A visit to Roaring Camp Railroad

[Dinosorable]

Why does the switcher at 1:58 sound like a car?

I see that they got another little diesel to help with switching out un-needed cars. When I worked there they had the side-rod Caterpillar RR tractor that is at the Colorado RR Museum now. I ran it as a helper on special trains a couple of times.

I always thought that shays were powered on both sides. Learn sumthin new every day

I thought that too when I was little. I always came to roaring camp, and just never saw the other side! To be honest, I didn't know they only had pistons on one side until I got saw a model of one...

If only they did though... 6 pistons... that would pack a punch.

Nice music to compliment a great video. Is that Buddy Emmons playing the steel in that song?

Dig the blow-downs....

Cool!!! I really like the authetic atmosphere you've created with the pace of life being a little slower than what we're used to nowadays! Keep em coming!
