Gathering of Victorian Locomotives - Part One, Preview

[@billtimmons7071]

The growling sound of a classic mustang climbing a mountain road and seeing wood burning locomotives made my day. Your channel is a blessing.

[@scootosan]

Nice video of a rolling museum. The worker that realized he went into the frame.... was a nice personal touch of reality.... and I agree good to have people in the video which is a part of history. Thanks for the take along....

[@bernardc2553]

For the Love of God & Country We all are so blessed & thankful to these Stewarts of our American Railroad History, living breathing STEAM ,and a special "Thank you" Dale & Karen for another fabulous show!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks!! Wow! Yes. These people are saving our heritage.

[@ronalddwyer6592]

You are now in one of my favorite places here in Colorado. Being a native and still living here in Colorado we have so many historic places that we love to go sight seeing. I can remember the first tourist train on the Cumbers and Toltec railroad in 1970. I was the youngest kid in our train club. I can remember riding trains when I was younger then that with my family would travel across country and when my dad was station in Germany. My grandfather worked on the Colorado Midland railroad. Any steam locomotives are my favorite. Older the better. Be safe and see you on Tuesday.👍🚂👍👍👍👍

[@valeriebassett3107]

Amazing video. You two are wonderful for doing what you do!! What a blessing both of you are! Keep safe and healthy! God bless both of you. ❣️

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks! This was really a great trip and what an amazing event!

[@johnreynolds4974]

Having known someone who was a fireman on the Cumbres and Toltec and also someone who once worked on the Mount Washington Cog Railway when it was all steam and coal burning -- Shoveling coal into the firebox is hard work and a skill as well. As I recall, he said that he shoveled about four tons between Chama and the wye at Cumbres. That was 1972 or 1974 if I remember. As to burning oil, that is also a learned skill to keep a clean stack - My father was a marine radio operator and he remembered a captain who kept a very close eye for even the slightest wisp of smoke -- If there was any sign of smoke at all he would call down to the engine room and say that all the efficiency was going up the stack!

[@kenshores9900]

Really great video. Lots of great pics. Thanks like visiting Colorado even if it is virtually.

[@johnd8892]

Always good to see really old locomotives that have survived and have been restored to working order. For me living in the Australian state of Victoria, the term Victorian Locomotives has the connotation of just a local locomotive. Likely the same in other states of Australia. Our current oldest operating Victorian Victorian locomotives is the 1888 vintage Y112. Unfortunately our two Rogers 4-4-0 locomotives were scrapped by 1910. All on broad guage of 1600mm. KZbin and Google searches for Victorian locomotives usually show up the local Victorian Railways engines.

[@IndustrialParrot2816]

huh i have the opposite problem since i am always hunting for extinct classes of victorian railways locomotive but i keep getting GNR stirling singles LNWR locos and GWR brunel gauge locomotives

[@johngilson3500]

Wow!!! So totally awesome!!! ❤🚂🚃🚃🚃❤

[@williamhoward2731]

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome railroad video with me .

[@PanzerDave]

You have a rough life! Thank you for bring us along on your adventures!

[@sundevil0271]

As always, your videos are fabulous! Thanks for sharing and thanks for all you do! Travel safe and enjoy the ride!

[@robertweldon7909]

Wow, what a wonderful event. One of my, nearly, life long bucket list things is to ride this railroad. Sadly that can't happen now. This gathering would make my dream even more exciting. Thanks for sharing this with us, I can't wait for part 2. ;-)

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi. I’ll tell ya, it’s hard. At Camp Hale, where the tenth mountain trained in WW 2, our first getting out of the car at 10,000 feet, OMG! Didn’t realize how bad it hits you until we got out of the car. Swimming head. The reason Earl was running #4 was Dan had to leave before the event. His heart just can’t do it anymore.

[@Benjamin0119]

Wow AWESOME video guys. I'm so glad you were able to make it to this event to share it with all of us. I love these old timey engines. And this is the perfect place for them too! Beautiful, undeveloped countryside, and all the buildings and facilities are old or look old. The only thing that wakes you up and makes you realize these scenes aren't from some 140 years ago are a few modern vehicles parked here and there. And those old passenger cars are beautiful too. The box cars and tank car were neat as well. Thanks for this and can't wait for the rest of the videos in the series!

[@craft-o-matic2377]

Loved it guys, and Colorado is so beautiful!

[@huskerhank6231]

Don't forget New Mexico!

[@stevemellin5806]

Looking forward to the next show . what a great time . Have a great week

[@ToyManTelevision]

We really rushed to get this one up. Still organizing footage. We shot so much stuff!

[@garyslentzii2796]

What a romantic and scenic place to see. I wish I could tag along. You guys go to the coolest places. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@stephenrick6672]

A great video. My favorite will always be steam 👍👍👍!

