Very well put together.
To bad someone or business doesn't try to reconnect all of the narrow gage track together ! Would make a fantastic trip, even if you had to change train !
Odd you included a video of a European locomotive in the mix. Good information though.
This scene could be licensed for manufacturing for HO scale railroaders who who eagerly set this up in their ply room or cellar or where ever they've created a rail system.
There is much anecdotal history of Colorado railroading in a book titled Little Engines and Big Men by Gilbert Lathrop. There are some hilarious stories about the South Park as well as some tragic ones. Worth finding for anyone who loves railroad history, particularly Colorado history.
The employees at McDonalds are so lazy that they won't fix a fresh fish sandwich. Our McDonalds location is also dirty,

I like the dog
Love it! Thanks for doing this presentation. Very informative (SP is the place I would love to live for the rest of my life. There’s something about the place…)
Thanks for watching! 😀
I think it's funny how much the gold is searched for. The location of the Reynolds gold was passed down verbally and they placed it in different places... but it's not in Nebraska 😂. I know this because I am a Reynolds. You can't get to the gold because of the dangerous territory from the snakes... but we know where it is and how it's marked. The map is a clue, but it is coded and in a different state 😂
I worked for Vern long ago. I wonder if he is still alive. I moved to Arizona after I worked with him and his kids. I drove by the old house of his, but didn't know on the door near Fairplay. I honestly wonder if he is still alive
There will be a patrol car with cop mannequin awaiting your slow down through town.
I'll be there! Can't wait!
Looks like a great train simulator, can't wait for launch

Well done video. Thanks for the work that has been done to provide this!
Thank you Mark, appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Oh no, they killed Kenny!
Great video on the Snowstorm Dredge, thanks!
That's a engineering marvel.
Hope it is within the realm of possibility for you guys to re-establish a tourist line to Boreas Pass and return. Great video.

We took the tracks because the people never wanted to pay for the train service. They had horses. Stop crying. Pay your bill. We might just come get your water pipes next. You have wells. Pay your bill.

The railroad was owned by the Colorado and Southern Ry. which was a subsidiary of the Chicago Burlington & Quincy RR. It wasn't a big political conglomerate.
Also, nobody took the tracks with them. They sold the rail for scrap value during liquidation of the C&S narrow gauge.
Back in that era, it was true that sometimes locomotive engineers would have their own unique whistles but what was more common was the way they blew the whistles. It was called "Quilling"
A great video displaying the variety of scenery in South Park.
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not they did back in 1954.
Thank you for this wonderful presentation showcasing the rich heritage of the South Park.
Thank you for this video. It serves as an inspiration to us all about community service and how each of us can contribute to the common good.
This summer will our family’s 4th trip to Glen-Isle since we discovered the magic a few years ago. It has become our spirit place in the summer. Mary Ruth, Greg, and Brenda have brought us in to the Glen-Isle family. We eagerly look forward to our stays there, and miss them all terribly when we have to go back home.
You killed Kenny
I was surprised at the number of abandoned railbeds I saw when I was in Colorado Springs and the Broadmore Pikes Peak area.
Fascinating! Thanks for this wonderful trip back in time.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Why would they the donate the land so they next generation can be homeless this sounds fraudulent
oh thank god i was sorry worryed for a momment that was about that mean cartoon southpark for a second
Well, this railway exists in the TV show
I wonder did Vern ever get his cattle back?
I don’t remember if the KZread channel Toy Man Television has recorded a video of your operation but if he did it could bring more attention to you and get more money coming in.
Thank You
4:54 I´ve never seen a roundhouse made of stone. It´s all brick here in germany.
This is such a beautiful place !! I love all of the Indian artifacts and several other things they have decorated with. I love the staircase and I'm sure there's so much more that I haven't seen. I live southeast of America. It's a little far for me to travel that far right now, but if I ever get the chance to visit I would love that. Ya'll have done a beautiful job keeping it up. 👍❤
Stay there ,then check out the Bigfoot museum in Bailey. Beautiful scenery.
2 towns I know that had tracks removed by the C&S in the 30s
Are black people welcomed in Lake George, Colorado?
Of course you are
very nicely done
Thank you Joyce, glad you enjoyed it!
Alma is the highest city in the USA lol
I thought it was Leadville?
I subsist on railroad history, and have studied the DSP&P RR from one end to the other...including Alpine Tunnel and Ohio Pass. I appreciate the work being done in Como to celebrate its history. (one caveat: the photo of the train in front of an "ice house (tall wood structure)" is a Colorado Midland train. The CMRR was a standard gauge (4'8 1/2") railroad that occasionally showed up in the South Park (but not on narrow gauge track!). Keep up the excellent work!
