The Moffat Road Part 2 | Winter Park to Glenwood Springs

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Originally released on DVD in 2013, take a tour of Union Pacific's Moffat Tunnel Subdivision in Colorado between the west portal of the 6.2 mile-long Moffat Tunnel at Winter Park and Glenwood Springs. Coal trains dominate the scene with plenty of high horsepower diesels on the head-end, middle, and rear. Travel through the depths of Gore Canyon to the lofty heights of the Craig Branch. See why the Rio Grande called this the "scenic line of the world."

    Wow words can't describe how amazing how much footage you and your team has captured back in 2012. Its hard to believe that this was eleven years ago. The scenery is just breath taking & never gets old. Outstanding job and keep up with the hard work.

    I rode this route in both directions on the California Zephyr, westbound in late summer and again eastbound around Thanksgiving a few years later. The pace is leisurely, the scenery magnificent. And I'd do it again. Wonderful video.

    Glad you made it to Crater. I lived in Steamboat and mostly stuck to between P burg and Craig based on whether or not a train was going my way. Made a couple of pilgrimages to Crater, not much traffic but did score, unforgettable. Biggest regret is not sneaking on at Pburg and riding over Toponas into Bond, get eyes on THAT.

    Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job/detailed train 🚂 map. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Noticed graffiti on both box and tanker cars. Perhaps the artists are seeing 👀their creations -?😲😲. Jimmy Rogers the " Singing Break Men "was a genuine break men. Till changing careers to a singing entertainer 🎸🎶 ( 1926 thru 1933 ) most memorable song " Break Man's Blues ".😭. Enjoying this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room.

Near the beginning of your video you make a comment that Winter Park CO is the highest incorporated city in the USA. Having just been to Leadville CO, they claim to be Looking up the stats: Leadville is 10,157’ Winter Park is 9121’

    I’m glad the SP AC4400s are still plying home rails, though I do have to say they’re definitely showing their age. Those yellow tumors keep showing up on the nose and cab. It’s a shame…they really need get that looked at. I hear It’s a pretty aggressive cancer that, if not treated, ends up covering the entire locomotive.

    Although a great video, I cant imagine covering this part of the MOFFAT road without filming the CRAIG branch. The original line. What a loss. And still active. No amtrack though so I guess no film is warranted. Pretty lame. David Moffat would be disappointed. ☹
