This week, we have something different again. Not many trains moving in this video, but I thought this was worth sharing. The Chama Yard on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad is one of the most fascinating yards I have ever visited. It appears much as it has over the last 100 or so years. There's even a complete collection of original freight cars and locomotives. Come take a look as we go on a brief tour around the yard. Some bonus clips at the end from the Durango and Silverton are included with one of their operating steam trains, very similar to those that run on the Cumbres and Toltec
Oldenweery: Thanks for the tour, Mike. I see a bunch of past projects I see in my 1950s bound volumes of _Model Railroader: _ the coaling station, the Company Service gons on the elevated supply track. Of course, I immediately wondered if they actually use the coaling station to coal up their Mikados. I suppose not, but I sure wish somebody had taken movies back when they were using the thing (all that rumbling and clanking and coal rattling down the chutes! Engine facilities have always fascinated me, so thanks for shooting this. Kewl! Date: 2022-05-12
