we do we are going to need the old "Built to Last" design goals or else nobody will survive out there.

Super beautiful video
Thank you 🍻 Glad you enjoyed it
Un bellissimo video ottimo restauro
Thanks 🍻
Unos genios aquellos hombres que inventaron esas maquinas y con el vapor pudieron funcionar excelente me gusta mucho esas grandes maquinas muybien bravo se merecen un gran 👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪👍👍👍👍🙏🙋♀️🙋♂️🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

What a grand good looig old engine.I cold watch this for hours. Thanks for for this crisp and beautifully shot clip. They are huge piston valves-I wonder if the engine originally had slide valves? I must do some research! :-)
To be honest I was just passing through this area of the country and saw they were about the leave. Spoke to someone that was worming there and they told me where to get a great shot of it leaving the station. I could also watch this for hours. Glad you enjoyed it🍻
That's the way a train should sound!!!
Amazing isn’t it?
Sosososo thank you my dear Sir my child hood
🍻
Wow..... A friend of mine built a wooden one, special!!!
Wow! 🍻
Круто снято!
Thanks! 🍻
Photography is Excellent.
Thank you! 🍻
Yes it can be owned by the Colorado railroad museum
Very nice
Thank you! 🍻
BEAUTIFUL CAMERA WORK
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Que emocionante trem a vapor 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
😁😁😁😁😁😁
Very cool
Thanks!
@@WW2Hangarthank you again for wanting to share it is very cool and unique
Glad you enjoyed it! 🍻
@@WW2HangarIs this train always actively operating Until now
Not sure if this has been operational the entire time. I know they’ve had this engine for a while
perfect . original clear cut sounds of the working machine.👌👌
Yes. The sounds of machines like this are also just as amazing as seeing it in person 👍
*Very cool video* I can't keep up with my first video👍👍👍
Yeah?
That whistle sounds like it needs a tune up
The microphone on the camera is adjusting the sound due to how loud the whistle is. Trust me, it works really well 😂
eu quando olho estás locomotivas vejo asua imponemsia sua robustes asua elegância é muimto deslumbrante é semduvidas uma grande tequilogia inventada pelo homem é demais fico deslumbrado sempre
🍻
Old is gold
💪🍻
Maravilla
Thank you 🙏
Wonderful and charming machine... with great soul....😊🔔....
A perfect description of this amazing machine
@@WW2Hangar Thank you. Several people in my family were railwaymen, hence my love for old steam locomotives .... Fantastic video. 😊♥
That’s very cool. Glad you enjoyed the video. It’s important to keep these old machine running so others can enjoy them.
Mi fallecido esposo amaba el tren debe tener uno en el cielo su sueño era manejar uno 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🏵️💜
💪
A mi tambien me gustan mucho los trenes, especialmente estos como los de mi pais.
Hope he got his heart's desire as he bids all to board & ride❤!

Love the old steam trains. I live in a small town and the railroad known as the clinchfield railroad. Which we had a steam train that CSX got it gone from it's right home and now is in museum in Ohio. The railroad is just about gone here in our town and I wish that the towns people would get together and bring our steam engine back home where it belongs. It's very sad
Understandable. At least there are people willing to keep these things running for others to experience
Wonderful. 120yrs old steam engiene most powerful than diesel and electric engiene
It’s amazing she still runs 🍻
Just out of curiosity at what speed were you pacing at, do you recall?
At what point of the video?
Nice video, likes from me !!
Thanks 🍻
👍👍🤩🤩
🍻🍻🍻🍻
Out of curiosity, is the whistle on this locomotive original to it? Many of the other locomotives I have seen on the Cumbres and Toltec line have the Rio Grande "chime" whistle.
I have ridden the Durango and Silverton line twice and the Georgetown Loop twice, but never got down to Antonito to ride this line. It is on the bucket list to do...
That is a good question. Maybe someone will chime in to verify. I’m would love to go back and actually ride this one day 🍻 How are those trips?
@@WW2Hangar The Durango and Silverton is a water grade and is mostly about the scenery. The Georgetown Loop is only about 6 miles but climbs about 900 feet. There is a very high bridge where the locomotive crawls over it at less than 10mph. You can feel the bridge shaking..they use Shays sometimes to pull maybe 6 gondolas or passenger cars. I want to ride the Cumbres line partly because of the 4% climb from Chama to the summit. Having walked or driven a lot of abandoned railbeds, it would be cool to experience it as it originally was.
That sounds amazing!
Great video of #463, I see Jeff is the engineer driving 👍👍👍
That’s awesome you can tell from the video. How many engineers do they have?
In my youth went on the Cornish Riviera Express, Paddington to Penzance , hauled by King class & double headed for the Dainton incline. 1955 approx ,comfortable good food & cheaper than by car .
That would be amazing to experience. I’ve taken the Caledonia sleeper to Edinburgh. 😂
Thanks for the clarification
They might want to check their cylinder packing, it’s a little steamy
Contact them! 🍻

