All kidding aside, this video was shot looking out the rear window of an Amtrak train and then the video is shown in reverse here. This video was NOT filmed in the locomotive cab as the title states. Just an outright lie.

Wow, great video! Would have loved to seen this when it was still active. Glad you had the opportunity. What the engineer mentioned about crews that hate their jobs and not understanding why anyone would take a picture of a train, sad but true, there are many employees like that. But if you want to work in something boring, they should go into a office, I don't think many want to photo offices.

It seems it wears your patience thin after 40 years of it yea ingot sick of it . Trainmasters either breathing down your neck or hiding in the bushes looking for a reason to fire you. I wouldn't have a damn job where I had to lay down and hide in a damn brier patch.

It's really sad to know that the Tennesse Pass line has now passed into history. It would be awesome to see it reopen as an excursion route!
@damaskes.2849 2 жыл бұрын
Need to reopen the line from Minturn all the way into Malta (near Leadville) for Excrursion and why not go all out and use steam locomotives for the old time feel. Sure there will be needed adjustements for steam but i feel its worth it. Was Born in Leadville and lived there till 94, really hate seeing the line sitting unused and i really hope it does not become a bike trail like the rail that went though Leadville.

@@damaskes.2849 I would actually love to see the line run from Salida, through Buenie, and Leadville up over the top and down into Minturn. To me it's some of the most beautiful country we have in Colorado, unless it's the Roaring Fork Valley, especially the Fryingpan where I was born and spent my childhood. I too would love to see it made a steam line, as you know it's what it originally was. They have to replace the track anyway soòoo.

This an excellent cab ride video. Thank you so much for sharing this. I worked the helper power out of Minturn in 1994-1995 as an LKO. I don’t recognize the the engineer on this train (probably because he’s from Denver) but he constantly “pops the air” going up the hill, which is very annoying, and serves no purpose. I miss working this mountain very much, it taught me so much about mountain railroading. Skills I use to this day, as Engineer out of SLC.
