Absolutely stunning! Brilliant piece of film. Visited some years ago on trip from UK and bought back fond memories. We were in an open wagon behind the loco and got the full effect - and my old SLR 35mm camera still has coal dust in it! What a railroad. The scenery is beyond belief and is what the States is all about. Fantastic. We haven't really got anything like that over here. Thank you.

It pulled the train from Antonito to Osier. Then it switched trains with 487. I also saw the two other K-36 locomotives that were at Chama, 483 and 484. 483 was at the yard. And 484 was at the Roundhouse. Which originally had nine stalls. Now there two that remained today. I also filmed the train ride. It was on July 2 2016.

Fusco nails it again...as usual! Meanwhile, can someone identify the different whistles, with time stamps? Some locos' whistles change between scenes, leading me to speculate that this vid is a compilation of clips shot on different visits to C&TS in different years. For instance, No. 484's whistle at the beginning up to Cresco tank changes in the immediately following Windy Point section, and not for the better. I particularly like 484's whistle up to that point...a pleasant 5 chime that gets a nice mournful effect even with only minimal quilling. Most interesting: in the close up views of it very early in the vid, it looks like photos I've seen of Jersey Central passenger Camelback whistles...a medium length, slightly fat bell; flat top with a small nut; straight-edged chamber dividers. See Phil Hastings's photos from atop the tender of a CNJ 750-789 class 4-6-0 in "TRAINS Rides A Camelback." You can also see what looks like it in Northeast Railfan's CNJ steam photos of 150. plus series 4-6-0 Camelbacks and 200 series 2-6-2Ts. And in a news shot in TRAINS c. 1960, there's a photo of dormant 113 at the coal mine with such a whistle, IIRC. I've never heard of any recordings of those whistles surfacing, so if this is one, what a score!!! No. 113's bowl section does perhaps look a little too massive, but it could be a CNJ bell that fit an existing bowl and valve that were already on the engine. Of course, somebody who heard and remembers the whistles on CNJ could weigh in if he or she sees this.

None of the videos show you the buffet meal that you have halfway through the trip for your lunch break or dinner break it is a long day because you get a bus ride back to your original location the 60 mile train ride hour and a half to two hour bus trip plan on an 8 to 10 hour day for this adventure stay in nearby Pagosa Springs so you can enjoy the spring water bathing Springs at two of the hotels

As for the time of year, I’m sure you can find videos of the C&T in late September and/or early October. I wasn’t able to get the time off around that time of year, so green trees would have to do! I would love to get back to Colorado in the fall or even winter (Durango & Silverton runs to Cascade canyon close to hear-round.)

The Cresco water tank shot required a short but not inconsequential hike. There is a place to park your car up on the hillside and near the small crossing that you hear the engine blow its whistle for before it rounds the curve. If you get this shot, the next available spot you can get is most like Cumbres Pass/Windy Point. There are PLENTY of views of the railroad all along the highway. It's almost a tough decision to figure out where NOT to shoot. Truly a stellar piece of railroad.

Was shut down for major renovation, planned reopening in mid-2021. See www.cograilway.com/
How many days did it take you to do this excellent work?

I believe it was five. Two days of riding and three of chasing. Thanks for the kind words!
You got it lol
about carbon and snow and steam snowplow rotary yesterday it was only a gentle joke
3:32 how did you get there? I was planning on taking a trip there and I was wondering how many different shots I can get of it.

The Cresco water tank shot required a short but not inconsequential hike. There is a place to park your car up on the hillside and near the small crossing that you hear the engine blow its whistle for before it rounds the curve. If you get this shot, the next available spot you can get is most like Cumbres Pass/Windy Point. There are PLENTY of views of the railroad all along the highway. It's almost a tough decision to figure out where NOT to shoot. Truly a stellar piece of railroad.

ok. thanks for the info
Is this really a four day trip to Colorado? Where do you sleep and eat? How does this work, seems like it'd be a nightmare.

Hey! It was a lovely trip. I stayed at a hotel in Chama, NM, and there are several places to eat. No shortage of food an accommodations.
