Lisa and I attended this historical event together on Saturday. She took her camera with her and took over 300 photographs and I took over 30 minutes of video. The main attraction was the Equipment Parade where they ran several pieces of equipment around the track several times.
While at the event I met "Chris Guenzler" of TrainWeb (http://www.trainweb.org/chris) who was traveled over 1 Million miles by rail.

As some of you know, I've been spending the past week or so inventorying and reorganizing my model collection and at this point I can 100% say that my HO Scales collection is officially cataloged now.

It was a cool and snowy day; but, that didn't stop Lisa and I from attending the CRRM "Goosefest" where they had #2, #6, and #7 running. We took a ride in the back of #7 and a Cab Ride in #2. Lots and Lots of video taken!!!!!!!

2008: Escape of the DNC; Day#5

Posted by: Stourbridge_Lion on Aug 27, 2008

Tagged in: Union Pacific , RRAdventures , Passenger , MOW , Freight , Diesel , Depot/Station , Amtrak , 2008 Railfanning

We start out on this day by going up the side of the mountain to tour the "Glenwood Springs Caverns Adventure Park" which I would find out was now owned by a guy I went to collage with. During the tour it opens up on the side of the cliff and looking down we caught a Coal Train passing through Glenwood Canyon. I wonder if HEMI knows which tunnel this is?

After the tour we walked to downtown Glenwood Springs to take a few photographs; especially of the Depot and the Spa.

We checked at the station and both the West & East bound trains were running late as usual and the museum was closed. So, we decided to take a nice drive down Glenwood Canyon to take some scenic shots.

Well, wouldn't you know it; the West Bound Amtrak shows up and we could barely get to a stopping point to catch some shots.

Wouldn't you know it again, after we left that spot the East Bound shows up and we do our best to catch it. We actually did in a few places!

After reaching the east end of Glenwood Canyon we turned around to drive back to Glenwood Springs. Along the way we saw a UP Truck on the highway and then we got a crew on the tracks. Remember in my previous blog "Here is just a teaser of what we found but not the only thing", that other piece we found operating along with others including this truck.

2008: Escape of the DNC; Day#3

Day 3 begins and ends in Leadville, Colorado at 10,152 feet. We start off the morning traveling back towards Red Cliff that we passed on our way to Minturn the day before. Near this area the D&RGW track dropped deep into a canyon that begins in Red Cliff. We saw no way to stay within the canyon except by train or by river. A few miles down the highway we found a great little turn off that over looked Eagle Mine and the track below.

We then completed out loop drive to return to Leadville for todays main event. Time to get on board the Leadville, Colorado & Southern with the Video Camera ready to record the trip. Here is a shot of our host.
