what sort of little engine are they useing it sounds like its a small diesel dressed up like a steam engine but from the rear it looks like a porter engine
The ride looks interesting, though I am dissapointed by two things. First, it's not a "real" steam locomotive. I think it is a real steam engine, but it was modified to be driven by an internal combustion engine. Second, the "Guide" pointing out off the sights and what not had a very dull tone. Almost as if he's jsut there to earn a pay-check. ^^;
I hope that I can get out there someday soon. It looks like a really neat place. Not to mention I'm a sucker for Western history! XD
i went there but didnt go on the train because it was raining.if you go bring your quads or some kind of ohv other than a dirt bike. its way to rocky to even get out of third or second gear.its cool in the hills if you go to the right from calico.there is some open mines you can go pretty deep into.
calico is the best place to be for halloween we go every year im gonna bury my uncle and dad up on old boot hill. there is just somthing nostalgic and good feeling about this place. it dosent look like much on ur screen but its really cool when your there. so if you live in the desert go n camp site at calico stay for a weekend you and your family will enjoy it. hell knots berry farms hhas a replica of this place so it must be cool come visit lets keep calico ghost town alive
omg..this video brings such good memories ..i remember when my dad took me there before going to vegas..i was only 6 or 7..it felt like going to disney...we rode the train and the choffer was one of the last survivers ..he was old with a santa beird..round 96 yrs..i doubt hes stil livin.. hes the one that described all thats on the video.. good time memories
assuming processing costs stayed the same, what would the price of silver have to be to make that pile of remnants profitable to process? (sheesh, this sounds like some stupid math question, huh?)
I live 20 miles from calico in newberry amd i work at the restraunt as a prep cook. The voice of the train is ranger wayene. one of the local rednecks.
Hey man thanx sooo much for posting this video!!!!
I have been across the ocean in sunny California last summer, and couldn't miss visiting Calico and taking the train, but I couldn't film it...That's amazing, I feel as I was there on that very day....What a magic.....
Though I'm living in the opposite side of the world, my heart is still in the far west....America is such a wonderful place!!!
Excellent video. I went to Calico on a school field trip back in the 70's. Unfortunately, I was too dumb & immature to appreciate it then but now I find it very interesting. Hard to believe so many people lived there once upon a time.
I wish I lived close enough to visit again, but I am about 8,000 miles away,so I better start saving for another trip.Well worth the detour from the road to Vegas
I always enjoy this video... Thanks..

Was this engine a steam "outline" locomotive? I think I can hear a diesel motor.
