Very nice. Those open cars are great. This reminds me of a trip my family did when I was a kid, going across all of Canada on Via Rail. Back then they had the corner doors with windows that could open. So of course I stood there a good portion of the time with the window open. I went over most of the Rockies watching that way. It was great because that line is right next to a river, similar to this. so periodically they would wait for a meet in a siding, and you'd be standing there in the middle of nowhere with the window open, in a place that you could only hike to otherwise.

On a family trip in the mid 1970s we visited the bridge and rode the incline railway down to the river. I was thrilled to watch a Denver & Rio Grande Western freight train make it's way up river toward Tennessee Pass. It's still a memorable day in my mind, all these decades later. Great video Tim. Loved the excellent coverage. Well done!

strange to see an open carriage like that. amazing scenery. brilliant the train went slow enough to enjoy the views and the river with people rafting down it. never seen a hanging bridge like that before. and that suspension bridge is just amazing. that pipeline must have taken some putting in place.
great effort

One of my favorite places to visit over the years. I have been here many times. I remember when this was a regular rail road track, and the eerie sounds the train made on it's way through the Gorge. I have driven across the bridge many times. I guess that isn't allowed anymore. Great video, thanks for sharing.

This is another video triumph, Tim, with well done shots of some spectacular scenery.
But.
I think you mean sheer, not shear. The former means a cliff edge which has a vertical or nearly vertical drop-off while the latter refers to cutting. You could make a sheer edge by shearing it, though. :)

So many abandoned structures on the other side of the river. Spectacular scenery with some urban decay sprinkled here and there. Whenever this unpleasantness finally gets under some semblance of control, I've got to hit this up!

Thank you for the wonderful video. I visited the suspension bridge in 1976 on my way to the Durango Silverton RR. Later I took the DRGW from Denver to Salt Lake City - that was also a nice journey.
