Seeing 2 wood burning 1875 engines double heading, pulling a train of early coaches, is a real treat, not to be duplicated anytime soon. Thanks so much for the time you put in to make the video.

​@@zebrashark23 No they don't, what's with the US wanting to seemingly convert every single remaining locomotive to oil? Europe doesn't have that problem, there are not enough steam trains left in the US for coal to make any impact on the environement, and wood is CO2 neutral anyway, fire risk is managable as well.

@@slome815 1: The US is vast, and coal is becoming harder and harder to source. More and more now the mines that make good steam coal are far from steam operations, massively increasing the cost of the fuel. 2: Oil is cheap 3: The risk from fires brings the threat of huge insurance costs and litigation and pressure from the public sector. That's the reason why the D&S is going to oil burning after a fire two years ago, that's how they're managing the fire risk.

They would be great in a modern Western set in the early 1870's

love seeing all of them they have so much historey.

It looks just like the old photos of the Old West era. Aslo, Eureka is beautifuly preserved.

It is great to see a Sleeping Car running in Colorado for the first time in more that a century!

Awesome video, enjoyed watching 👍👍👍

Wonderful! Especially love the wood burners doing their thing.

This has to be simply the most beautiful railroad video I have ever seen. Died and gone to heaven? Just glorious. Thank you, all of you, very much!

Real locomotives with a hart beat Thanks

A spectacular video of these great steam locomotives 🎥🙏🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂👍👍👍💖

Beautiful both the wood burners and the coal burners side by side brothers in arms just heard about the Reno steam locomotive has been saved and is going to be restored

What a tremendous treat! I feel like I was transported back in time watching this. Just fantastic!

So many westerns filmed on these tracks. Reminds me of the old cowboy movies.

Beautiful! I hope C&T keeps doing events like this!

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Railroad video with me .

hi.greetings from england.great video.Eureka looks wonderful,jts great to see a wild west loco again, only used to see them in films,John Wayne and Randolph Scott would be most impressed with these locos.pity we do not have them here in england, i think the General is also a preserved loco,

There's a game railroads online for the PC that has eureka in it lol

Man, 7:15 is the money shot. Beautiful work.

We rode the Cumbres & Toltec RR back in August of 1999. But I thought it was out of Chama, NM? We sat in an open car with bench seats. Good thing we brought our jackets as it got real "cool" up on the mountains.This is a fantastic video! Cheers from Syracuse, NY! Bob

I know these locomotives are the real thing but they remind me of my days working for Six Flags St. Louis in the 1990s, as I got trained to drive their replica loco as a back up engineer from time to time that was made to look like on of these old 1870s locos. Did they need to double head those two steam locos, or was it that they had two of them on hand, so they ran both of them? I have no clue as to the horsepower of one of those old steam locos.

The locos come from two different owners. Eureka comes from Las Vegas from a private owner and the Glenbrook is from the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City. Only recently was the Glenbrook returned to operation in 2015

In all honesty with the grade coming out of Antonio, I doubt it. That being said even if it could they wanted to double head them because it looked cool

I am surprised that neither the Union Pacific railroad or the museums with the general or Texas got in on this it would be a good pr boost for everyone involved but I could understand the up because 4014 is still on tour but the rest I am surprised by because there is usually the general or Texas or both at these types of events

He's correct. Also i dont think either engine runs anymore. The last Texas restoration was for display. Even the William Mason hasn't run in years, and it was fully repainted just for display.

Some pretty clean stacks for wood burners, compared to the two coal burners. Hats off to those firemen…
