- This was one fantastic train ride! The historic Royal Gorge Route Railroad that travels along side the Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge. We opted for the Vista Dome car and included breakfast with our tickets. It was great! Sit back and relax, drink coffee, have some breakfast and enjoy the wonderful views of the river and canon walls.
The depot is located in Canon City.
In life having a great partner is a dream come true. I realize that now at 65 y.o. You two seem to really enjoy each other's company and have fun in your adventures. My ex and I just came back from Durango, Colorado where we rode the Durango to Silverton Steam engine train. I enjoy watching your videos a lot. keep them coming.
You guys make me want to travel. I love how happy to be alive you two are!
Hey Abom79 and Abbey! Thanks for sharing this vid of your awesome train ride adventure! The footage of the gorge was truly amazing! I especially enjoy when Abbey gets excited! Ride ride ride!
As a life long train enthusiast, I enjoy watching you two having a good time on trains.
Late to the table, again. Love the train ride. Love to watch the excitement, especially Abby. Thanks for inviting us.
Trains have special rules - you can drink at any time, and it's fine! What a lovely trip.
Unless you are an employee then it is Rule G. NO BOOZE!
I was in the Army stationed at Ft. Carson CO in 1969 and 1970. Some fellow GI's and I drove to Canon City CO and hiked into the Royal Gorge, all the way to the hanging bridge. We were all railfans and were hoping to catch some railroad action, but no such luck. Hard for me to believe I had the energy to hike that far and back, but it was 50 years ago. I get tired just thinking about taking hikes these days.
Abby I did that everyday when I worked as an engineer for them. glad that you enjoyed the ride. Next time get the cab ride you can get the birds eye view .
Well that's probably the best review of that train ever done. Their business will probably double...
Thank you! 👍🏻
thank yall for posting this we traveled there when I was in high school but would not drive across bridge cause it was so windy that day swaying too much for Mom....I almost fell off into the Gorge on Colorado side...
lol slid and grabbed bush on way down and it held...
That was fantastic guys, thank you so much 👏👏👏👍🇬🇧🍺🍺
Thanks so much for sharing your vacation.
Theese videos just make me happy!
Thank You for sharing your wonderful train ride! We paddled the Arkansas river in whitewater canoes!
Wow!!!!! Everything is so beautiful!!! Loving your videos!!! Thanks for sharing you vacation with us!!!!
Love the train ride. I also like the vlog style of videos for the trip. Thanks so much for taking us with you!
Thanks. I’m enjoying making this style of video. Simpler and faster to edit.
🇳🇱NL/Just before your video there was an episode of big jim videos of the same railway but with an old steam train so your movie connected nicely with this thanks and lots of fun greetings from the Netherlands (Europe)👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀❤️
Next time i'm in the States I will make an effort to go there.. Looks great and I love Colorado.
Got our tickets for Sunday, we can't wait.
Your videos are making me smile too much, and it lasts all day... thanks...
What a great comment to read! 😁
Awesome, thanks for sharing your ride through the gorge. Love Abby's excitement.
Good morning thank y’all for this awesome amazing review!! Some friends and I are planning a trip definitely going on out to do list
Thanks for the great vid's you guys know how to have fun .
Great to see you two out enjoying your trip so much.
You don’t have to justify when you guys want to drink a beer 🍻. You are grown adults and can drink whenever you want. Love you guys. Stay safe.
Besides the train ride and beautiful scenery and history, the commentary was fantastic. Just makes anyone want to take a trip. Thanks to the tremendous hosts 😎😬👍💚💕
Doing this in Oct. Can't wait. And I really want to try the flight.
We are also going to Zipline across.
I envy 60 degrees with a cup of coffee. You guys have the right idea. Enjoy
Glad to see your having a good time, great video. looking forward to your next adventures.
My sister-in-law and her family are in that area. This was one of the neatest places we visited while there. The old wooden water main is crazy neat.
Okay, that was just freaking awesome!!!
Thank you for the ride! 👍🏻👍🏻
What a amazing train ride. Wish you some beautiful days. Best wishes from Jan in Norway
Glad they have this opened again after that horrible wildfire. Truly Awesome place. Glad the bridge wasn't damaged.
It's on my list of stuff to do. Thanks for sharing your experience. I LOVE your sticker collection and your map. It's a little public diary of your travels.
