Steam in Colombia - Bogotá 2015

[@nathancorcoran5347]

Cool video of these Colombian Steam Locomotives (All built from my home country United States of America) in operation at this railroad over in Colombia.

[@victorhernandez9468]

En 1960 siendo yo un adolecente, viajavamos de Bogota Chiquinquira. Da nostalgia ver que todavia estos trenes funcionan y nos llenan de bellos recuerdos que no volveran.

[@petermicenko4582]

I just happened on this video clip. This has done more in 10 minutes to promote Columbia positively than anything else. Congratulations and thanks to those of "Turistren" who have restored, maintained and run this enterprise. The engines and trains look lovely and clean and not gaudy. Love the smoke effects arranged for the run past photographers and some sequences that show the black smoke was not common and had to be achieved by driver shutting off steam. I have never considerred ever visiting Columbia (due to bad press and image) but will certainly be looking to put this train journey on my bucket list.

[@mekato15]

Peter Micenko it's Colombia, not Columbia

[@joselassalle5906]

Columbia is the capital of the state of South Carolina USA.

Bella nota queda para el recuerdo de los venerables trenes que una vez impulsaron el desarrollo del hombre..excelente mantenimiento..felicitaciones por el vídeo..

hermosas imágenes gracias por compartir parte de mi hermoso país

[@loarles]

Simplemente hermoso, muy bien conservados, una presentación excelente.

ALL THE STUFF ON YOU TUBE THIS IS THE THE BEST!!

[@7822welshsteam]

I'm off there in October for a job but I'm obsessed with steam trains and there aren't many in Colombia. I would love to see this railway.

[@KochersbergTV]

+William Roberts (“7822WelshSteam”) Normally there is a train on Sundays, quite popular with local people. Booking a seat in advance may be a good idea.

[@rogerhuber3133]

Really nice video and some fine looking engines under the Sherwin-Williams Rolling Paint Chips! They must be S-W best customer. The Mike sure has some small drivers. Reminds me of the WP&Y MacArthurs.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Brilliant video! love those locos!

[@WALTHERS14]

Hot Damn these engines are Gorgeous! Even the diesel at the end there was Very well maintained (it's horn looked brand-new).

[@trenesdecolombiaPabloHiguita]

And the diesels are from the 60s

[@deadman89100]

Hermosa maquinas una maravilla que las tengan restauradas y funcionando

[@fabianosilva4520]

Maravilhoso..........Conservação belíssima ,nota 10.

[@thedoeguy]

The beautiful engines and rolling stock are in excellent condition. Bravo!

[@selenecelta3197]

Espero que nunca desaparezca. 💖

[@dapvnacion]

Van hacer el Regiotram del Norte y estas locomotoras quedarán para un museo, debido a que se ampliará la trocha a los estándares actuales.

[@catalinamurillo4372]

La verdad no creo...es a vapor de agua asi que no contamina. El plano del km5 donde tamnien pernoctara el regiotram muestra donde quedará el regio,donde quedará el tren de la sabana y donde quedará el tren de carga. Ademas hace menos de 1 año se habilitó el corredor zipaquirà-Nemocon-Choachí y ya estan llegando alli con turismo,que hacia falta. Por otro lado la vía ferrea que ellos utilizan es la misma que utiliza el tren de carga que viene de Belencito Boyacá hasta Bogotá y esto lo activó la ANI asi que este corredor no se puede eliminar(ademas porque de Belen a Tunja se està habilitando la via para el tren turistico y estudiantil) Entonces lo que va a tener Bogotá son tres sistemas ferroviarios,,,el antiguo que tambien lo tienen Suiza y Rusia para turismo a 25km/h con papayera a bordo,un salon de comidas parando en cada municipio para mostrar las coloniales estaciones y solo los fines de semana. El de carga que transporta cervesa,cemento,hierro,café entre otros que pasa solo 3 dias por semana y el de pasajeros que irá a 80 km/h

[@mikegames9897]

que maravilla este tren en bogota

[@MrFeleru]

Son hermosas, me da nostalgia pensar que es posible que pronto dejen de utilizarse porque se remplazaran con tranvías, pero espero que construyan algún plan para que puedan seguir en uso turístico o por lo menos verlas en un museo. Son muy bellas. Muy buen video, gracias por compartirlo.

