That was a fun day. Put a smile on our faces, several of us had 2 years of blood, sweat, and tears in her. Last time I really got to run 40 was in 2013 at the Museum, running her on the 4th made the wait worthwhile
3D Audio only works if the viewer has 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby headphones. If you use regular headphones the audio will not be true 3D. You have to have 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound in order for it to work. CZcams supports 3D audio so as long as you edited the video correctly it should be working. But it only works with special headphones, otherwise it’s just regular audio and my phone speakers are pretty much fine.
No, The k-27 are a 2-8-2 locomotives, not 2-8-0. Also these two served the railroad in Central America before #40 went to the White Pass & Yukon Route before retiring from Revenue service. #111 was retired until the Georgetown loop Railroad acquired both locomotives, including 2-6-2 #12 and the shay locomotive.
neat. What happened to the Shays they had? it would be a neat project in my opinion to have the railroad run all the way back to Golden. imagine that ride!
Originally Lindsay Ashby ran 3 West Side Lumber 3 truck Shays, 8, 12, and 14 plus 2 IRCA 2-8-0s, No 40 and 44. The lease was not renewed in 2004 and various equipment ran. Eventually realising the success of previous equipment, 111 was obtained from Breckinridge, a slightly more modern IRCA engine very similar to 40 and 44 and WSL Shay 9 was leased. With the success of 111, No 40 was then purchased by CHS and re-restored after a 15 year absence. 44 and the 3 original Shays remain in Golden, CO.
David H Bingham Ashby’s Shays went to Golden with 40 and 44 and all of his other equipment when new operators took over. 40 had to be purchased by the new operators to return to the Loop. Leased sister Shay no 9, fleetmate to Ashby’s Shays at West Side, returned to Iowa.
@@jacobwoods8738 Yup. Saw #9 at the 2019 Old Threshers' Reunion in Mount Pleasant. Never seen an operating Shay until then. Magnificent machines, they are...
Brian Falzon I am curious as to why you say this? Durango & Silverton actually considered one of the Guatemalan 2-8-2s for restoration as an oil fired engine I am told (IRCA always ran oil burners) but deemed them to be too small. 40 and 111 are even smaller than the 200 series 2-8-2s which are the pinnacle of 3ft design, with front end throttles and other 1940s technology. 40 and 111 are smaller than the D&RGW’s 360, 361, and 375, only slightly more powerful than say 315 or 346. (Roughly 22,000 lbs of tractive effort, severely limiting pulling power.) Durango is a busy schedule these days for “extras” in between for enthusiasts are hard to fit in, and 40 or 111 would certainly be such, plus they are right at home at Georgetown in my opinion. The bridge and scenery even resembled Guatemala to some regard. Plus I am not sure how far out the cylinders and conversion kits are on IRCA engines, how wide they are could be an issue too. I hope this helps.
Those engines bring back good memories from my childhood where those engines used to operate.
A DOG on the tender? Is that why all those D&RG engines had "doghouses"? LOL!
Glad 40 is back on the loop I've missed her on the loop. Last time I saw her she was at the RR museum.

2:55 this is what makes it all worth it
Sounds great, thanks.
Viva las locomotoras de vapor de los Ferrocarriles Internacionales de Centro América. Viva IRCA!
Lastima que nuestros gobiernos dejaron que se llevaran estas locomotoras de nuestros paises.
Thanks Mr. Huckleberry Fenn

Cool video.
Are those locomotives K-27's. The rolling stock is the Durango and Silverton,correct.?

@@DeathValleyLumberCompany weren't there several?
@@CoalChrome yes, all 3 are gone, the other 2 now reside at the Colorado railroad museum and are for sale.
@@DeathValleyLumberCompany oh, interesting

Miss the Shay geared locomotives, where did they go to?

40 and 111 should visit the Durango & Silverton for a lease.