Gorgeous looks amazing wish I was there with my wife 🤩 . Glad you and Abby are having a great time.
That is a great outing, thanks for sharing.
Glad to see enjoying the journey.
Kind regards,
Duncan

thank you.. its so beautiful
Really enjoyed your video! Absolutely beautiful scenery!
Super excited, we are visiting Colorado in August; definitely on my bucket list.
Loved the train ride seems to be the best part of the trip
An awesome trip. Thank you for an informative review. In April 1967,hubby finished his Air Force commitment. On our way back East,we stopped at the Royal Gorge. At that time,I remember the suspension bridge and the tram ride to the base to the river. I think that was the extent of it. I remember the wind was blowing and temperature being cool. I’d love to go back but it’s probably impossible. Thank you folks for allowing us to tag along. We appreciate you both.
Thank you two for a great tour. bill in Florida
Thanks for the vid!! Place looks amazing!!😍
Glad you guys made this a destination. 6 people per domecar... jives well for those that are "done peopling". LOL.
Hope you're going to film the Tunnel Drive hike, looks awesome! Have fun!
We. Really didn’t have to to visit the tunnel drive but wanted to.
Very cool video, love the train ride with you guys wow.
THIS ROYAL GORGE IS AMAZING. NEVER KNEW THERE WAS SUCH A PLACE. AND THE TRAIN RIDE WAS GREAT. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE YOU GUYS, BE SAFE OK
Wow that train is amazing , thanks for sharing I literally live 2ish hours away , Iv been there to the bridge but never took the train Its going to happen now with out a doubt, that is the most beautiful train and scenery iv ever seen
I love this video!
Wow nice keep them coming 😁
What a treat thankyou I felt as though i was with you xx
Amazing!
Great job on the videos! That actually did the bridge justice, showing how high it is. ....loved it!,. You two stay safe out there, and hope you took warm clothes, because weather is coming.
Glad you liked the vid. Yes we packed for winter as well.
Thank you for visiting my home. Glad you enjoyed yourself. The cider is locally pressed. The train food is wonderful
Very nice video of a very beautiful place.
Nice!! That bridge looks high from down below....and you could see light through its decking.... :-) Scary.... :-)
I think it would be awesome to go on the Christmas train maybe a good destination for the holidays thank you enjoyed the video
The Polar Express??
Hi guys! Looks like you are having another great day. My girlfriend and I subscribed to you a few weeks ago and having been watching your videos. We go out there at least once a year and are heading out there on the 13th of this month. I'm glad to see things are open. You are really helping us get familiar with the rules or there with the covid. Thank you. I was glad to hear you say you were going on the Skyline drive. It's a really nice road, a little narrow here n there. Lol
The train is great! Especially with some beers! I hope you guys have a great time out there! Stay safe!
Man that looked like fun.
Thanks for the trip
Excellent video, and I see no reason to have to apologize for a beer in the morning your on vacation you are suppose to enjoy yourselves......isn’t that what a vacation is all about? Looks like I need to do that and the Durango train and get them off my bucket list. Thank you folks for the video and information
A*A*A, Awesome Adam Abby Adventure cool train ride, great content, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
me husband and i are going in two weeks.. i bought the first class tickets.. i’m so excited we’re both train operators in chicago.. i love your video
My 14-year-old son wants to do this I'm going to send this video over to him now he knows about your guys's channel and that I follow you but he doesn't know you're doing this so if you see him comment give him a big thumbs up I wouldn't mind doing this myself... Looks awesome also just a heads up guys keep an eye on the weather it's supposed to drop off and they're supposed to get like 12 in of snow in Colorado at the base of the New Mexico mountains Tuesday or Wednesday I think 🙄
One of the best train rides I ever took was the Royal Gorge dinner train. It was cool to watch the sunset, and then travel back to the station at night.
Damn you held that coffee up and I realised I wasn’t going to get any until I finish this video!
So do the whitewater next time? 😎Rafting is a ton of fun.
The Grand Canyon has an awesome train also.
My grandfather used to run steam engines on that line. He and my grandmother were married in Canon City.
Very cool 👍🏻
Your train journey was amazing. I also want to travel this train but I am a citizen of a poor country so it is not possible for me. ❤️❤️🇧🇩
I like the way Abby bounces with excitement.
I'm going to Denver in 2 weeks ... I'm debating on experiencing this! The scenery is everything 😊😊😊
It's definitely worth it!
