100 Years of America' Most Photographed Steam Locomotives (The Second Part): Durango and Silverton

Photo charters oe not, the big K’s are still doing the revenue up in the mountains in the same place where they’ve always done it. Narrow gauge here in the West is very much alive. Thanks again for your fantastic camera work sir.

Nothing beats the beauty of these mountains and the railroad in them, amazing footage

A fantastic video about the Durango and Silverton narrow gauge railroad and the K 28 series steam locomotives. These locomotives stand out because of their distinctive boiler front with the air pump built in front of it. And they were built by American Locomotive Works. A great idea to dedicate a video to this type of locomotive. Thanks for showing and best wishes from Germany.

What's interesting is that there was a Rocky Mountain Railroad Club charter that did travel through these very rails during 1960s. During that trip they actually did use the cars from the Silverton branch and traveled from Alamosa all the way down to I believe Durango. There's actually a footage of this trip over the now Cumbres and Toltec Railroad shot from one of the men who was chasing the train at the time.
