Watching now, and loving this; for me it's actually Sunday night coffee and trains!

[@Railfandepot]

Sunday morning, Sunday night... or Wednesday afternoon! It's all good. :-) -DeAnn

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

I've got several videos of this line, throughout history. The civils are just mind-bending, and the way the loco's were used was innovative, to say the least! They certainly made the most of what they had!

[@Med0sproductions]

post those videos please!!

[@Railfandepot]

Yes, getting through the Rockies was not an easy jaunt! -DeAnn

[@RenoRailfan]

Coffee and trains the best. I wish I could see a rio grand train at least once

[@amadigidigaula771]

I’ve only just discovered this channel - it’s fantastic. The Rio Grande was an early favorite of mine as a child in the 80s.

[@Railfandepot]

Thank you so much for the note! And, thank you for watching! Yes, the D&RGW is a favorite for a lot of people! :-) -DeAnn

[@oldclip70]

I remember this when Pentrex played this a Winter Rail in Stockton in 1987. Always been a favorite of mine.

[@Railfandepot]

Yep, this is really a good show.Lots of muscle! -DeAnn

[@MartinMazur]

The Rio Grande has always been one of my favorites, ever since seeing my first ones here in Kansas City in the mid 80s.

[@Railfandepot]

I've always thought the D&RGW had one of the best overall paint schemes - and advertising too. Thanks for watching! -DeAnn

[@3RTracing]

Nice to see all that EMD

[@Railfandepot]

Agreed! Thanks for watching! -DeAnn

[@jefflichtsinn5510]

Always fun to see those unique tunnel motors in action ... as well as the always hotter than my coffee DeAnn. Great video.

[@Railfandepot]

You flatter me, Jeff. But, I'll take it! :-) Thanks for watching! -DeAnn

[@milehighkit4725]

Taken that route many times on the old ski train.

[@Railfandepot]

What a great ride...and with skiing too! -DeAnn

[@griffinpurdy479]

Good video as always. Here in Ohio on the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad, some of the locomotives are former Rio Grande, a few of which are still in their original paint scheme. The Wheeling and Lake Erie has also adopted the same paint scheme as the Rio Grande.

[@Railfandepot]

The W&LE does a great job with the D&RGW speed lettering! Thanks for watching! -DeAnn

[@jonnymoka]

I grew up near Phoenix and used to see the Rio grande locos along side with Santa Fe when I was a child going north out of Glendale.

[@Railfandepot]

Thank for sharing! With me, it was Muskegon, Michigan and the Grand Trunk. -DeAnn

[@atreyuprincipalh4043]

Another wonderful Video, Happy Sunday..God Bless❤️

[@Railfandepot]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching! Merry Christmas! -DeAnn

Bob, that is very nice of you to say. Thank you so much! -DeAnn

[@Eddy63]

DeAnn and 1 of my favorite beverages ... Enough said ... Lol ... Good vid DeAnn...

[@Railfandepot]

Eddy, that is so nice of you! Sorry my reply is so late...there is just so much to do at this time of year. So, thanks for watching and Merry Christmas! -DeAnn

[@ogjk]

We want a DeAnn Q&A!!

[@Railfandepot]

I was afraid someone would say that. It may happen some day. It may not look like it, at least that is what I've been told, but I am a bit scared of off-the-cuff stuff. I'm always afraid I'll forget my name! :-) -DeAnn

[@anthonyvillarreal323]

Good morning Deann the video brings back memories for engines that go through my home town back in the 70s and 80s everyone have a blessed Sunday

[@Railfandepot]

Thank you, Anthony. Merry Christmas! -DeAnn

[@Railfandepot]

It's always great action with "The Action Road!" Thanks for watching! -DeAnn

[@Trollemharder]

used to see a lot of Rio Grande here in the Bay area when SP still ruled the rails

[@Railfandepot]

Yep...a couple of powerhouses now fallen flags. At least we still have video! Thanks for watching! -DeAnn

[@Med0sproductions]

4:50 seeing rio grande 5411 shoving hard in notch 8 and disappearing into moffat tunnel is like a cocaine rush 💨

[@Railfandepot]

I don't know about cocaine... :-) ...but,m yes, it is a railfan rush! -DeAnn

[@paducahandlouisvillerailro1694]

I have an old DRG Railroad spike it’s from 1950

[@Railfandepot]

That's a great momento. Spikes do the unsung work of keeping everything together! :-) -DeAnn

[@theoldbayrailfan]

Great video can you try to do something on the Genesee and Wyoming please plz

[@Railfandepot]

The G&W have a lot of shorts to pick from!! I'll ask Tim to see what we have. Thanks! -DeAnn

[@dannyholt105]

I'm off work today! I get to have my coffee and trains while it's still hot this morning DeAnn! I loved seeing the D&RG today. Maybe one day I will get to go through the Moffat Tunnel myself. Likely on an Amtrak for sure. Lol! Did you see my Sunday video this morning DeAnn? Stay safe out there! Cheers, Danny

[@Railfandepot]

The CZ through the Rockies is on my Bucket List!! Thanks, Danny. -DeAnn (Merry Christmas...sorry this reply is so late!!)

[@jeffreygosselin1143]

I really liked the D&RGW livery. Too bad they merged.

[@Railfandepot]

Yes, the D&RGW always had great advertising and paint schemes. Thanks for watching! -DeAnn

[@RenoRailfan]

Hey I have a question. Could you do a V&T railroad in Virginia City and Carson City. I would love to see some of my home town stuff on your channel

[@Railfandepot]

On my list! :-) -DeAnn

[@alcopower5710]

The BN locos steal the show

I live near the Arizona Eastern line.

[@ThePete352]

Love seeing videos of my favorite road, D&RGW. I enjoy watching all of them but the Rio Grande hits home.

[@Railfandepot]

The "Grande" always looked good, and had such a scenic route too.Thanks for watching. -DeAnn

[@jamesalvinhollatz1511]

Well ,you do have some interesting vids , places I have never been to , and back then, I traveled almost all of the usa, including alaska, never made it to the islands though, of course back then I was not a rail fan such as I am now.!. You can check out our vids at chehalis wa. Seattle's rail fans in the Seattle subs , like yours 2 thumbs up .

[@Railfandepot]

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, maybe as we get older (not that I am older!), we have more time to railfan! :-) -DeAm

[@waynehawkins2157]

Im old school but love to see ATSF and DRGW more.

[@Railfandepot]

Agreed. And both excellent paint schemes too. Thanks for watching (and subbing!). -DeAnn
