That Galloping Goose was very interesting! My favorite part of this video was the steam train ride!

I just watched this again Tom, lovely work and great use of light and perfect colour matching. Do you shoot in manual exposure? If not the camera is doing a great job. Cheers Gregg.

[@YardLimit]

I always shoot in auto mode. The only time I ever change something is to change the focus from auto to manual so it won't go out of focus if I"m shooting against a monochrome sky, or smoke from steam engines will sometimes make the camera go out of focus. I do up the saturation slightly in post processing but that's about it.

@@YardLimit Ok Tom , the camera does a good job for auto! I always shoot in manual so I get the results I am after , but the default setting on yours is very good . Cheers Gregg.

Awesome trains amid breathtaking scenery. You used both to great advantage and made a video that is as enjoyable to watch as it is to listen to. Soon to retire to New Mexico so can't wait to see this in person. Thank you Tom.

Thank you, Paul! Visits to Chama and also Durango, CO are well worth your time. Congratulations on your retirement!

You make some of the best Train videos on KZbin in my opinion! Great job, Tom!

[@YardLimit]

Wow, thank you very much, Parker!

[@FishplateFilms]

Lovely work Sir! Nice to put a face to the name, though your voice is about 10 yrs younger..LOL. Very good narration and camera work . Every corner is a top shooting location it seems up there, spectacular scenery only bettered by classic steam! Cheers Gregg.

[@YardLimit]

Thank you for the kind words. I was inspired by a couple guys who are pilots and have fantastic youtube channels. The good thing about going back to a location is that you learn more about the light and different places to and ways to shoot. It never gets boring.

[@FishplateFilms]

Very true, which is why I'm coming back to the States next year! Gregg .

[@MPT_Productions]

Spectacular video as usual Tom!! It’s just like opening day with 484 leading and 487 trailing

[@YardLimit]

Thank you!

Awesome Video! The Goose is such a unique machine! I love it!

[@YardLimit]

Thanks! It was my first time seeing one in operation.

So having 7 Galloping Geese means they had a gaggle of these railcars, they should build some more.

[@YardLimit]

A gaggle of galloping geese!

[@royreynolds108]

I believe that two of them were built for maintenance use and are still in existence.

[@YardLimit]

Of the seven "geese", only #1 does not survive, though a replica was built in 2000 for the Ridgway Railroad Museum. The other six are located as follows: Geese #2, #6, and #7 are preserved at the Colorado Railroad Museum and are operational.Goose #3 was sold to Knott's Berry Farm and is operated regularly during off-season periods when park attendance is low.Goose #4 was on static display in Telluride, Colorado. It was restored to operation in Ridgway, Colorado, as of June 2012. With the restoration of Goose #4, all of the Geese are now operable.Goose #4 was moved back to Telluride on May 2013.[3]Goose #5 was bought by the city of Dolores, Colorado. After restoration in 1998 it is now operated from time to time on the Cumbres and Toltec and Durango and Silverton tourist railroads, as well as at the Colorado Railroad Museum.