[@stephensfarms7165]

What a wonderful video of the trains, a job well done. Thanks 🙏

[@terencemcclammy294]

Hard to imagine the work that went in to restoring these. A real treat seeing them!

[@robertrussell2166]

Nice to see the Shelby out again. You should do an episode on your Shelbys.

[@robertobrien3879]

Love these old beautiful trains

[@rrelectric5159]

Super nice. Thanks for going out there and sharing your videos. Some day I hope to get there for this event.

[@garyacker7388]

Thank you for another interesting fun trip guys. Have fun and be safe.

[@tgmccoy1556]

The setting with the thunder heads over the hills looks like a greeting card..

[@ToyManTelevision]

The amazing thing was watching the storms build up below us! Then as they came toward the mountains the rose up above the mountains and really became impressive. But looking off toward the horizon we were looking over the top of the storm.

[@tgmccoy1556]

@@ToyManTelevision Been surrounded by build ups as they develop. One monsoon season out of Ft.Huachuca we were first above then Waaay below as this monster cell blew through the tropopause... No time to whistle the theme to "the High and the Mighty."

[@krissfemmpaws1029]

This is so interesting, seeing restored trains that are working and not just sitting. Hearing and smelling as well as seeing a small bit of history is something most don't forget anytime soon. An example I remember the sights, sounds and smells from being in the engine room of an old wooden cargo ship 54 years ago. That is great you are sharing your video content with each other, it makes for better content for all involved.

[@jimkammerer8028]

AWESOME GOOD VIDEO THANK YOU BOTH FOR SHARING THIS WITH YOUR SUBSCRIBERS I ENJOYED THE SCENERY AND THE BEAUTIFUL LOCOMOTIVES I APPRECIATE YOU BOTH NICE TO TAKE OUT THE MUSTANG FOR A RIDE . SEE YOU SOON ON YOUR NEXT AWESOME ADVENTURE. JIM KAMMERER OF PHILADELPHIA PA.

[@patmaufrais1043]

Well captured, Mr Toy Man!!!! I enjoyed viewing this video!!!

[@fanatichighdesertrailroader]

What a fantastic time you had. Waiting for more.

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

Wow very cool video i have 10 years before i can retire and have road trips like this 😪but until then thank you for sharing your adventure with us 👍🏻👍🏻

[@pjasyl]

Narrow gauge steam operation much more interesting then standard gauge1 What a great gathering of locomotives in one location! Totally agree with you on the passenger rollingstock restorations. I remember your video when the two cars were taken apart. You made my day showing showing the RPO car! ! With all the forest fires recently oil conversion was necessary. Less risk of sparks setting fire to trees, & vegetation.

[@ThatBIGTRAINGuy]

I've been crying the past couple of weeks. Sat here in the UK, I've never felt further away from my most favourite place in the World. Such an amazing event!

[@JonsGarage89]

When you mentioned Earl was running the Eureka last week, I knew there was something awesome coming. This is fantastic!

[@salletosnscalerailroad2688]

Wow, beautiful scenery, beautiful locomotives, great video. It brought tears to my eyes. I WANNA GO THERE!

[@bernardogrobeisenweingersz9768]

Wow , beautiful engines , also what an awesome music too , congratulations

[@RonsTrainsNThings]

I was in Golden at the CRRM the day #20 pulled out headed to Cripple Creek on its way south to this event. Got great photos of it loaded up and it's tender still in the round house.

[@maccustoms2295]

Can't wait that looks awesome there. Thanks for sharing and taking us along. Great footage at the end . Have a great week guys.

[@steamfan]

Wow. This certainly was the event of the year. I hope they do it again as I was unable to attend this year. I had several friends in attendance and to say I am envious is an understatement!

[@HowardR-gy2pw]

Wonderful set of locos. If I ever get to the US I'll put on the list of must see places.

[@sparky107107]

that would be quite the undertaking trucking the steamers in. coal does burn so much better than oil, the smell is one thing but the smoke just looks so much belter as well. what a great back drop for some of those photos and videos. and the sky , wow

[@gregsmith1719]

Great video, Dale! Really shows off your photographic and artistic talents! This is one of your best! Love those old steamers!

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Beautiful locomotives. Thanks for sharing.

[@kcsthebetterway]

It was a great experience to see some many classes of narrow gage locomotives in one place!!

[@samfuller6273]

Again great music! I love Colorado. Stuck in San Bernardino/ Los Angeles area.....but I live in the mountains at least!

[@TheDeJureTour]

New Mexico.

