a wooden boxcar, I guess they still use wooden rail cars.

it's a historical rail line used for tourist, scenic and railfan events, they use almost all original historical Rio Grande equipment.

Wow. I've been on this railroad twice in the last 11 years. I live in England and this video makes me want to go back to the railroad as quickly as possible.

Thanks for showing this video!

[baldwinloco12]

Thanks, and no problem, I hope to do again some day soon.

@simonjcourt I live much closer to the railroad than you, and I hope to see trains in your country!

@jlebaron1 Yes the San Juan Extension was (is) narrow gauge.

Great video, beautiful scenery! Is that railroad narrow gauge?

Unfortunately the Lobato Trestle in your opening shot burnt up this summer. they can't use it as of yet. they brought in a team of engineers to evaluate the damage. We'll see what happens. real bummer as I was planning to go up this month and get some more photos to display in the art gallery.
