Every December for the past several years, TSG Multimedia has teamed up with Mike Armstrong (Coasterfan2105) to bring you special program featuring one of the railroads Mike has visited. It's a truly unique collaboration, as the media and script come from Coasterfan2105, while the editing and narration are done by TSG Multimedia. So far, every annual special has been about steam trains. This year is no different.
We return to Colorado's Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad... This time, in the winter. Come along as we take a ride behind one of D&SNGRR's Mikado 2-8-2 locomotives from Durango all the way to Cascade Canyon and back.
Enjoy shots from the train as well as run-by shots in scenic locations along the route. Add to that lots of historical information, and you are in for a nice trip.

“Florida citrus grower” purchased the railroad. That’s my state, and also from my portion of Florida since there’s nothing but horses and mega farms, and river so clear you can see to the bottom. I like living here more than I like living in Miami. Lots of people with common sense, which accumulates into a linked business accruement related to such temperament. And the forests are beautiful.

What exactly are you talking about?

@patrickkilduff1333 3 года назад

When visiting Denver. Sight seeing train "raced" bicyclists from Durango to Silverton

@glynislailann9056 4 года назад

So beautiful! I would have loved to be a passenger on this train. What a magical experience.💕

@hawkdsl 4 года назад

All I can say is, I would love the idea that something I built was still running strong after 97 years.

@joannecarpenter8725 2 года назад

Such a beautiful trip! The snowy mountains are magnificent! Loved hearing about the history relating to this amazing railroad. I expect to take a train ride in the foreseeable future! Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Blessings.

@vernicethompson4825 5 лет назад

Thank you for dating all the structures!

@donnabroussard4548 4 года назад

Been on that ride twice. Would jump at the chance to go again!

@charlielaudico3523 2 года назад

If their fewer passages why is it running!

@robc.5745 Год назад

Just a beautiful area,Especially in the snow. Well done.

Hermoso me encanta

@randallhermanson7610 5 лет назад

i remember the Silverton Durango. i was on a mountaineering course in the San Juans during 1973. we got one of our resupplies from the train. one of us got to cross a zip line across the river and pick up the supplies. i hadn't yet been bitten by the train bug just the mountain bug. years later i rode Amtrac from Chicago to Central Illinois (one of my many trips), during the winter. I love looking out the window watching the landscape go by but it is especially relaxing when the landscape is covered with snow. i watched Polar Express and love it.

@kennorcott7074 4 года назад

i watched a dvd called winter steam spectacular when i was younger, and this train was always my favorite. ima go watch it again

Of captivating snowy scapes and mesmerizing journeys...Enthralling video and cinematography...

@peterholloway3816 3 года назад

This is the best video of this line, as the commentary is so informative.

@sodon10 7 лет назад

This video is fantastic, but I wish I could listen to it without the narration

@tsgmultimedia 7 лет назад

Kind of hard to make that happen. Sorry about that! At least the information is accurate!

@cracoviancrusader6184 4 года назад

@Joseph Smith He wants tp hear the train sounds.

@struck2soon 8 лет назад

Nicely filmed John, what beautiful scenery and weather! Your commentary was very informative, although at times it did intrude on the engine working hard past the camera. A correction to one of your comments: the blowdown is used to clear sediment from bottom of boiler, not condensed warer. Water is evaporated in a boiler, not condensed! Hope I get to make this trip before I depart the planet.

@tsgmultimedia 8 лет назад

+struck2soon It was filmed by our friend Mike Armstrong - all credit for that goes to him!

@TimothyFultz 8 лет назад

The other correction is that the 10mph speed restriction on the High Line is because of the track curvature, not the ROW clearance. That's the curve that threatened to buck 497 before the C&TS took ownership of her and corrected her trailing truck damage from the Rio Grande days.

@tsgmultimedia 8 лет назад

Thanks for watching!

@ponyhorton4295 3 года назад

A further correction as to road names and place names: it's pronounced "An-ih-muss" not "Anni moss," and the founding railroad was the Denver & Rio Grande WESTERN, aka D&RGW. Documentaries have similar rules as newspaper stories: Fact Check, Fact Check, and Fact Check, and always ask locals and RR company bosses for correct place names and pronunciations. I must also say, your photography is excellent!

@ace4059dds 5 лет назад

Not a local, but vacation Durango every year since 1978. I believe the correct pronunciation of the river is An-uh-muss.

@tsgmultimedia 5 лет назад

The "english pronunciation" of the Spanish word is how you spelled it out. It's a Spanish word, however, so I pronounced it as one. I tend to do that with words that have latin-based origins.