[@robertlucido3686]

That looks awesome, I sorta wish something like this could happen at the Huckleberry Railroad, it would be a neat thing to have on their railfans weekend, also about how the Glenbrook and the Eureka were both built in 1875, one of the Huckleberry Railroad's oldest passenger coach also dates from 1875, it's only seen on their railfans weekend during their shop tours, because they don't use it on the train, when you check out Huckleberry Railroad's railfans weekend you'll sorta see why

[@royreynolds108]

That would be the Kimble car, No. 8. Except for brakes and draft gear, it was restored in 1983. There are not many Kimble built cars left. Cars 306 & 320 were the ones used on the Antonito to Santa Fe line until that line was abandoned. Car 260 was built new by the D&RG for the Rio Grande Southern at the Burnham Shops and put on reused trucks so it is the only new passenger car the RGS ever had. I worked at the Huckleberry from April 1979 to October 1983 as the track foreman and helped in the shop. I have a lot of pictures of that time. I was there when the US Gypsum diesel came and when 464 came.

[@timsolomon688]

Loved this weeks show

[@hamiltonsullivan6563]

Man I'd never think I'd see two 1870's locomotives chained together!!!

[@KandRCustomModels]

You guys get to enjoy a lot of historic railroading in your area! Thanks for sharing!

[@cowboyvalley]

Thanks you two!!! The only thing better than old steam locomotives are the mountains themselves!!! I just got back from a bucket list trip with my best friend to Silverton and driving the Alpine Loop....Claude

[@TonyLasagna]

the guy who crossed your shot behind a tender-less #20 i believe is max, who was one of the gentlemen who restored #168. He also runs and fires trains. (He’s on Carlos LLamas’ instagram all the time). Thanks for sharing! Sad i had to miss this.

[@tomas5376]

Thanks ever so much! Looking forward to the upcoming videos. Love these old steam engines🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

[@gmmeier321]

How neat! What a great gathering.

[@HenrikSweden1]

Nice work with that camera ! almost like being there and enjoying this smoky show. Thanks !

[@jonheller2307]

Wonderful coverage. Wish I could have been there.

[@saltleywsc]

Great event thank you so much for sharing looking forward to the next instalment!

[@Loc0motive]

Awesome video TMT! Some amazing shots! Looking forward to the next vids.

[@iangerahty3422]

That’s some fine Iron Horse flesh.

[@larryarcher4502]

Wow that was a really special, Thank you both That made my day!

[@slanderedstone]

i may not have gotten the chance to get up here, even though i live three hours away, but at least i can watch your stuff

[@leonidassavalas745]

I like like the music, and appropriate (steam sounds) silence.

[@StubProductions]

Fantastic video. Thank you!!

[@ConsolidatedPBY]

And another spectacular video from you guys. I imagine the locomotives were trucked in, then hoisted off the semi trailers with a crane???

[@lescobrandon3047]

Wow! Wow wow wow. Your best video.

[@crookedbird6589]

Makes me wish we could be out there again. love the west.

[@wmjwell]

Hi Dale & Karyn. Wow, impressive collection of iron horses. I need to come and see it in person. Hopefully next year. Is there a website or newsletter for next year? I have often wondered how double headed steam engineers coordinated their efforts. Thanks for the wonderful information and video. Looking forward to part 2. Take care.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Every year they have some sort of event here. This one was incredibly unique! Google the friends of the cumbers and Toltec. They are the ones who put these events on. This one was I think they’re most impressive, sold out almost 2 years ago because it was supposed to happen last year, but with Covid and everything….

[@daviddryden8088]

"Old locomotives are better than most people". ~D. Dryden

[@izziejones942]

My brother and dad were there they said they had a blast ! They got to meet toyman and get a picture by his car. You can actually see them in this video.

[@ethanarmitage5611]

Cool train video.

[@Mike-tg7dj]

O give me a home where the buffaloes roam....Very beautiful scenery, I love when y'all go out to cover events like this or when y'all go up to Wyoming where ths wind is always seems to be blowing. At the 9:45 mark where they are making up the consist is that a GE 50 ton switcher pushing the cars I to place? They fascinate me because of their time in service. I really like the EMD SW1500, SW9, 1200, MP15s any locomotive with an open face. Some of these switchers look like old steam locomotives.

[@royreynolds108]

You would really like the US Gypsum HK Porter C-C that is on the D-S now. It was built in 1946 with spoked wheels and tires(36") with a 6-cylinder Cooper-Bessemer diesel for power and an end cab similar to a SW1200 and weighs 75 tons.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Fabulous video.

