Every December for the past several years, TSG Multimedia has teamed up with Mike Armstrong (Coasterfan2105) to bring you special program featuring one of the railroads Mike has visited. It's a truly unique collaboration, as the media and script come from Coasterfan2105, while the editing and narration are done by TSG Multimedia. So far, every annual special has been about steam trains. This year is no different.
We return to Colorado's Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad... This time, in the winter. Come along as we take a ride behind one of D&SNGRR's Mikado 2-8-2 locomotives from Durango all the way to Cascade Canyon and back.
Enjoy shots from the train as well as run-by shots in scenic locations along the route. Add to that lots of historical information, and you are in for a nice trip.

Just a beautiful area,Especially in the snow. Well done.
Of captivating snowy scapes and mesmerizing journeys...Enthralling video and cinematography...
Thank you for dating all the structures!
Such a beautiful trip! The snowy mountains are magnificent! Loved hearing about the history relating to this amazing railroad. I expect to take a train ride in the foreseeable future! Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Blessings.
So beautiful! I would have loved to be a passenger on this train. What a magical experience.💕
This is the best video of this line, as the commentary is so informative.
Been on that ride twice. Would jump at the chance to go again!
Fantastic! Really well done.....Thank you!!!
“Florida citrus grower” purchased the railroad. That’s my state, and also from my portion of Florida since there’s nothing but horses and mega farms, and river so clear you can see to the bottom. I like living here more than I like living in Miami. Lots of people with common sense, which accumulates into a linked business accruement related to such temperament. And the forests are beautiful.
What exactly are you talking about?
i watched a dvd called winter steam spectacular when i was younger, and this train was always my favorite. ima go watch it again
Hermoso me encanta
Glad you were able to see it back then. It's gone now...history has been replaced. Even on the great DURANGO TRAIN.
Are you referring to the oil conversion?
i remember the Silverton Durango. i was on a mountaineering course in the San Juans during 1973. we got one of our resupplies from the train. one of us got to cross a zip line across the river and pick up the supplies. i hadn't yet been bitten by the train bug just the mountain bug. years later i rode Amtrac from Chicago to Central Illinois (one of my many trips), during the winter. I love looking out the window watching the landscape go by but it is especially relaxing when the landscape is covered with snow. i watched Polar Express and love it.
I was on this wonderful train today and it was super! High altitude rush!👍😁🇺🇸
When visiting Denver.
Sight seeing train "raced" bicyclists from Durango to Silverton
i love the Cumbres and Toltec and Durago / Silverton narrow gauge railroads
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Most of the credit goes to my friend Mike, who did all the recording for this video.
One of the best rides I took. Bob
+Widi1956 Thank you for your support!
It is wonderful to ride this Train.
i rode this train in 20034 it wass spectacular
I went on this train in 4th grade
Some beautiful footage. Loved the way you edited it and put it together. First rate.
Good job.
(from Canada) Must take this Train in the summer, I have never been on this RR, so it is on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching! Feel free to share the link to the video with all your friends and associates. They may thank you later. :)
We have taken this Train several times and last time brought our Grandchild. It is well worth the trip there. We were there in June, and twice in August. Have a good trip.
I
Been on it 4 times
I went to the legendary snowy mountains of Denver Colorado. And I really want to go ride a narrow gauge train there.
That's some beautiful footage. I've done at least 10 trips on the D&SNGRR but have never done a winter trip. I'll have to add it to my bucket list.
Loved it. Absolutely loved it.
Sadly I am on the other side of the pond!
All I can say is, I would love the idea that something I built was still running strong after 97 years.
Really well done video. First rate.
Love it. You guys do great work
+Jordan Johnson All the credit this year goes to Mike Armstrong! You can subscribe to his channel too if you like this. Coasterfan2105 is his CZcams channel.
Thanks - a very informative description of part of the route prior to my visit in 4 weeks time.
Indeed. There is another video about the Eureka on the D&SNGRR that you might find interesting. It's in the same play list as this video. Thank you for watching!
Great video,the sound of the whistle reminds me of the black and white westerns we used to watch with Cliff Robertson in the 60s
Thanks for watching!
10:01 a train from mike's intro
Great video
Thanks! Mike did a really great job with the filming and script for this one. I really love to collaborate with him. He is probably the most competent rail fan/videographer/photographer I know.
