Thank you so much for making these Big Train Tours! They are really useful and I learn a lot about Colorado Railroads from them!

Thank you for tuning in and watching!

My friends John Hill and Dave Straight, may they rest in peace, would be thrilled to see the tank from Sundown and Western. They helped out there from time to time. Glad to see these restored and back up and running!

That was very informative and interesting. We were down there in September to ride the Durango and Silverton and the Cumbres and Toltec. Already itching to get back to visit your museum.

We have a robust operating schedule in 2023 - Saturday rides year-round, steam operations, Goose departures, Thomas the Tank Engine and the Polar Express!

Very interesting. Since seeing the Conoco and Gramps tank cars in large scale, I have been most curious about them. Thank you for the history. Most grateful!

Hello! Time for a Big Train Tour!

Awesome video!!! I shared you video with my father-in-law who worked at UTLX.

[@akaBoG]

That is cool - thanks for sharing it!

Great video. They have one in Ogden Utah at the Museum. There used to be one at 600 North in Salt Lake City taken off the wheels. U.P.R.R. had it on a concrete foundation and I believe it stored used Oil. It was accross the tracks from the old May foundry.

[@akaBoG]

Thanks for giving it a watch!

Why this video is within such a small box on my screen?

[@akaBoG]
