I was on this train as a kid and won the Jellybean Contest to guess how many Jellybeans were in the jar. From what I remember, the ride was phenomenal, especially the open cars and the amazing views. Since then, I like history and I’d love to ride again in the future and learn more about the history of the railway and the land around it. I don’t remember the FP7’s but I do remember one EMD GP9 and 2 GP26. I’d definitely go back just to see the FP7’s alone as a classic train enthusiast. Thanks for the video and the memories!
The views on that railway look amazing. It's also funny to see F-Units termed as historic and doing easy tasks like this: Where I am in Australia, we still have quite a few of our equivalent running freight trains regularly!
I played with having an excursion train running on my model railroad based on railroads like this. Locally we have the Baldwin Railroad with a station called Nowhere. Yes, there is a Nowhere, Kansas.
Well, that was a great surprise. That looks like a great little trip. Majestic and beautiful scenery. But…… having visited Arizona during the summer months, probably a fall, winter, and spring trip. Thanks for sharing.
Dave, Thank you for the video. I have watched it a couple of times now. That is the scenery I want on my narrow gauge mining railroad. The rock colors are striking. In the video about 1:36 there is a lower area of rock that appears almost black. Is that also limestone? Keep video coming!