I Like Nice Steam Engine
Steam engines are amazing! 💪
Раскраска - будд - то апокалипсис!
Sure why not 🍻
good
Yes
Great footage - interesting to me that this engine looks so “compact” - so many steam engines had such higher driving wheels
The K-27 locomotives were built with their frames outside the wheels to allow for a much larger boiler without increasing the total height. As a result the engine looks compact like you mentioned, despite being quite large for its gauge.
Interesting! 🍻
It’s a great looking steam engine
Narrow gauge locomotives were NOT built for speed , but for Pulling Power ,Hence smaller driving wheels unlike Mainline standard Gauge locomotives of the Day .The narrow gauge rails , Sharp Curves and Mountainous track , required slower speeds and lots of Power : )
These locomotives performed exceedingly well on these narrow rails and steep curves .
Very interesting! You can tell this locomotive was a beast
I don't know why i'm crying
Could it be the excessive coal smoke? 😂
@@WW2Hangar no sir ..... I was imaging that train is me....at the moment when he start to walk ...I started to cry ... I felt that is my life and I sacrificed to my dream ....everything I say "I walk slow forward but I'll never walk backward ...and this amazing train ever seen ,,, finaly I find my train!
You’re the steam train!
Great video. Awesome machine
Thank you 🍻 It was impressive to see in person
Видел уже такую обложку ,только паровоз ехал вправо
Maybe someone copied the video
Just amazing to see some old freight cars still around when passing by! Wooden gondolas and box cars have to be almost extinct!
Agreed. Amazing to see in person! 🍻
The 467 looks really rough, was it made to look like that for a reason or is it really looking that bad?
What about it looks so bad?
Interesting
Паровоз, как живое существо, дышит, двигается.
Very true! 🍻
It hurts that in Mexico, there are no classic trains in circulation anymore.
Really?
What was a golden time and days of stem locomotive, v. Beautiful and Rema bering life.
Agreed!
Actually 463 is done of 3 k 27s still around 464 and 455
Nice! 🍻
I live in Michigan close to Crossroads Village where 464 runs. She's down for a rebuild now.
That’s awesome. Have you been able to see it in person before the rebuild?
@@WW2Hangar yes many years ago. We was just there at Christmas and they had #152 running that's when I found out they took 464 down for a rebuild. They just posted a Job Listing on their Facebook looking for volunteers to help with the rebuild of 464
That would be an amazing opportunity
Kereta yang sangat bagus 👍👍
🍻
What are the changes in steam engine from time to time
Over the years?
463 can now make 80km/h with better balanced drivers it can do 170 km/h. Left front wheel, add to counterweight 5 cm from wheel ring, 60g second wheel reduce 78g, 3rd wheel add 90g 4th reduse 67g. Right side add 75g reduce 87g add 69g reduce 89g
🍻
What w rhythm.......
Hypnotizing! 😀
It can go 60km/h. With balanced wheels it can go 130. Left front add 45g second add 60g 3rd reduce 80g 4th reduce 30g Right side front driver reduce 90, Add 60 add 56 reduce 87. last add 80g only. Is 5 cm from wheelring.
🍻 interesting
