Golden Spike Run on the Ute Pass Railroad

That was good fun!

Your line is looking good. I enjoyed seeing the shadow of the train as it traversed the trestle!

Nice to see you have gone “green” with your wood fired diesel Locomotive.

Thanks and yes the tender was there because i was having problems with the couplers and the tender was the only car i could get to work that would hook the loco and the cars together.

I too was wondering about that wood burning diesel but now I understand the wood is a backup fuel source on the long hauls. Nice looking trestle and I liked the station stop. Do the waiting skiers ever get picked up or are they patiently waiting for the Colorado winter so they can ski away.
I enjoyed the layout and the music.

Yes they stand waiting for the snow, and Thank you for your comment.

Nice looking layout! I enjoyed the low trackside shots and the camera on top of the reefer.