@@AbomAdventures ok, thanks! 😏
Different because shows the dome dining car with food, drinks. Not very many people. Lots of rafters. Stopped train on the ‘hanging bridge’ at 15:00. Thanks for sharing.
Great adventure. I remember my first time on the train, thet told us that you go up in elevation n they way back is gravity. Hope you get to ride the cog railway to the summit to Pikes Peak. I miss colorado. Thanks for taking me back.
Cog railway is closed. Rebuilding it and a new visitor center at the top.
@@AbomAdventures Thanks as always for all you share with everyone. You both stay safe, and always watching for your next video.
so jealous :)
Observation: Abby has a fantastic collection of hats. Carry on.
Been there several times, in the past, but never took the train ride. Went over the bridge.
I so miss Colo. Sorry I moved to Ca. So much to do there, and I did most. To bad the economy couldn't keep me there back then.
Great video guys! I have lived within 45 minutes of this location my entire life and have never taken the ride. I'm going to have to put it on my list of things to do. Did you know that there was an actual war over who had the right to build the line through the gorge? Both D&RGW and Santa Fe railroads wanted it. Do a search for the Royal Gorge War to see more. See you next time.
Great to see you kids so relaxed. These adventures are very enjoyable tho the beer tasting requires a bit of imagination. In another comment I wondered whether you were going to check out the ‘dragonman’ in Colorado Springs because he is a machinist and has quite the shop, museum and gun store, seemingly a tourist attraction. Take care.
I’m not familiar with him although I’ve had a lot of people mention his channel. No plans to stop there.
Back in the day, the Skyline Drive was two lanes.
A couple of Brew Birds.
:)
I went on the Royal Gorge Train ride very nice, good lunch but it's a short trip. Travels up the rail fast but comes down very slow to give you a two hour ride otherwise the adventure would be over to quickly. Canon City is pretty run down city. The suspension bridge is very pricey considering all you do is walk over it and back for $60 bucks per person
Now you get to try the Cumbres and Toltec RR
Hope we have time to get to that train as well
Cool Train. - Always amazed how a small world we live in sometimes. You're wearing your St. George shirt, here I am halfway across the country (Louisville, Ky.), and the Wife and I are getting ready to spend two weeks in that area (very old, small house rental which is naturally social distanced on Ochlocoknee Bay, just down the road), next week. Does anyone know how bad the Virus is in that area, it's really rural so I'm hoping there's not a problem with that.
It’s not bad there. You can look up the cases by country. The rural areas usually consist of cases being from tourists.
@@AbomAdventures , they don't have to worry about that from me. Since March 10th, I've only been beyond the perimeter of my yard 6 times, and those times were either Dr.'s visits or other medical procedures (and went straight home afterward), and they made me wait in the parking lot till they were ready for me, called, went into an empty waiting room wearing all appropriate gear with a high dollar bottle of sanitizer used liberally. I "B" taking no chances. Have been making the stock holders of Amazon Richer.
Hope you get an opportunity to ride the Durango-Silverton train....
You were right by our house!
We were there in 2021. The bridge and train looked interesting, but we thought it was pretty expensive.
Did you drive on the Skyline Drive? That had some tense moments!
Yes we did, we have a video on Skyline Drive.
We walked the bridge in October 2021
heyy!hey!! I watched 1 of your videos and saw a map decal for the vehicles. where did you get it at ? thanks for all your videos ! we're planning a trip and your videos have helped !
By the way Canon City is promounced Canyon City, because when the city was found the note taker used a Spanish N, the Nyea. I could tell you weren't from around these parts.
if your still in the area Tuesday 8th they expect possibly snow up to 6 inches in Denver and surrounding area north and south
great trip thanks!
We keep up with the weather
Selamat Pagi Guys.
Hey you got Jeremy Garnett a good friend of mine at 3:20
Get ready for the snow.
We’re ready 🥶😅
How long is the train ride??
We’re taking this ride in a few weeks during the “Twilight” ride! Where did you guys stay?! I need to book somewhere!
Mountain View RV Resort. There’s several of them along Hwy 50 new Mountain View. Check out our previous video of getting into Canon City.
What would you say is more scenic, this or the Georgetown Loop railway?
I don't know that I could say one over the other as there are 2 different types of scenery. The only comparable trip to the Royal Gorge is the High Line of the Durango-Silverton.
