This Annual Steam Special follows the Eureka and Palisade No. 4, a wood burner, from Durango Colorado to Cascade Canyon in The Rockies and back again. The Durango and Silverton is one of our favorite railroads. This video was filmed by Mike Armstrong, and narrated by John Abatecola as our second annual collaborative steam special, released in 2013. Enjoy!

Coaster fan 2105 would love this😊
Im French. Please preserve this national treasure ! This locomotive is a precious survivor ! I hope to do a travel one day across the US, visiting East coast, california, Colorado and then, come aboard this dreamy train !!!
Don't forget to visit the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City, Nevada.
Eureka & Palisade #4 is a Narrow Gauge 4-4-0 “American” Type built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1875. It pulled trains through out the E&P system. Until being retired in 1896. And was used for other railroads and appeared in movies. In 1980, the locomotive was donated to a amusement park called Old Vegas in Henderson, Nevada on display. In 1985, the #4 was damaged in a fire from the park. A year later, the locomotive was restored to operation. And operated at other tourist railroads like the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, Nevada State Railroad Museum, and the Nevada Southern Railway. Today, #4 is in operation for events at tourist railroads, as the oldest narrow gauge 4-4-0 locomotive in operation.
I have always loved # 4 since I first saw The Shootist back when I was a kid & knew it was John Wayne's last movie in 1976.
Great! Eureka and Palisade is everyone's second favorite steam train! Agreee????
What a wonderfully restored loco.The amount of work done to restore is exceptionally good and the timber bodied end platform cars are beautiful. Well done and also to the film editor and narrator who make this a delight to watch.
Simply a Dream ! This is the beautifulest train of the world !!!! So magical ! Too much beauty and dream...
Thank you. This video perfectly illustrates why folks just can't get enough of steam trains.
Mike did an awesome job shooting the video for this program!

Would it be too late for y’all to post this video on Facebook? I would have liked to share it.
What a fantastic locomotive & line. I would love to visit. I really like the style & look of 4-4-0 American wood burners, they are so distinctive.
Hello from Kansas 🇺🇸
Beautiful condition for 145 years old.
The Eureka and Palisade #4 in my opinion is the most beautiful 4-4-0 I have ever seen.
It is an operational show piece isn't it?
This is the most FUN Silverton down to Durango...I would love to do it again. It is a very unique little engine. THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD...well almost if it doesn't have too may cars, it can only handle one and a caboose.
A visual delight and a grand perspective on historic railroading!

I love these old trains!
I love train no.4& trains.
I drive this thing all the time in railroads online.
Thanks for all the great comments! If you know someone who would like this video, please share it!

17:51 never knew theses 2 locomotives have met each other
A file of history and beauty...
Excellent!! Thanks for filming in HD, too. Wonderfully photographed, very well written and perfectly narrated. You make it look easy and simple--which it ain't. It was a joy to watch.
Great film, thx for sharing...
Very sharp looking loco!!
I wish we have steam trains in pilinines
Rail Fest occurs every August. This year it ran from August 14th to 17th.
subbed because such a great video and brilliant commentary
+chris schooled Thank you for watching!
Hard to believe the hard work and dedication required to restore this loco as it was in a fire and the building collapsed on it.
For sure. I didn't even know it had been in that kind of disaster!
Not to mention that the boiler is the original.
Do you know if that is the engine appearing in the 1950s movie adaptation of "around the world in 80 days"?
Cool vid. Thanx 4 posting it.
Thanks for watching! If you know anyone else who might like our content, please share the channel!
Seems to be a great site for those who like trains and model railroading :)
Yes, it sure does!
I got a ride in the cab of the Eureka when she was at the Nevada Southern Railroad museum in Dec. 2018
How frequently does the stoker have to throw a log on the fire?
I don’t remember exactly, but it know we did it a few times during the half mile or so we went.
Cool train
Shes a great looking little locomotive. Would love to see the Locomotive Glenbrook on the D&S one of these days. Wonder of the NSRM would let it happen
A little what was left of the scene both the 315 and the Eureka no longer visit the Durango and Silverton Narrow gauge railroad and have moved to the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic railroad, and all of the DSNGR engines are being converted to burn oil and almost all of them have been completely converted with the exception of two engines that been 486 and 481 the future of coal burning steam locomotives in the US is uncertain at this time as to mainline, steam engines are being converted to burn oil. Both engines include Milwaukee Road 261 and Pere Marquette 1225
bellissimo!!!! very noce!
Grazie!
cool wood burning locomotive
Dan Markoff is working on a replica E&P coach. Should be finished soon.
one day I may get there...
It.s nice vidéo iam SNTF from algeria
Welcome 2 the Wild West.
I heard Eureka still has her original boiler.
Old railroad trestles.
loved it, which train is it that goes along side the Arkansas River down in the royal gorge?
trooper2221 You are thinking of the Royal Gorge Route Railroad. I have heard that is very much worth going on.
tsgmultimedia ok thanks
I believe I've seen a video or two by TSG Multimedia on RFD TV. It's the same case here. The trains are great, but I wish the narration was less dry and robotic!
the eureka is that dans loco he restored?
I just calculated the power output per hour for that old hydroelectric plant and it's 3.2 MW, just as an ES44AC :P
goagăl minus That is pretty amazing.
tsgmultimedia It sure is. If you convert it to 3000 volts DC, you could power a Milwaukee Little Joe with it.
goagăl minus It would be a real trick if someone figured out how to pull a train with the dam. |8-P
tsgmultimedia Absolutely not. It's just basic power conversion with transformers. In my country, most of them are powered by hydroelectric plants. We have very few coal/gas power plants. Hoover Dam has a power output of 2000 MW which is the power of 625 ES44AC in notch 8 all the time, and that's a lot. Take out the prime mover, mount in a transformer, a overhead wire system to transport the power and you're good to go. I love D&SNGRR btw. I hope one day I could make a trip there to take a ride with it.

