Hi, many thanks for your comments. You must have been as excited as I was seeing the C&TSR. It really is an amazing railroad. I hope you keep up you enthusiasm for the railroads. I started when I was very young after seeing the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales. Many years later and I'm still as keen, restoring, driving steam locos and visiting railroads. My 10 year old son seems to be following my footsteps. Hopefully you guys in the next generation will keep these Engines in service?
Glad you achieved your "ambition". :) I first recognized the C&TS when I was 6, while watching a video called "The Alphabet Train", which had surprisingly good footage of several trains mixed with a narrator teaching me my ABCs and about trains. When I was 9, I had learned everything about the railroad, and was always trying to think of a time when I could ride it. Finally, last year (at 13 yrs old), my Dad brother and I took a trip to Colorado, and rode it on the way up there. :D
Hi, thanks for the very kind comments. It was a real treat going out and seeing the Cumbres & Toltec. One of the best railways I have been lucky to see. I need to start planning a return trip.
A brilliant film that really captures the atmosphere of these amazing locomotives and fantastic scenery. You are really lucky to have been able to experience this for real rather than just through the virtual world of video and the web.
