Cumbres and Toltec: 2018

[@slufoot733]

Some of the finest railroad videography I have ever seen!

[@ATSFSuperChief]

Decent cameras, in shape legs, nice research combined with your great skills make for a very enjoyable video. Rode it three times from Antonito to Chama in the Parlor Cars with a large group that filled the entire car plus more in the next car forward. 😀🤠

[@Ruggedrails]

The real deal not just the Big Diehl absolutely the best video I have seen of this Railway

Thank you very much!

[@Thomas_Kneib]

A truly fantastic video of the C&TS. Love the composition of the shots. Even though the light was not in your favor, in some cases, you made it spectacular. Thanks for your efforts.

[@DRGW492]

This was a few months after i was last there but now five years later I am going back in June 2025 to film the k-36 since I didn’t have a phone in 2018 and I will also go to Durango to film the k-28s and 493.

[@RollingEasy]

Trying to work out just how many degrees apart are the pistons? One stroke against the other in other words? I'm going to guess about 170 deg.....

[@Душевныйприют]

Как же это красиво! Я обожаю поезда!

[@JetSetDiva]

Beautiful video! What camera and mic setup did you shoot this on?

[@maxwellsteam5810]

sounds like a crosby or Lunkenheimer 3 chime on the "#483" lol

[@RollingEasy]

What is the country out that way? Is it all open range? I never see any fences.

[@WestOkieRailroadVideos]

You definitely have an eye for composition. These shots are captivating! Major props on the timelapse you used to open the show. Did you use a motorized slider to get the slow crawl of the camera in that?

[@gonebamboo4116]

Pretty cool

[@Blacklab412294]

I like watching the oilers above the steam chest.

[@nicholasmedovich3949]

hope they will add more steam to their roster soon

[@fuscoproductions]

Yeah, it's a shame they only have 5 operating locomotives. ;-) 6 when the 168 is ready... +315 occasionally. Crazy!

[@TucsonBillD]

@@fuscoproductions Not so bad... daily operations usually require 2 or 3 locomotives... one runs to Antonito, one returns to Chama, and a spare, which can be also utilized as a helper up Cumbres. It can then also undergo running repairs if necessary. And, of course, every locomotive requires a boiler wash out every month, which ties it up for a day, unless repairs are also called for. Four locomotives gives them a spare in the event of a breakdown. The K-27 gives them extra insurance, and more flexibility if required. And the 315 is generally not used for daily ops.

[@fuscoproductions]

@@TucsonBillD I was being sarcastic to Nicholas' comment about them NEEDING more locomotives. They don't. But it's awesome that they continue to restore locomotives and allow guest locomotives (315) to run there.

[@VirtualWoodshed]

Incredible footage and camera work! Would you mind sharing the details of your camera rig?

[@lexigotha8262]

Nice video

[@robertrockwell7581]

a picture lovers dream with all those steam trains in the yard.

[@sanjursan]

Wonderful visuals, but your curious habit of cutting scenes in the midst of a whistle signal make it very confusing for young railfans to learn rail operations, and for fans of the signals to hear how this engineer executes his signals. Please rethink your editing.

[@Big_Diehl]

This is not an educational video.

[@twinray27]

Anybody else cringe, when the dump-loader was dragging its blade across the load ?

[@TucsonBillD]

Not really. The operator drags the blade across the load to level it out in the tender, saving the fireman some additional work when he's already busy firing up the 4%.
