For about 5 years now, I have been consistently capturing operational steam locomotives of the former Denver & Rio Grande Western, and just recently I have been able to capture the majority of the locomotives that operate (and operated) at both the Durango & Silverton and Cumbres & Toltec. To celebrate this I compiled together my favorite captures of each engine into one video. Enjoy!

The Denver and Rio Grande Western approves of this video

You gonna need to get 491 and 346 (She's not operational right now, but was untill late 2021, and she's only out because of the 15 year mandated maintenance)

@brianfalzon6739 Год назад

What will happen to 497 in the future?

@dellvostro3008 Год назад

depends if C&TS is willing to fix its serious boiler flaw

@HinckleyBranchRailfan Год назад

Possible chance will run again, but it seems the 492 has been chosen for restoration instead, despite the 497 having less missing parts.

@RioGrande486 Год назад

For now, she will continue to be on display. Hopefully one day the C&TS chooses to fix her so she can run alongside 492. If not, hopefully some volunteers will restore her, or maybe she could return to the Durango & Silverton after all these years and they’ll fix her up. Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll have enough money to fix her myself with a group of volunteers and she’d see steam again for many years to come!

@@HinckleyBranchRailfan 11 months late but yup. 492 was chosen because it had a newer boiler (1948 iirc as opposed to 497's C-41 boiler). They've mentioned that if the need arises aka traffic rises high enough they'll restore 497 and give it a new tender (as 497's current tender, in true K-37 fashion, is going to the 492).

I thank you for taking time to supply endless beautiful shots for us greedy Grande railfans.

Anything for the Grande fans!

I have seen most of these D&RGW steam locomotives. They are all very cool.

@penginator89 10 месяцев назад

where is 491 and 493

@DRGW492 Год назад

You need to update this when 492 returns to operation

@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks Год назад

That's gonna be a few years.

@charonsferryold Год назад

487's whistle is oddly beautiful with its high pitch. Reminds me of EBT 17's fouled three chime.

@arcapub Год назад

more like this please. do you know if 497 will return to operate again?

@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks Год назад

Not anytime soon. However, the C&TS recently announced they want to restore #492.

@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan Год назад

@@ArkansasLocomotiveWorkshat’s a great locomotive to pick because It’ll fill the gap in between the already operating engines 491 at the Colorado Railroad Museum, in Golden and the 493 on the Durango and Silverton that is actually a great idea to choose an engine with an in between the number of the two already operating K37 locomotives

@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks Год назад

@@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyanThat really wasn't the reason. 492 is simply in better shape than 497.

@strasburgrailfan4754 Год назад

When 492 is restored it will probably be in Chama.

You forgot K-37 #491, operational at the Col. Railroad Museum in Golden. 😊

@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks 9 месяцев назад

I'm very aware of its existence, I've just yet to document it.

this is the type of content that we should be having on train sim world game!

Narrow Gauge American short line content would be so awesome to have. The Train Simulator classic from Dovetail has two narrow gauge routes from a dev named Smokebox Simulations. Clear Creek and Rio Grande Southern.

@zebrashark23 Год назад

such a shame that most of these have been converted into oil burners.

@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks Год назад

Just be thankful they are still operating.

@RioGrande486 Год назад

I mean sure, it kind of ruins the tradition of coal fired steam locomotives, but being converted to oil burners is better than starting another 416 and not being able to run ever again. So, yeah, just be thankful they’re operating.

@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks Год назад

@@RioGrande486 It's not ruining a tradition. It's just embracing new technologies and keeping the locomotives in active service.

@samueljackson8020 Год назад

What happened to 478? Why doesn’t she run ?

@RioGrande486 Год назад

She was going to be traded to the C&TS for 483 back in 2015, but the trade never went through, so she was taken out of service in 2016. I recently talked to an employee and he said that the railroad is still deciding on whether they’re going to restore 478 or 486 to operating condition first. Hopefully both of them are back in steam soon!

@@RioGrande486 478 possibly had the most beautiful whistle out of any of those old steamers. Here's hoping she returns sooner than later.

@RioGrande486 10 месяцев назад

@@thunderbird1921 About a month ago the Durango & Silverton announced the 478 would begin conversion to an oil burner in early 2024 and will return in 2-3 years!
