I want to make sure that all who watch this video know I'm NOT taking credit for filming this video. It was shot by WB Video Proudctions (http://www.railfanvideo.com/catalog/vie wall.aspx). I have no intent of infrenging on somebodys copyright. I only wish to share these clips with fellow railfans who appreciate these shots for what they are.

Now that I've placed my disclasmer, here we go:

Here's a freight train on Tennessee Pass near Red Cliff.

@SP4449BN9444 Great idea!

San Luis and Rio Grande has painted their locomotives with their modified scheme using the flying Rio Grande including some F-units, recently sold. SL&RG also has a steam engine from LS&I, which is the first standard gauge steamer to have a flying Rio Grande in probably 50 years. They operate under the name Rio Grande Scenic Railroad.

Additionally, Canon City & Royal Gorge, operating as Royal Gorge Route, has diesels in nothing but prototype Grande paint schemes.

someone should, like an old partner of DRGW, then paint the locomotives into a DRGW scheme

there is a tourist rr through Royal Gorge. The cost of running trains from 5,000 elev. to 10,200 feet is what ended Tennessee pass, and would make a low profit margin rr like a tourist train a money loser. That right there and the many many curves on the west side are why UP chose to use lower and straighter routes than Tenessee Pass......

Thanks for sharing. Mountain Railroading at its finest!

Such a fantastic line. Through the Rockies, not around them!
