Cabride on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad 602: Feat. Nathan K5H!

Riding in the CRRX 602 on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad along the old Tennessee Pass! This was the 4pm departure which was the Santa Express run, meaning we only went to the hanging bridge and back, which I kinda found out the hard way. The 602 is one of the 3 ex Escalante Western SD40-3s that the RGR purchased last year, and was painted in a special Christmas paint to show the Santa Express. It also has a sweet sounding Nathan K5H horn which I did get to blow at 04:57 and 14:58. The engineer also let me rev up the locomotive a little while we were stopped.
Thanks for watching!
