I'm grateful for this video and these recordings of number four on the Manitou and pikes peak railway. Now that the railroad had to rebuild and change the cog system set up for the railroad number, four will never operate again on these rails now. These are all just precious memories, but we're fortunate enough that we got to see this in our lifetimes.

My first and only ride was also in '57. The railroad was 66 years old back then. So I figured 2023 would be 66 more years since that '57 ride, and I wanted to get back out there, but life intervened. Maybe I'll shoot for 2089, 66 years from 2023, when I'll be 142 years old. Not holding my breath for that to happen, though.😂🤣😂 We should just be satisfied with memories of those fun times, I guess.

worked on the cog RR for 2 seasons in the early 80's. didn't pay shit but was a pretty cool job. Well tie season (removing rotted or otherwise bad rr ties and installing new, all by hand no machines to help. and at 10,000 ft oxygen was a tad thin)wasn't much fun!!! What they should have showed you was their massive v12 diesel snowblower in action !!!!

@royreynolds108
@royreynolds108 7 лет назад
I think all of the locos are still in existence but on display except for No. 4. They were built by Baldwin Locomotive Works with the new Vauclain compound feature which uses steam twice before being exhausted up the stack for draft. The small cylinder is the high pressure one and the other( on top) is the low pressure one. Both piston rods share a crosshead which is connected to the main rod. Water is sprayed into the cylinders when coming down the mountain to create steam by the compression of the pistons to provide a cushion and control instead of just brakes. So far as I know, there has never been a passenger fatality on the railroad. Several people have died hiking up or down the mountain.

@jacobwoods8738 5 лет назад
Will Horowitz The halfway house and summit water tanks are long gone. The most economic way to remedy this would either be tank car bodies, or the bladder type tanks the California Western has used. Sadly now they are regauging or reracking the line so 4 will likely follow the 1935 diesel and its streamlined coach to Golden, sadly ending heritage operation at yet another line due to regauging.
