Denver and Rio Grande Western steam locomotive number 315 is a C-18 class locomotive built in 1895 by the Baldwin Locomotive works. It was purchased new by the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad but was later sold to the DRGW (then DRG) in 1917. It received its current number in the 1920's when the Denver and Rio Grande was reorganized. During its career on the DRGW, 315 ran throughout the Narrow Gauge system. It spent its final days on the DRGW roster in Durango, CO as a yard switcher. 315 was loaned and later donated to the Durango Chamber of Commerce for static display following its retirement in 1949. The 315 was also a movie star of the rails, being used in the movie Colorado Territory (1949) and Around the World in 80 Days (1956. Today, DRGW 315 has been fully restored to its former glory after a 7 year restoration by the Durango Railroad Historical Society (DRHS) and makes occasional trips for the public on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. Come along as we follow the locomotive from Durango to Silverton and return on a few special trips that were made in 2010 and 2013 on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Scenes from on the ground and on the train are included. the sights and sounds of this classic Colorado narrow gauge steam locomotive!

Wow! This was tremendous. I now have another trip that's a must do. behind the 315. Her whistle really got to me, sounds almost identical to my favorite Baldwin, Sierra Railway #28, which I grew up riding. actually gave me goose bumps. Thanks for posting a great video!

At 00: 05: 57 00: 10: 02 00: 11: 15 00: 15: 27 00: 32: 16 and 01: 02: 46 I wonder how long this magnificent superstar Locomotive has worn that D&RGW 5 chime steam whistle and I also wonder if that-s the whistle from 2007 or from 2010

very good, but why edit out the regular drgw train at the passing loop and you needed more shots of the two stations, I havnt been there since the 1990s, wanted to see the place see if there were any changes.

That is funny, didn't know that an actual C-19 ran on this line, I have been running a Colorado and Southern C-19 down the Durango line on Train Simulator for awhile, now to find out it actually takes place is cool

05: 57 that train whistle on this cute little engine sounds very reminiscent of former Denver and Rio Grande Western K-28 class #478 and former Sierra railway #3.

No finer music than a steam locomotive. unless it's a sweet sounding steam whistle. which is part of a steam locomotive so it's all good.