1:28 looks like coasterfan2105's intro XD
Mike may have used some of these shots since he is the one who filmed all of them!
What kind of signalling do they use? How does dispatch handle run-bys?
So even with those cars being as old as they are, I take it they aren't from the same time period as the locomotive, otherwise it could pull more.
At 20:45, please tell me that is a McDonald's they built to look like a train station and not a train station that got turned into a Mcdonald's! D:
Benjamin0119 That’s just a regular McDonald’s. The train station is the original one built back in the 1880’s which is behind the person taking this video.
@@donaldwallace7934 Thanks for the reply!
Oh thank god.
I see now that that is the old roof design McDonald's used to have. I guess this one didn't get the sleek "modern" remodel ours and many of the others did. But why does it have that tower? That along with the roof makes it look like a train station!
Benjamin0119 I can’t say regarding the tower on top of the McDonald’s. Just the way it was built I guess.
am i the only one who saw the the caboose got flipped
Hey John awesome video , do you know if #4 is a replica or original ? Reason I ask July 17 i visited Northern Central Railway here in PA and they have and engine in #17 identical to this but its a replica . I did a short video of it . I didn't think there were any others like her around .
Hey Jerry, I don't think the Eureka is a replica.
Two or three cars if it isn't going all the way up to Silverton.
I did not catch when the rail-fest happens there. What month does it occur on?
@ 1 minute 22 seconds into the video the narrator says it occurs in August.
exilfromsanity
Thanks I did not catch that the first time I watched the video.

No problem
Always love the Eureka, she would have looked better with the burgundy D&RG coaches
It is a really cool locomotive!
The burgundy coaches are generally heavier. She pulled the Nomad once but it weights more than 4 times what an E&P coach did.
How many railroad trestles r there?
I bet you could find the answer to that question on D&SNGRR's web site. Let us know when you find out!
Very nice video, lovely scenery and a beautiful train. I just wish the conductor(s) would be a little less enthusiastic with thebell ringing and the constant tooting.
+Tao Pretty sure the conductor doesn't ring any bells or blow any whistles on this train. Thanks for watching!
+Tao There is a reason the fireman rings the bell at every station and the engineer blows the whistle when approaching grade crossings (two long, one short, one long) and when departing (two short for forward, three short for reverse), as well as coming to a complete stop one short). This is standard practice for pretty much all railroads in the US. It seems like a lot of whistle blowing in this video because we are mostly just seeing the locomotive as it moves around the yard and depot, and going through grade crossings. While aboard and underway it would be much less frequent.
Guess it is just the cut's in that case. Thank you for the infos. :)
dat awkward moment when your engine cant pull more than two 100 year old cars at a time XD
Well the engine is also 100 years old as well...
Because of the grades and train weight is why 2-8-0's were quickly adopted as standard power on the D&RG soon after construction began and before the line got to Durango. Five or six cars would be a heavy train on less than 1% grade with the Eureka.
Roy Reynolds
There is a reason 2-8-0 and 2-8-2 types were used from the 1890s to the 1960s.
I believe the last revenue use of a steamer(on a common carrier) was a 2-8-0 in 1986.
