@paulkalff6408 Год назад

Simon! Welcome to the Left Coast of the Colonies! Yes, the area around SLC's Rio Grande Station has been on a downward slide for several decades, now. You did get to drive past Magna and the exit to Toole, which is sort of cool in the AM....the bombing range for USAF from Hill AFB, the salt flats, and the idyllic burg of Wendover! Glad you met with Dale and Karyn! Andale! "Prayers are answered." "Miracles happen." "Dreams come true." G. B. Handy

@Prewarpostwaramdmore Год назад

I grew up going to those two stations. I'm sad that you weren't able to go into either of them. The inside of the Rio Grande station is gorgeous.

@ThatBIGTRAINGuy Год назад

You did? Wow! Yeah it is a shame. At least one of them is having some work done. Hopefully the other one will also get some care soon. 🤞

@maddogmerv Год назад

I'm excited to see all of the stops on your trip. I'm glad you got the touch base with Dale while you were here, he is quite the amazing guy. He actually went to high school with my brother.

Oh I saw some great things and places. I have a lot to share. Yes, I was very pleased to meet up with Dale and Karyn. Lovely people. Cool he went to school with your brother! Thanks Merv.

The Rio Grande sign is not illuminated right now due to construction. They are reinforcing the building after it was damaged in the 2020 earthquake.

@ThatBIGTRAINGuy Месяц назад

Thanks. I was sure I'd seen photos post-earthquake with it illuminated. So, work is going ahead? Do you know if there are plans of the building being used again soon?

@ThatBIGTRAINGuy 11 месяцев назад

Heeeey Terry! Thanks so much. I hope you enjoy the series. Oh you need to see Iron Maiden! I'd say they keep getting better with each tour, but they can't be around forever. (They're in their 60s now!)

@richardbroadwell7990 Год назад

Hey Simon ... Dr. Ric in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. Main comment I would/can make is good you are safe. But, must say, I can and will avoid St. Lake City, Utah re steam train enjoyment. Have visited all the main steam train sites out west, but anything in similar regard in St. Lake worth doing is pretty much ill-defined in my opinion. Your video experience in St. Lake confirms my statement. Looking forward to your reporting yet to come. Curious ... where you on your own for the two weeks visit or did you have a companion to share driving and expenses? You obviously had a great deal of territory to cover. Cheers, R

@ThatBIGTRAINGuy Год назад

Hi Dr Ric. Well, I wasn't expecting to see much more than these station buildings as a starting line for my adventure. Rio Grande Station is very significant to what I was doing. I was excited to see it. This was a solo trip. Just me and my hired Mitsubishi Outlander as my partner. Although, in my mind I wasn't alone because I was talking to you guys, the viewers, over the whole two weeks. I did bump into a few people I knew along the way, but I was traveling alone. I have so much to share! Cheers Simon

The inside of the Union Pacific depot was where they filmed parts of dumb and dumber

@ThatBIGTRAINGuy 5 месяцев назад

I just looked that up. The charity ball with the owls. Wow! I didn't know this before. Thanks! I also just learned it was filmed in Park City too. I was there in 2016, and in my video I actually used the same song as the soundtrack (though we were leaving, when in the movie they were arriving). I made a feature-length documentary of that trip, with Dumb and Dumber references throughout! I'll put a link, but incase RU-vid blocks it: Channel: US Road Trip Video: US Road Trip 2016: Day 9 - Park City, UT. to Salt Lake City UT. - SALT LAKE BEES BASEBALL
