[@StewieGriffin505]

Very nice. Lots of drone footage? This really makes me appreciate the western US. Beautiful!

[@keithneal3253]

Stunning. Thanks for the hours spent in the field capturing this for us all.

[@TheRailfanDan]

Another well done video!! Really spectacular shots!

[@YardLimit]

Beautiful work, Dan!

[@PeteRoss2]

Thank you Dan

[@athanpaulalconcel8449]

If there is a remake/reboot of Under Siege 2, this train would be used. Just saying

[@billmorrison3714]

It’s too bad the two experimental Amtrak F69PHACs were scrapped. They would have been perfect for this train.

Very Amazing Sir 👍 Love From Pakistan ❤️🇵🇰🇺🇸

[@snchilders]

The Thompson Springs Cut is another place where the sharp eye can see the old roadbed in the background. Cool.

[@Riogrande1964]

Gotta ride this train!

[@zulfione]

Unimaginably rather Stunningly Beautiful. The upshot...............Mind Blowing.

[@TheRailfanDan]

[@StevenvonBriesen]

Awesome! Thanks Dan!

[@valeriebassett3107]

Amazing video! You did an excellent job!!!! Your videos remind of John Rust videos. He was my favorite one to watch. Then he took all of his videos off. Keep the videos coming! ❤️🙏

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thanks so much!

[@maquetedoalto]

Your vídeos are the best... Greetings from Brazil ❤

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thank you so much you're too kind!

Did this trip on RM from Denver to Moab and it was amazing. You did a beautiful job showcasing how incredible this experience is. Definitely a unique and bucket list item to do if possible. Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories.

[@TheRailfanDan]

Oh man I bet that was so fun! Thanks a lot I'm glad you enjoyed this.

[@PCBill0622]

This video is a great companion to your previous one on the same area. In your drone shot of the meet with No. 5, the buildings of Cisco are crumbling except for that modern structure along the ROW which is connected to the fiber optic cables. Phil Anschutz originally bought the RG&W not to operate a railroad (although he did do some fun things like re-establishing the Ski Train), he wanted the ROW to run fiber optics. Later on he took control of the Southern Pacific for the same reason.

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thanks Bill and good info!

I enjoyed watching this video of the Rocky Mountaineer running in Utah, Dan! The paint scheme on the engines and the passenger cars looks great. The scenery is beautiful. You were in the right place at the right time to catch the Rocky Mountaineer and the California Zephyr meet. I was not aware that the Rocky Mountaineer ran out of Denver, Colorado toward Moab, Utah. I was under the impression that Rocky Mountaineer ran through the northern Rocky Mountains in Montana.

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thanks a lot Thomas! This was one of the main things I had intended to capture on my trip out there and am happy to have been able to put something 30+ minutes together. Yes very new here for sure and not one many know about yet it seems.

[@lihumatp]

Great! Have seen the train in CAN several time, and have been to Utah as well. Many thanks.

[@timothywinter2412]

Interestingly stunning photography yet again Dan. Enjoying your posts as always from down under in Australia 🇦🇺

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thank you Timothy!

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Nice shot from an incredible part of the country. It looks like a very light train and one locomotive ought to manage. Is the second loco there as an ensurance, in case of...?

[@TheRailfanDan]

Probably correct. Just in case something went wrong I think is the reason for at least two locomotives on most trains.

[@thomasmaughan4798]

Marvelous video. I learned that the Rocky Mountaineer exists! Great use of the cameras. 31:30 unique perspective effects from the telephoto lens.

[@TheRailfanDan]

Glad someone pointed that out! I really like that effect from the telephoto camera there!

[@RonStanek]

With those vista's, they may as well call that train the Rocky Mars-taineer. 😆 Thanks for another good one, Dan.

[@TheRailfanDan]

No kidding! Or the Moon! Thanks Ron.

[@3dcritter]

Seems like the train misses the best scenery of the Cane Creek Branch.

[@TheRailfanDan]

You're right...

[@Zsolti0NYM]

This is indeed a unique video. I only see this train in the VRF grab bags, but here I can enjoy it better. The paint scheme is great on the locomotives. Gold and dark blue works very well together. I'm sure the passengers loves the trip. The scenery is spectacular and I'm sure the cars are comfortable and well equipped. Looks like this area doesn't see too much rain. Everything is dry and dusty. Awesome footage as always Dan, thanks a lot for the special experience.

[@TheRailfanDan]

Thank you Z glad you enjoyed! I was pretty stoked to capture this. It was one of my main goals of that trip.

[@oldguysride5699]

Just curious, are you or do you film in sport mode? Great drone work!

[@TheRailfanDan]

Yes! I am probably in Sport mode 98% of the time! Thanks so much!

[@oldguysride5699]

I have an Air 3 and am getting used to it. I saw that train in Moab two years ago. Again, great footage. I really enjoy your videos.

[@O-PAC]

The Rocky Mountaineer is finally a modern passenger train that interests me. Good looking train in some great western scenery.