Hey John, I bridged over from the N scale Run By's to this one.... Loved it! I have a framed picture in my Den of a double headed steam train along the mountain ledge. It has been on my Bucket List for decades.
This is on my list as well. My friend Mike shot all the footage, wrote the script for this video, and has been there many times now. Every time I see it again, I want to go.
Since Mike's been there many times which does he recommend.... Summer or Snow?
You know, I did not ask him. But considering the scenery and the equipment, how could you go wrong any time of the year?
Excellent. What's not to like?
nice
+wirbelwind (wirbelwind) Thanks for watching!
20:20 A blow down is to remove sediment built up on the bottom of the boiler. not to remove excess steam, (a safety/release valve does that)
Virginian Qtb
Pop off valve is generally located on top of the unit not the bottom.
THIS IS AWESOME! :-D
Nicely filmed John, what beautiful scenery and weather! Your commentary was very informative, although at times it did intrude on the engine working hard past the camera. A correction to one of your comments: the blowdown is used to clear sediment from bottom of boiler, not condensed warer. Water is evaporated in a boiler, not condensed!
Hope I get to make this trip before I depart the planet.
+struck2soon It was filmed by our friend Mike Armstrong - all credit for that goes to him!
The other correction is that the 10mph speed restriction on the High Line is because of the track curvature, not the ROW clearance. That's the curve that threatened to buck 497 before the C&TS took ownership of her and corrected her trailing truck damage from the Rio Grande days.
Thanks for watching!
A further correction as to road names and place names: it's pronounced "An-ih-muss" not "Anni moss," and the founding railroad was the Denver & Rio Grande WESTERN, aka D&RGW.
Documentaries have similar rules as newspaper stories: Fact Check, Fact Check, and Fact Check, and always ask locals and RR company bosses for correct place names and pronunciations.
I must also say, your photography is excellent!
I rode the train back on Labor Day the engine jump the track we were stuck several hours until they sent a rescue train for us
Not a local, but vacation Durango every year since 1978. I believe the correct pronunciation of the river is An-uh-muss.
The "english pronunciation" of the Spanish word is how you spelled it out. It's a Spanish word, however, so I pronounced it as one. I tend to do that with words that have latin-based origins.
I want to pack and get into that train now.
Thanks for sharing this video.
wow you do great videos ,, this is one of your best ,, now that is a review ,, thanks for sharing this ,, and I wish I was around for this ,,, nice area , and just a great video wow wow and wow

brrr need to go warm my tootsies, but i bet the drivers happy
WHY IS 473 ALWAYS RUNNING IN THE WINTER?!
Not complaining
If their fewer passages why is it running!
This video is fantastic, but I wish I could listen to it without the narration
Kind of hard to make that happen. Sorry about that! At least the information is accurate!
@Joseph Smith He wants tp hear the train sounds.
😌
I've been on that
+Tryinglittleleg Did you like it?
+tsgmultimedia like it I loved it
how do they heat the cars in winter? gas heaters?
Old wood fired cast iron stoves. You'd be surprised how warm the cars can get when they fire the stoves up
cool!!, i mean hot!!LOL!
@@thecoloradokid1758 I was wondering the same , Thanks for the answer.
The commentator better look-up what a steam locomotive "Blow Down" actually is!
Yes of course, this has already been discussed.
Blowing out sediment or blowing out water?
Sedi,ent
C. W. McCall's "The Silverton" should be playing as background music for this video. He calls it "Train to Yesterday." The lyrics say pretty much the same thing as your narration.
No, no, please, definitely NO background music!!
The song is, I warn you, very infectious, and will be stuck in your head... Good tune. Check it out!!!! Happy New Year!
It's an excellent song. As is his song Gallopin' Goose.
A great video but get your narrator to ask the locals for the correct pronunciation of names in the local area....he was way off on several.
Which pronunciation are you concerned with?
Snow from the smke stack indicates too much waterin the boiler causing damage to valves and cylinders . Alro the Locomotive is changes from 73 to 86 , why .
For Pete's sake, it's pronounced Rio Grande (GRAN-day), not "Rio Grand." Do some research, before putting out a narrated video!
The American English pronunciation is exactly as spoken in the narration.
If you want to pronounce it with the correct Latin-based origin, it's "Rio Grahn-deh" with rolled Rs for the proper effect.
Your mispronunciation isn't correct in either case. People I know who worked for the Rio Grande when it was still around all say it the way I do.
