For more information on the Rio Grande Scenic, visit In the south of Colorado, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, lies one of America's great scenic tourist railroads. The Rio Grande Scenic Railroad, based out of Alamosa, Colorado, operates both passenger and freight trains over several ex-Denver and Rio Grande lines in south central Colorado. Come along for a 30 minute ride on a steam photographer's special from Alamosa to La Veta, Colorado and return. On August 26th, 2010, the Rio Grande Scenic hosted an all day photo excursion pulled by their 2-8-0 steam locomotive

Shame this tourist line has closed after going Chapter 11 bankrupt in 2019 after 14 years of running and 7 years of steam operations and that 18 is on sale now. Hopefully someone will buy 18 in the future for operation or for display since SP 1744 & LS&I 20 were bought in 2020 so here's hope someone will buy 18 eventually. Plus my guess is the tourist line might now be sold to either a freight line, abandoned or torn up. Not sure what will happen to the line but only time will tell.

Your videography work is excellent. Many commercial railroad videos are ruined by too much use of the zoom lens. Yor videos are certainly above the standards of many of the professional vendors. I own a ton of rail videos and I should know. Thank you again. Keep up the great work.

Superb video with just the right amount of commentary. Loved every minute of it. Now looking up similar video journeys through scenic America. I'll be stuck in front of my computer for hours if they're as good as this one. Many thanks for posting it.

LS&I No. 18. I think she might be sold again along with 20 or stay because I haven't seen any videos of 18 in years. So I think their steam program is done. Maybe 18 and 20 will be sold somewhere else? I would like to know the status of 18 though.

Thank you, I sure did! I have an unfortunate habit of taking forever to post these videos. I still have a bunch of stuff I need to get around to editing/posting.
