What a great job in creating this realism!

I have an e-clip off the bnsf transcon they are big and heavy spring steel

Ngl, I came up with my own fantasy railroad in the US, being called the PSFS (Pensacola & Santa Fe Southern) without knowing this railroad existed. The PSFS would have a fleet of F7 passenger and freight locomotives, E6 Passenger Locomotives, ES44DC Freight and (Fantasy) Passenger Locomotives, SD70ACe Yard Locomotives, GP38-2 Yard Locomotives, AlCo PA1 Locomotives, and even some (Fantasy) reproduction Baldwin Sharknose Locomotives. The line would have a passenger route from Barstow, CA to Pensacola, FL while sharing freight lines on the same route with transfer yards in San Diego, CA and Mobile, AL. Three major yards would include Barstow, CA, Pearl, MS, and Pensacola, FL. There would be subdivision off the mainline. But I discovered this railroad 8 months after coming up with it.

Hello Thomas, a beautiful Christmas train, thank you for sharing. Unfortunately, things don't always go so peacefully. Yesterday evening, December 20th, 2024, at the Christmas market in Magdeburg, a scene where a person drove into people with his car and so far five people have lost their lives and 200 have been injured, some seriously. I don't know what goes on in such people's minds. I wish you a peaceful and contemplative Christmas. Best wishes, Wolfgang

Awesome. Merry Christmas🎄

Szép videó!😀👍 Merry Christmas!🎄

🐉 🚂 🎅 Nice video, Merry Christmas!

Santa Fe locomotive 2926 is handsome and spectacular example of steam power, I am eager to see this engine operate in excursion service as the 2926 hasn't had a serious long distance mainline run in about 70 years.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Seeing amtrak go into emergency is pretty rare

Hello Thomas, a very nice Christmas train on the Cumbres and Toltec narrow gauge railway. Beautiful shots of the train and the landscape. Thank you very much for the video and have a nice pre-Christmas week. Best wishes from Germany Wolfgang

nice share new friend

Awesome video! I have to say, I love the wreath around the headlight especially, it really gives 489 some extra Christmas spirit. Also, I see 492 is next to 483, any new updates on the restoration?

Awesome, it was great to watch. Amazing scenery and fantastic sound. Beautiful pictures.

Nice video! Winter along that line looks so beautiful, I wish they ran more this time of year.

Thanks again Thomas, another great video. I love the coal trains better. Love the double header too, lots of black smoke. ❤️❤️

Good morning Thomas. Another right video of #489. I guess #489 got fixed on the fuel oil. Thanks again, I’ll be watching for next year’s videos. 👍👍👍

Thanks enjoyed the video of the Christmas Train. Great photography work. 👍👍👍👍

Hello Thomas, a great freight train with stock wagons and open freight wagons and the steam locomotive as a pusher. Brilliantly filmed, thank you for the great video of my favorite railway line, the Cumbres and Toltec narrow gauge railway. I wish you and your family a wonderful pre-Christmas period and happy holidays. Best wishes, Wolfgang

Rest in peace 161 Youll forever be remembered

Awesome, amazing sound and wonderful surroundings.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Great video, Thanks for sharing, I need to get back there and ride the train,

That was a great video in a modern day of Diesel locomotives hauling steel cars! The sound of steam whistles echoing in the woods was SOOoo soothing!! It reminded me of when I was working on a Steam Train museum in Western Washington!!!

It's definitely an unbelievable train videography 👍 Greetings from India 🇮🇳

Wunderschöne Aufnahmen 👍👍🇩🇪👼🫶🙏

😎

Wow

Sounds kind of like Soo Line 1003 there!

I wonder what was the last COMMERCIAL freight load was in those reefers and to who and where?

I rode the C&T the week before on the last week of passenger operations. Man if I'd known this was running .... but would already be back in the UK. Cant beat this route and was happy with the recordings that I managed

Magnificent and scenic video!! Like 102, new sub from Spain 👀👀

Fantastic compilation!!

Crazy amount of slippage near Lobato! Awesome to see that long reefer in a consist as well, it's such a unique car for the narrow gauge.

Hello Thomas, A beautiful video of a photo freight train on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. I love this railroad with its great steam locomotives. Thank you for the fantastic video and have a nice first Advent.✨ Best wishes from Germany. Wolfgang

Szép videó!👍😀

!Good video, like!

Rode it from Charma to the end with my daughter back in 1987

My advice to all shooters : AVOID LERRO PHOTOSHOOTS . Too pricey , too many period fake actors and zero planning on his team . Did the East Broad Top charter last fall and it was a total joke . Who is in charge of this circus ?!

how much doe$ it co$t to do $omething like thi$? thank$.

Awesome. That was amazing to see.

Wow!! So beautiful! The lucky folks riding in those rear three passengers cars ... on my 'to-do" bucket list. Thank you for sharing this.

What were they hauling? 2 refers for what? Where did they pick up the passenger cars with people in them? And why so many empty gondolas? What were they going to pick-up? Plus, where do they get their coal? I know that they converted their 🚂 locomotives to oil but they would still use coal to heat their stoves in the shop and caboose!! I would like to have a more detailed show, please!!!

I love steam locomotives! ❤❤Great video that I thoroughly enjoyed!!! Thank you ❤

Hello Thomas, an interesting railway line and a great story about this DRG-W railway. Very nicely filmed and a great explanation. Thanks for the video and have a nice Thanksgiving Day. Best regards, Wolfgang

Unfortunately p42 161 caught fire last night in Washington DC and was burned beyond repair and is being retired i dont know if we will get another phase one painted p42

Great to hear that there [could be?] life in the old line yet. Agree 100% with Co DoT re: using it as an insurance against potential catastrophic closure of the "main line".

I have lived in Colorado since 1975 and have visited Tennesee Pass dozens of times. First of all your video work is outstanding especially with the drones, I also found your commentary to be informative but I think that the chances of reopening TP to be zero. Besides the huge cost of rebuilding the line from the sub ballast up there will be a huge political uproar about reopening the line. Buena Vista and Salida will not be happy about the prospect of heavy tank car trains, explosive or not, rumbling through their tourist towns. Maybe the Moffat Line may have been operating at capacity at one time but with the demise of Western Colorado and Eastern Utah coal the number of trains has sharply decreased. Two passenger trains, two UP locals and two BNSF trackage rights trains are about all that one can count on. If there is capacity problems on their respective main lines and if the train is low priority like rail or empty tank cars maybe the UP or BNSF will send a train or two over the DRGW (RIP) and maybe not. If you want a simidepressing experience camp close to the tracks for a day or two. Empty tracks in beautiful country. I think the chances of reopening Tennessee Pass is about equal to reopening the South Park Alpine tunnel RIP. In the meantime I can enjoy your video.