@migranthawker2952 5 лет назад

Excellent. What's not to like?

@ralphdyson7926 5 лет назад

Loved it. Absolutely loved it. Sadly I am on the other side of the pond!

@calvinellis4610 4 года назад

I rode the train back on Labor Day the engine jump the track we were stuck several hours until they sent a rescue train for us

@RRBuilder611 7 лет назад

20:20 A blow down is to remove sediment built up on the bottom of the boiler. not to remove excess steam, (a safety/release valve does that)

@omega-808 7 лет назад

@barrysimmons5489 5 лет назад

Pop off valve is generally located on top of the unit not the bottom.

@haroldsmuck3569 7 лет назад

(from Canada) Must take this Train in the summer, I have never been on this RR, so it is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.

We have taken this Train several times and last time brought our Grandchild. It is well worth the trip there. We were there in June, and twice in August. Have a good trip.

@southernrailwayfan1338 4 года назад

I Been on it 4 times

@JohnSmith-rr2ti 3 года назад

Glad you were able to see it back then. It's gone now...history has been replaced. Even on the great DURANGO TRAIN.

@tsgmultimedia 3 года назад

Are you referring to the oil conversion?

@Trainboivr 2 года назад

I went to the legendary snowy mountains of Denver Colorado. And I really want to go ride a narrow gauge train there.

@sparkslightingable 4 года назад

Some beautiful footage. Loved the way you edited it and put it together. First rate.

@richardkoch8752 2 года назад

Fantastic! Really well done.....Thank you!!!

@raymondlewis616 4 года назад

A great video but get your narrator to ask the locals for the correct pronunciation of names in the local area....he was way off on several.

@tsgmultimedia 4 года назад

Which pronunciation are you concerned with?

@metalheadgamer5751 5 лет назад

i love the Cumbres and Toltec and Durago / Silverton narrow gauge railroads

@davekadel8936 3 года назад

I was on this wonderful train today and it was super! High altitude rush!👍😁🇺🇸

WHY IS 473 ALWAYS RUNNING IN THE WINTER?! Not complaining

@mikeharnett2410 7 лет назад

Really well done video. First rate.

That's some beautiful footage. I've done at least 10 trips on the D&SNGRR but have never done a winter trip. I'll have to add it to my bucket list.

@bobczerwinski305 7 лет назад

Hey John, I bridged over from the N scale Run By's to this one.... Loved it! I have a framed picture in my Den of a double headed steam train along the mountain ledge. It has been on my Bucket List for decades.

@tsgmultimedia 7 лет назад

This is on my list as well. My friend Mike shot all the footage, wrote the script for this video, and has been there many times now. Every time I see it again, I want to go.

@bobczerwinski305 7 лет назад

Since Mike's been there many times which does he recommend.... Summer or Snow?

@tsgmultimedia 7 лет назад

You know, I did not ask him. But considering the scenery and the equipment, how could you go wrong any time of the year?

@vernicethompson4825 5 лет назад

C. W. McCall's "The Silverton" should be playing as background music for this video. He calls it "Train to Yesterday." The lyrics say pretty much the same thing as your narration.

@migranthawker2952 5 лет назад

No, no, please, definitely NO background music!!

@wallyspook9435 4 года назад

The song is, I warn you, very infectious, and will be stuck in your head... Good tune. Check it out!!!! Happy New Year!

@ponyhorton4295 3 года назад

It's an excellent song. As is his song Gallopin' Goose.

@timidater4803 6 лет назад

how do they heat the cars in winter? gas heaters?

@thecoloradokid1758 6 лет назад

Old wood fired cast iron stoves. You'd be surprised how warm the cars can get when they fire the stoves up

@timidater4803 6 лет назад

cool!!, i mean hot!!LOL!

Thanks - a very informative description of part of the route prior to my visit in 4 weeks time.

Indeed. There is another video about the Eureka on the D&SNGRR that you might find interesting. It's in the same play list as this video. Thank you for watching!

@kerryjames7150 Год назад

Snow from the smke stack indicates too much waterin the boiler causing damage to valves and cylinders . Alro the Locomotive is changes from 73 to 86 , why .

@saaamember97 3 года назад

For Pete's sake, it's pronounced Rio Grande (GRAN-day), not "Rio Grand." Do some research, before putting out a narrated video!

@tsgmultimedia 3 года назад

The American English pronunciation is exactly as spoken in the narration. If you want to pronounce it with the correct Latin-based origin, it's "Rio Grahn-deh" with rolled Rs for the proper effect. Your mispronunciation isn't correct in either case. People I know who worked for the Rio Grande when it was still around all say it the way I do.
