Durango & Silverton: Doubleheader Service to Silverton

[@markhopkins5801]

We took the ride back in July, 1985 and we still talk about how great this was ! I plan to get the family back there again some day . What a wonderful experience !

[@SmokyMtnSteam]

Truly spectacular, you've really captured that perfect combination of hard working steam and stunning wilderness that entrances people so deeply with the Colorado narrow gauge. The extra effort to hike in for those shots above Rockwood is especially appreciated. I know the constraints placed on the D&SNG this year must be a huge headache for the management & crews but it has certainly led to an amazing show along the Animas.

[@BlueCometProductions]

Thank you! I try my best to please!

2:55 That SP sixer 😍

That D&RGW 3 Chime on 473 sounds beautiful!

[@VincesArtDesigns]

Ok so I’ve watched this video three times in one day. This video is just outstanding! What a thing of art thank you!

[@Mad_Waffle_4449]

I loved the video I hope to get to the Durango & Silverton some day and the clips withe the K28 and K36 doubleheading where my favorites

[@chendersonrailproductions704]

I think so far this is your best video yet! I only hope to someday make it to the Railroad. Can't wait to see your videos from the trip.

[@BlueCometProductions]

There’s plenty more for sure

I LOVE STEAM ENGINES AS WELL AS HILL VIEWS. THANK YOU!

Best video of this season I've seen and one of the best of the D&S overall. Well done dude

[@BlueCometProductions]

Thanks!

Excellent trip, thanks for the ride.

[@sissyberkieberkheimer3387]

Just love the sound of this train everytime i hear it...Music to my ears..

[@firegrateproductions]

Fantastic video! This is easily one of the best videos I've seen showcasing D&S operations. Very well done!

[@BlueCometProductions]

Thank you!

Amazing work, Chad! The amount of variety in this video is spectacular. Keep up the great work!

[@BlueCometProductions]

Thamk Ymou!

This has the best Whistle of all of them Especially in the Mountains! It's all the same Engine but in different land scapes it sounds unbelievably different.

[@duanedrouillard2495]

Awesome. Thanks

[@Buynot]

Your videos are always so incredibly atmospheric and I love it! Around this time next week I'll be in Colorado myself, chasing both the D&S and the C&TS. I can't wait to experience it for myself!

[@BlueCometProductions]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy yourself!

One of the beste Videos about Durango & Silverton. I want to come from Germany for the Spot at 13:55 min. Google said it's private property? So how can i go their without fear? Along the Track? Through the Threes?

[@AirchimeLTDproductions174]

Incredible video Chad!!! The D&SNGRR is on my bucket list to film!! :)

[@BlueCometProductions]

Thank you! It was on my bucket list as well!

[@Godzilla691138MW3]

Beautiful steam locomotives, I ought to go there and ride their train. I always wanted to go back then.

[@keeperofsteamstudios6654]

Excellent video! Those doubleheader’s looked amazing!

[@TheBigBananaRailfan]

Beautiful footage! And a fantastic selection of locations too! After all, D&RGW narrow gauge steam is top of the (high!) line if you ask me! I don't know if its the mountain vistas, the rushing rivers or the great shows put on by the locomotives, it creates a relaxing yet thrilling environment, making for a truly world class railroad! This ones definitely a new favorite of mine!

[@BlueCometProductions]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@LeonardoQuintana]

Really Really fantastic... 😍😍👌😉

[@brianfalzon6739]

Well done! That’s epic!

[@atsfevan0242]

Gonna be visiting this railroad myself next month with my aunt and uncle and just watching this is making me more and more hyped about my visit since I’ve never been to Colorado and this tourist line has been on my bucket list for many years now.

Nice

The best video

[@jbr496]

I've never seen the logistics involved in the Silverton turnaround for a long doubleheader train. I'm curious how they do it since the siding is not long enough for the whole train.

[@BlueCometProductions]

It can fit one engine and 15 cars

[@HoboJoe-tr1tm]

Great Video!

That SP 6 chime on 480 sounds amazing

[@VincesArtDesigns]

I LOVE that whistle! Is that a 6 chime? 3:25 engine 480

[@JamesU56]

Yep! It’s an SP 6 chime

No.18 was built in 1911, which is insane

[@VincesArtDesigns]

My dream is to ride this train!

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

42:22 6 chime sounds almost like the 6 chime 497 wore back in 1991

[@Steamfan1]

Why do they keep changing the whistles on the steam locos? I like the frisco whistle the 480 used to have

[@Steamfan1]

Also when are they gonna go back to steam only operations and when does the 486 return to service?

[@aj.2004]

@@Steamfan1 steam-only operations are out of the question. The railroad runs diesels now if there’s a fire risk. That’s just how it’s been since the 416 fire

[@kjfenterprises9618]

You should do a video all about 493!

[@BlueCometProductions]

I’ll get right on it

[@shanehargrave3598]

I see it was uploaded on 7-7. what day did you guys actually shoot it. 6-29?

[@VincesArtDesigns]

In the description it says June 21st to 23rd he shot.

And now all of those beautiful engines were converted to stinkers (oil fired ones) No real steam, no ride.
