I thought that I had lost this music forever last nov. you are such a blessing.

[TheBombson]

this is such a cute song ^^

I used to travel to gunnison with my family when I was little and my dad would always play C.W McCall, so I guess it brainwashed me into liking this kind of stuff (and I'm only 14!) I rode the silverton train once....and so this song always reminds me of it!

[TrevComix]

This has to be my favorite CW McCall song.

[gaycowboy31]

@TrevComix he did another train song too about the #5 the Galloping Goose

[ToasterToast]

Songs about trains are the best songs about vehicular transport.

OMG yes!! After hard searching I finally found the song. I love that fucking chorus!

I havent heard this in 10 years.

[wtrh]

[incasgold]

[JasnoGT]

Haha, I posted that a year ago..Thanks for bringing me back.

This song is an underrated classic!!!

Good video

If you like trains, you need to come to PA to the Railroad Museum. They give a history of railroads and let you climb on all of these classic trains. It's in Strasburg, PA -just outside of the city of Lancaster (heading east).

nice

This is a fine example of William D. Fries' commercial songwriting, in this case to promote the Durango-Silverton narrow-gage run for the Denver & Rio Grande Western; the Durango & Silverton is now an independent short line.

Nice vid. I have always wanted to see the D&S steam train. I have ridden on the Virginia City Steam train in Virginia City, Nevada. I have also ridden on the steam trains at the Nevada State RR museume in Carson City, Nevada & I have also ridden on the Roaring Camp steam train in Felton, California.

If you like these trains, might I recommend the Tennessee Valley Railroad in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They operate 2 2-8-0 Consolodations. #630(Alco 1904), and #610(BLH 1952), which was the last steam locomotive built for domestic use in the USA. They also opeate 2 U.S.A.F. RSC-1's, 2 US Army GP7-L's, and S.R. RS3, E8, and GP30, and they are working to restore S.R. #4501. They also operate an N.C.& St.L GP7. Their Longest excursions are 100 miles RT dowm to Summerville, Georgia.

[CoastStarlight11]

I will have to look into that.

[Inuyasha4lif]

The old 3 foot gauge is my favorite kinda Gauge

[CoastStarlight11]

Nice. I like the old stuff but I am more into new stuff like say Amtrak's California Zephyr, Coast Starlight and new BNSF stuff. Old stuff is cool to.

[Inuyasha4lif]

I dont really like the new deisls,The GP-38 is cool,But I love the old timers

[CoastStarlight11]

Nice

[CarGuyZM10]

I always wanted to ride on this railroad, but living on the east coast, this would be very difficult. After seeing this, I feel one step closer to achieving this goal.

[leathersammie]

It is such a beautiful area! Definitely Mother Nature at her finest!

[genlochlee]

Rock on love it :)

[WillieDines1]

This is also one of my favourite all time songs, and most definitely one of the best country songs ever written :)

5 stars everytime, thank you soo much for uploading this song :)

[andre21198]

this has to be one my most favorite songs

[leathersammie]

Thanks! It's one of my favorites too and since there were no videos anywhere online I decided to make one with actual pictures of Silverton and the mountain and trains.