[@julianandrescortescontrera5234]

+Felipe Leyva eso de aqui a que pongan el tranvia pasaran otros 30 años

[@jorgerasmoBRASIL]

Es imprescindible para poner fin de inmediato estas locomotoras, también contaminan el medio ambiente ... no necesitamos esto.

QUE BUENO HACER CONOCER AL MUNDO ESTA MUESTRA DE INGENIERIA ANTIGUA

[@user-hq7sr4ky6i]

Muy buen video. Conocí estas locomotoras hace 60 años trabajando a todo vapor! Zaquapira no existe!! Es Zipaquirá!!

[@barryphillips7327]

[@edwinarenas2248]

El papá de todos, podrá existir hoy los trenes bala viajando a más de 500km/h, con todas las comodidades de conectividad a bordo, pero nada cómo estás máquinas, ésto simplemente revolucionó el mundo.

[@thedoeguy]

I used to live in Polo Club (in 1969) and I could see the steam trains pass every day from my bedroom window.

[@williamou417]

I believe that these locomotives were built by Baldwin Locomotives in Philadelphia, USA

[@KochersbergTV]

You are absolutely right. They also have a Belgian locomotive, but at the time it was not serviceable.

[@williamou417]

@@KochersbergTV Baldwin always manufacture good locomotives!

[@diegoalejandrogutierreztor6779]

EL SONIDO ES IMPRESIONANTE

[@papasai1]

Bravo, Claude! Un grand plaisir...

[@steamandrock]

Belles images, il ne reste qu'à repeindre locomotives et voitures pour organiser un authentique train ...

[@KochersbergTV]

+steamandrock Ne crachons pas dans la soupe. Avoir sauvé et remis en état quatre superbes locomotives est déjà un exploit. J'ai vu dans l'atelier une cinquième locomotive en cours de réparation. Elle est peinte en noir (livrée correcte?) Sinon, je me demande si la livrée de la No. 8 n'est pas correcte également.

[@ivatt442]

I enjoy your videos very much,but that's a very bald statement - Definitely not my stuff - makes me wonder why you went in the first place - for me steam is steam & to have four unique narrow gauge steam locomotives parading for you - surely is near to paradise!

[@soumyajitmukherjee1938]

Loved this video

[@jgviajante875]

Parabens pelo belo vídeo.

[@andruzorjas]

con una de estas es con la que debe ir el tren de la sabana...el de los fines de semana. Sacar la de vapor no solo para el tren de navidad y no a todo momento el tren turístico de la sabana con la maquina diesel. Y debería volver como antes yendo hasta Nemocón y no como hasta ahora Zipaquirá.

[@orgcoast5990]

I just found your channel. Remarked well maintained locos. Any idea of their vintage? Small drivers suggest they were freight haulers at one time.

[@KochersbergTV]

If I am not mistaken, these locomotives were built by Baldwin in the 1920's.

[@trenesdecolombiaPabloHiguita]

@@KochersbergTV The 8 is from 1921, the other 4 are from 1947

[@arturopatino8676]

[@hexxoid9263]

He lets off throttle many times during the video.. conservation of recources?

[@trenesdecolombiaPabloHiguita]

No, they let the people disembark from the train to take pictures... so when he lets off the throttle it's because he´s going to stop to let them climb again

[@josecarrico9683]

Linda linda............Louvado seja nosso DEUS

[@vishwajitpawar4076]

Very nice. What is the age of this engine?what maximum speed can be attained by this engine?

[@trenesdecolombiaPabloHiguita]

Aprox 50-50 km/h. And 72, 75, 76, and 85 are from 1947, 8 is from 1920

[@7822welshsteam]

Was that little one a 3-cylinder cross-compound? I never knew that such a thing existed.

[@trenesdecolombiaPabloHiguita]

+William Roberts “7822WelshSteam” it doesn´t.. it´s a problem with one cylinder lol

[@7822welshsteam]

Oh. Ha ha.

[@KaweRoes]

Cool video

[@buijs1967]

nice colours!

