- “Chama To Cresco”, Rio Grande Southern helper engine #20 and road engine #455 “Double Head” out of Chama New Mexico with a Mixed Freight Extra. Watch the last run (before returning to the CRRM), of #20 to Cresco Tank in Part 1 of The RGS #20 & 455 “Chama To Cresco”, Part 2 & 3 Coming soon. #455 is really C&TSRR’s K27 #463 in disguise. Recently restored RGS #20 (from Colorado RR Museum, Golden) was trucked to the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad's 50th Anniversary Celebration for private charters following the week long Victorian Iron Horse Roundup.
Be still, my heart! Thanks, Bob.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Breathe...
The opening shot is flat out beautiful!
Hi johnsolimine, thanks for watching and your beautiful comment!
Took this ride many year ago on our way to Philmont Scout Ranch. Had a great time, and the one-eyed blacksmith scared the bee-Jesus out of my son.
Gorgeous ! It is the resurrection of the Rio Grande Southern ...

Right On. The RGS "Lives", at the C&TSRR.
Beautiful scenery and fantastic video. I love watching your videos. Every scene is like a beautiful picture that has come to life. Looking forward to seeing your next video! Thank you so much!
So nice of you to comment, Thanks so much and your very welcome.
Hi Bob, Great video. The steam whistle of the 455 is just beautiful, I love the steam blow and the sound of the steam whistle. Thank you for showing me. wolfgang
Glad you enjoyed it and your welcome.
Qué hermoso, me transporta a mi niñez, allá lejos, el pito de la máquina a vapor, tan característico. Cuando papá venía llegando a la ciudad y nos avisaba con "pitazos". Muchas gracias, por transportarme a aquel tiempo hermoso. Un abrazo 💞
Hi Olibet, Thanks for watching and sharing your wonderful story.

Nicely done, Bob. Thanks for your efforts. I was on the southbound trip from Silverton that day with SP18. Had to choose. 🤷🏼♂️
What an amazing time to be a rail buff. Cheers!
Maybe Next Time!
Easy choice for me, I chased the #18 the day before and rode in caboose behind the Princess for the winter photographers special 2 years ago. I may not have another chance to see the #20 do the 4% grade out of Chama again. (I'm old) It was awesome! Thanks for watching and the compliment.
Hey Bob !! Really outdoing yourself with these videos & Thanks for sharing with ALL the viewers !! Have a great week out there & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!! What a ride it would be on the ""SPEEDERS"" !!
Hey K B, always appreciate your comments. Look for Cresco to Cumbres later tonight. You should enjoy it, even has a Speeder photo bomb!
@@whitcraft4578 OKS Will do & Thanks !!

Great can’t wait to see them. Thanks Bob.
love 463's and 20's whistle at lake lobato.
Hey Shooter, thanks for watching, It's a "Hoot"!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Was #20 restored by Strasburg?
Interesting why didn't they cut off number 20 before they had across the bridge?
Hey Tex, it's my understanding the rule book only talks/applies to 2 K36's or 1 K36 and 1K27 or larger. The same question/answer was asked when the #168 and the #315 crossed together.
7:00 I thought the bridge could only hold one engine
7:05 Wait a sec, why didn't they uncouple the engines before crossing that bridge???
Hi Evan, Thanks for watching, my understanding is the rule book only talks/applies to 2 K36's or larger. Huh Cool Stuff!
@@whitcraft4578 oh I see, that's interesting and something important I'll remember.
The combination of 455 and 20 did not exceed the max weight limit for the Loboto bridge. Our orders gave us clearance across without stopping. I'm one of 20's crew.
@@paulmonce7625 huh, well that explains it as well, thx very much for the info. It just caught me by surprise and a little bit worried tbh since I think I do recall when seeing a video of Rio Grande 315/425 & 168 had to uncouple when going over the bridge during a run in late July 2021 from what I've seen in this video czcams.com/video/lNlaQmhcmXs/video.html