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

You're so right when you said "there's nothing more photogenic than a steam locomotive". Although I'm a staunch traction guy, I find it hard to admit that fact...but its true. Steam locos ARE indeed beautiful. They're very much alive, too! You take GREAT photography, Dale! This episode features many great shots of the victorian locos surrounded by gorgeous scenery. But, I really like these two closeup shots, 10:30 and 16:40. Keep up the excellent work! By the way, I didn't hear Karyn's signature phrase: "stinking cute"! What happened?! I think these victorian steam Locos are certainly stinking cute. 😁

[@TRAINBUILDER]

Great video guys! My buddy was running the mogul that day 😃

[@bigwoz78]

Man I wish I could have been there. An employee of the Durango and Silverton told me just 2 weeks ago they were converting their steam engines to diesel fuel.

[@1800clyde]

What a crazy cool event . . . such a great gathering of locomotives and rolling stock. Re: oil-fired locomotives: Roaring Camp in CA burns anything carbon based. Interestingly enough old ink was profferred at one time to get the shays chugging up the mountain. It worked just fine.

[@generost5435]

The siding is possibly a spot to park a hand cart while a train passes.

[@simonalexandercritchley439]

Wow.what a fabulous gathering of locomotives,people and scenery.Looking forward to more of this. Here is a question: Do steam locos loose power at altitude like combustion engines?

[@robertdavies5501]

Thank you for your efforts , that footage has filled in a void down here in Australia as the covid 19 has us in lockdown.....love it 👍👍👍👌❤️❤️

[@billkline0320]

Another fantastic video You could sell still s what beautiful pics.

[@jrowe9301]

I wish we had a heads up this event was coming because it will never be the same again. Perhaps you mentioned it but many of us get busy. It seems like there would be less liability and back strain if the loader would hold the bucket of firewood next to the top of the tender so they could grab most of the pieces without much work.

[@kellandbailey2970]

Great video as I've come to expect from you guys. Can you cite the artist and song info from the closing music? Great job.

[@johnjornod6429]

Once again you provide us all with the most beautiful and fun filled video. I love your rainbow and twilight shots. Truly exceptional! I get to go to these events because of you but I wondered how you get to know about these train events. Short of stumbling upon it on the Cumbers & Toltec site. Is there someplace else to find these in advance so I could go in person?

[@Rebel9668]

Nice! I also wear my mask when I go to the landfill here as it seems to cut down on the stink, lol. There's one early locomotive they run occasionally east of me over in Baltimore called the William Mason originally built in 1856. It's not allowed to pull coaches though as I think it either has to do with it's link system or it's braking system...or maybe both. Though they have run it by itself. I'd love to visit there but don't think my lungs could manage it. Ten years ago I had a severe case of pneumonia and after a month and a half in hospital I had to be on oxygen for a year. Now, I can breathe fine down here 87 feet above sea level but don't know how my lungs would react to being that high up out there.

[@farmerdave7965]

More fun than humans should be allowed !

[@mattomon1045]

i loved it thank you

[@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226]

So if I am not mistaken this is a 3 foot line and I would assume that they can use old cooking oil for fuel considering that the steam engine is the original flex fuel engine 😁

[@adamburnes3655]

It is.

[@SouthernKansasRailfan]

I would've paid a thousand dollars to be there but life goes on...

[@timothykeinard8085]

GOOD VIDEO

[@jimmyhook4852]

Toy Man, did you by any chance partook in that finale event of the Victorian Iron Horse Roundup, aka.... riding the C&TS at night from Chama all the way to Antonito? :)

[@robertd.shannon9007]

Notice that it is labelled as being property of US Govt. This is because the US War Dept needed RGS for war effort. Great detail.

[@jacobramsey7624]

How many RGS locomotives survive to this day?

[@brianfalzon6739]

That’s epic!

[@britainluver431]

If they used another ten wheeler for Back to the Future III they could've used 168 since timewise it would make sense because it was built in 1883.

[@inconsistentuserdata]

5:49 Brett? Hyce?????

[@johnd8892]

Victorian Locomotives in Victoria and one of just two that were labelled Victoria Railways on the tender : kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2Wcf3efZ52CjZI Built by Rogers in 1877. Scrapped in 1907 unfortunately. Broad gauge 5ft 3in or 1600mm.

[@tylergreen4843]

Just wondering, is Rio grande southern 20 and rio grande 318 too big to run at tweetsie in North Carolina? And aren't the rio grande narrow gauge locomotives the same gauge as the ones at dollywood, tweetsie and walt Disney world?

[@ToyManTelevision]

All 3 foot gauge. Should work.

[@caseyvillemodelrailroad3877]

Havnt seen that much steam in one place scince we were in Cuba at the Varadro steam train park...

[@jameskinglion]

you need to visit the Grand Canyon when they are running 4960

[@painter662]

Where was this at? And question two, where do you find out about these events?

[@tylergreen4843]

Also did you notice 168's bell sounds like the ones on the walt Disney world railroad?

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hum.. good point

[@antoniovelasquez87velasque9]