[@julianandrescortescontrera5234]

lastima que no hay imágenes de la estación del ferrocarril en mi bello pueblo de gachancipa :(

[@albacastillo5211]

Hojalata prospere la idea de nuestro actual presidente,y de activar el servicio del tren para la carga

[@RailPreserver2K]

Are these preserved engines

[@KochersbergTV]

Yes, definitely. But a purely private undertaking.

[@geoffreykail9129]

What gauge are these trains?

[@KochersbergTV]

Three foot gauge.

[@msu716]

A steam engine with real mechanics, without electricity (except lanterns) and electric motors or diesel electric generators.

[@frozy5637]

In Colombia, there seems to be a tough contest about who is going to get closest to the old puffers, between the aficionados and the bovines. A little risky, perhaps ...?

[@KochersbergTV]

In case of an accident, you can be sure to get fresh steak for dinner. To be noted, on the first part of the video, the train was running on a disused track, such that no one was really expecting us. So we found on the track not only pedestrians, but also cars, cows and sheeps. With a significant delay at the end of the day.

[@romulodamiaotiburso9023]

Belissimo passeio, mas o apito danado

[@jockellis]

Meter gauge? Where were these locomotives built? Look and sound American.

[@KochersbergTV]

Most are Baldwin locomotives. At least one (not depicted on movie) from Belgium but on American design.

[@KochersbergTV]

They are 3 foot gauge = 914 mm

[@unalocomotoraconcuentadeyo5650]

esplendidas locomotoras

[@crystalrock18]

I’m not from Columbia so I don’t why the engineer was laying on the whistle so much. I get it it’s for safety precautions but I think people get that there is a train near by.

[@KochersbergTV]

The train was a charter, running on a disused track, such that for the sake of safety, everyone had to be made aware of it. But apparently it is a normal custom of them to use the whistle a lot..

[@joselassalle5906]

Columbia is the capital of the state of South Carolina USA.

[@crystalrock18]

Sebastián Arboleda on that note let them whistle BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I just love locomotives from all sorts countries. We don’t see many of other foreign types here in America.

[@crystalrock18]

@@bluehelmet314 Thats a shame, you guys have some awesome motive power down there too.

[@crystalrock18]

Sebastián Arboleda hey nothing wrong with Baldwin locomotives, we still run a few here in the US, and the good thing is we have men and women who take great care of them to make sure they will keep running.

[@Rebel9668]

Good Lord, ….and they say US trains blow the whistle too much? LOL!

[@andriiUkraine]

Файно!

[@j8u2]

What is the track gauge?

[@KochersbergTV]

This is a three foot gauge, quite customary in the Americas

[@LuisERios-ke2oi]

Porque tanto ruido con el whistle? This operator is not following the international rules for abusing it and causing noise pollution!!!!

[@trenesdecolombiaPabloHiguita]

Porque es una via abandonada, por ahi no pasan trenes, la gente no esta acostumbrada, se hace por precaución

[@diegoalejandrogutierreztor6779]

ESO ES EN COLOMBIA BOGOTA LA SABANA

[@hexxoid9263]

Those look alot like American loco's..

[@danielyruby8696]

These trains run on narrow gage tracks and operate only from May to November during the tourist season.

[@WhyAyeMann]

surprise! its because they are, mate : ) its amazing that they've lasted this long.

[@williamou417]

They are definitely American locos. There are many American locomotives in Brazil

[@jacobwoods8738]

Brazil actually has the largest number of restored Baldwin locos under one roof, the EFOM locos at São João Del Rei. Most South American and Central American Locos or American or British with a few German ones. These in Colombia are all Baldwins. 8 is the oldest from 1921.

[@jacobwoods8738]

From memory the 4-8-0 used to be a different colour as when I saw it recently I did not recognise it at first. My memory might be failing. Lots of 4-8-0s in narrow gauge used in Colombia and Africa.

[@rogerlollar4325]

BTW my brother's girlfriend is from Columbia

[@raymondleggs5508]

Those coaches look like repurposed trolley cars

[@santiago..262]

contamina rico oye que verguenza y lastima botar ese poco de humo asi wao

[@trenesdecolombiaPabloHiguita]

Se que es dificil de asimilar, pero humo no es igual a contaminación. Es una gran cantidad pero es vapor de agua con cenizas, por eso toma el color.
