  • In this video we take a ride on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. The journey begins in Chama, New Mexico. We saw some amazing views and historical items related to the rails, like the double-spouted water tank. The train stops at various points for brake checks and we were told some interesting train stories like the guy Tanglefoot Curve. At the halfway point, we stopped for lunch in a very nice mess hall.

    A ride at the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad from Chama, New Mexico to Osier, Colorado and back on a train pulled by Cumbres & Toltec No. 489 (A.K.A Denver & Rio Grande Western 489, built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1925). One of the 9 out of the 10 D&RGW K-36 class 2-8-2 “Mikado” Steam Locomotives preserved at the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad in Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Durango and Silverton, Colorado.

    My friend has a channel. Jamie Makin. She has been a railfan her entire life. Became self employed and got a part time job working on the trains. She now works full time. Literally a dream come true.
    Debra is late? That never happens! ❤️Here we go! Amazing views off of the bridges. Gorgeous skies! Sounds like everyone is having a blast! Wait! Trains and food! This video has everything! Oh... they have a Jimmy Buffet! Mom! Meatloaf! All filled up for a sluggish train ride home. 👍😃👍🚂👍 I love the sound of the old trains. The clanking. The bell. The whistles.
    🎶Happy Birthday Debra!🎶
    All hail Biker Tim! Howdy Ezekiel! 36:46

      Thanks for recommending this one to me, Dennis. And Frugal it was nice to catch up with you again. Looks like they've got some friendly workers on that railroad as we do ours. It's a really fun job!

    For those who are train 🚂 buffs there is a train video narrated by Johnny Cash. On CZcams. He shows you different trains and tells you the history. It has some of his songs that mentions trains. Enjoy 😊

      Please read, understand and focus on this publication carefully.
      Have you ever thought about the One who created you, who created man, the animals and the plants, who created the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon, who created the night, the day and the sea, and who shakes the earth? when he wants and reveals it to you?
      Did you know that Islam is the true religion of God?
      What is the benefit of this life if you are not a Muslim? Why did God create us if we don't worship Him? The religion with God is Islam. How do you meet your Lord after your death when he asks you about Islam?
      Did you know that Islam is a religion of mercy, happiness, love, tolerance, cooperation, justice, benevolence, equality among humanity and obedience to parents?
      Did you know that Islam prohibits murder, injustice, deceit, envy, transgression, theft, lying, usury, bribery, adultery, the consumption of alcohol and drugs and everything that exposes a person and destroy it?
      Did you know that everything in Islam is positive and everything that is said negative in Islam is a lie from other people and religions who want to distort the reputation of Islam?
      Did you know that Islam gives women full rights?
      Did you know that in Islam your life changes for the better?
      Did you know that all current sciences in medicine, technology and everything else were provided by Islam 1455 years ago at a time when technology did not exist?
      Did you know that the prophet Jesus recommended following the prophet Muhammad? He said, "He will come after me."
      Did you know that God gave the prophet Muhammad everything related to past, present, future and post-death revelations?
      So this is the Islamic religion that you don't know.
      If you read this post and think carefully about my words, answer my question.
      Why do you teach and know the truth and don't want to convert to Islam?
      Embracing Islam is the greatest achievement you will achieve in your life, and the benefit to you is greater than the wealth of the world.
      If Islam is fought, it will intensify, and if it is abandoned, it will expand, and Allah is attentive to whoever is repelled, and He is free from those who turn away, and His power against criminals cannot be avoided, not even If the enemy has been prepared, then God cannot defeat him, so renew faith, renew God, unite God and strengthen the ranks. He is hot

    I love the selfie of you 2 @18:39, you look like your having fun, and you both look beautiful! I really like her Turquoise necklace and ring. I just bought a Turquoise Ring in Cherokee, NC in the Smoky Mountains on vacation. That is my early 58th birthday present! I am a Wiccan. I worship Shamanism, turquoise is my healing stone. Just FYI on turquoise, if it is blue, it was found near a lot of copper, if it is more green then it was found near iron deposits.

    That was an absolutely epic train ride! I love the openness of the country out there, and it's fantastic to see so much old narrow gauge equipment still being used. I'd definitely like to ride and chase this one someday. I was on a 160-mile steam-powered excursion in Pennsylvania last Saturday, and while it was a wonderful trip our scenery is no match for what's out west.That's interesting that they've got two fire cars following along the tracks and a fire truck on the road. I wonder if it's just because of the dryness of the landscape there? Or if their locomotives lack spark arrestors? They've got some really nice amenities on that railroad too, especially that buffet lunch. Glad you and Debra had a great time!

    • @FrugalRVGal
      @FrugalRVGal  Před měsícem +1

      Yes, it was an amazing experience! Such beautiful scenery and the ride itself was so much fun! Yes, the fire cars are due to the dryness of the landscape. WOW on that 160 mile trip. I bet that was really cool!
