Cumbres and Toltec double heading up 4% grade October, 2019

[@mountainmanwannabe9495]

Some people like the sound from the rhythm of the rain. But not many talk about the sound of a steam locomotive rhythm on the rails. This was perfect in that aspect.

[@BNSF1458]

Those little steam trains are SO CUTE! (and awesome)

[@Brian_yeah_that_brian_Strang]

Hey fella

[@Spencer067]

Love the whistles. Love the sound of Steam

[@WierdSpookyDude]

Without a doubt, the BEST Steam locomotive video I have seen on KZbin. The camera work and audio quality is fabulous. I will watch this over and over again. I wish I could take a ride on that Grand Old Train. I would love to be in the last car looking out the back, watching the tracks recede in the distance. Sensational! Marvelous! Love it! THANKS!!!

[@travelingtom923]

Thank you! Check out some of the hundreds of other videos on my channel.

[@jimmybritt9537]

I think I just broke my speakers , best sound ever 😂👍👍🇺🇸

[@tomas5376]

Thanks for this great doubleheader with the spectacular fall colors!?👍✌️😊🙏🏼🚂🚂🚂🚂

[@travelingtom923]

You are welcome.

[@paulwilson4738]

Great scenery throughout, but especially the scene at 11:20 or so!

[@DerekDtj]

As Bob Hope would've said, "thanks for the memories!" We rode both the Durango & Silverton and the Cumbres & Toltec way back in the early 70s, and we still think of your fantastic railroad; one of your brakeman's lanterns still hangs in my train room, a constant reminder of earlier, happier times. A few years later, I got to sit in the cab of the BC Rail's Royal Hudson in N. Vancouver, BC and chat with their engineer. There's nothing quite like a functional steam engine, for sure. Well, guess it's time to play with my O gauge RR layout for a bit. Thanks for the super video.

[@travelingtom923]

You are welcome. I will be posting some future videos including a cab ride in the Royal Hudson as well as footage of the Canadian Pacific #2816.

[@neilbhalodi8797]

i have to say, 489’s beefy 6-chime is truly something else

[@austinyingst5902]

Wow. Great Locations. Double headed, hard working tea kettles. Well patronized passenger train. Now, THAT'S railroading. Great Video. Thanks.

[@travelingtom923]

You are welcome.

[@graemetwycross5487]

A SITE TO BEHOLD, JUST WONDERFUL, THE SOUNDS OF THESE TWO STEAM LOCOMOTIVE,IS MUSIC TO THE EARS.

[@olddogcitypound5859]

That is beautiful like music to my ears.......gotta love it.👍

[@raymondrichter2620]

What a lovely railway

[@robertheinkel6225]

There is something about a steam engine under load, that sounds fantastic.

[@nekomasteryoutube3232]

If anything, any engine or motor under a healthy amount of load sounds interesting. The buses I ride around on in Oshawa, ON end up sounding like locomotives when packed with people going uphill. Its too bad I'll probably never get to see any Steam engines in person as I live too far from any lines that run them (and I doubt CP or CN Rail will run any steam excursions in the near future)

[@frankkearney4532]

Wonderful filming. Magnificent scenery. Two rugged warrior locos. Voices like heroic banshees. Fantastic.

[@halyourpalg2019]

Fantastic Video...the sounds of my childhood and so much more.

[@travelingtom923]

Thank you.

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

It’s been almost 10 years since 489 didn’t have that steel beam plow up front

[@FredCDobbs-mj7hn]

Beautiful country! Excellent video...thank you so much.

[@JackAdamsAkaJohn]

Outstanding video of the next item on my bucket list. Looking to take the optional training offered next year to sit at the throttle of one of those Mikados! A "trainiac's" dream come true! Beautiful scenery BTW!

[@1940limited]

Amazing videography and scenery. The out of sync exhaust of the two locomotives is fantastic.

[@robertnielsen2461]

Been on this trip a few times ,always the same,just a lot of fun.Food at the midpoint stop hits the spot as well.

[@calif2000]

Thank you for posting this. I was on the train that day. Great video.

[@ccsteamer]

Nice sounds, real steampower...

[@danielboone3770]

Super cool double header!!

[@nancysmith9452]

🚑it's hard to believe that just 100 years ago that's the way everyone traveled we've come along way baby!

[@travelingtom923]

And in the early days of railroading you were moving at 10 MPH.

[@pierrelouisfavre2814]

congratulations 4% without rack it is amazing

[@jwrappuhn71]

Fantastic vid, beautiful scenery.

[@LIMowersAndMore]

Awesome video once again Tom. Steam power at its finest.

[@travelingtom923]

Thank you.

[@dieselbossbrandon]

Am i the only one who think both of the locomotives have different personalities? Both dont sound the same whistle or steam sounds but my god both sound AMAZING. my favorite steam locomotives in the world. Anyone got any info on them? Ive loved these type trains since i saw them on the movie America's historic steam locomotives when i was a kid.

[@rixretros]

Great video !!! My goodness, those poor little Mikes must be tired at the end of that grade. I love to see and hear coal-fired engines at work......real steam railroading, IMO.

[@stephensfarms7165]

Awesome video of trains 🚂👍👍

[@johnmcintosh3626]

The best scenic rail by far!

[@TNandTXRailfan]

Hey Traveling tom does The Cumbres and Toltec run one train a day or multiple like durango and silverton?

[@lebronechilds3512]

Anybody know what type of 6 chime whistle that #489 has?

[@neilbhalodi8797]

i don’t know if it’s specific enough but I think it’s an ATSF 6-chime, beyond that not sure

[@jerrysmith1929]

Outstanding video!

[@travelingtom923]

Thank you.

[@allendwebb]

Tremendous! Thank you!

[@travelingtom923]

Thank you.

[@stilz0]

Excellent camera work and positioning. Fantastic views!

[@HinckleyBranchRailfan]

484 is usually behind 489

[@ronmejia4504]

What were those things zipping along behind the train😅?

[@rileysanesh9238]

Is that 487 in the shop

[@sheikmohideen8992]

Beauty queen

[@stephenbob2745]

Great production! Great angles. Really enjoyed it. What do you shoot with?

[@travelingtom923]

Thank you. Canon Vixia HF-G20.

[@Spencer067]

What are the little cabins on top of the tenders?

[@travelingtom923]

That is called 'the doghouse". That is where the brakeman would sit. He could not ride in the cab as he would get in the way of the fireman when he was shoveling coal.

[@amsoiltek]

So how is the power between the 2 units synchronized?

[@charlesgreathouse7376]

By the locomotive engineers that are good at their job.

[@snoebay88]

By whistle signals and having good engineers!

[@trainwatcher411]

lucky people

[@zebrashark23]

Poor 489 :(
