Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, Diesel Train 9/14/2024

Very cool man! I want to take the trip on this train some day. Maybe after I retire I could volunteer as a conductor or even train as an engineer. I drove an F7 when I was about 5 years old. My uncle worked for Southern Railroad in Atlanta. He always bored everyone to death at family gatherings. I, of course, prompted him to tell more and more stories. I will never forget my favorite Uncle Paul Holt. God bless him. Thanks for listening. Cheers, Danny

That's great your Uncle Paul let you drive that Southern F7 and would tell you fun stories about the railroad. Hopefully you and Sarah can come out this way and see the Durango and Silverton! I hope you and Sarah stay safe from Milton 😱🙀🚂

[@atjoe1972]

I think Johnny Cash would approve that song for this train. I was surprised to see an MLW product deep in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Thanks for checking out the video. 🚂👍😎

Glad those birds flew away!! That was an awesome video @atjoe1972🚂🚂

Thanks for checking out the video👍😎 The birds were entertaining while I waited for the trains. They were after an old box of bagels on the other side of the tracks. 🐦

@@atjoe1972 You’re welcome!!! I bet the birds loved that!!

[@atjoe1972]

@@jacobpoohsmother The bagels looked pretty hard. The Crows could barely get pieces from them. The Magpies didn’t stand a chance 😱

[@jacobpoohsmother]
