Thank you! 😁

We are so excited to see the progress they are making. It's gonna be awesome when it is up and running again!

@@friendsofctsrr For sure!

The coal tipple was last used in 2021 for a demonstration during the Iron Horse Roundup. It is not used for day to day operations. There are not currently any demonstrations scheduled.

She had a broken side rod.

The train winding through this area is always one of my favorite views! <3

It really is a pretty view, both the train and the landscape.

It would be really cool to rebuild it all. If only we had an unlimited supply of money!

This was a piece of stock music through a paid service. It is great music though and we wish we had more information for you.

We were stoked to see this footage as well. The volunteer who digitized it let me know there is more footage that has not been digitized yet. I don't know if the footage is as good as this is though. We can't wait to see and share it.

@@friendsofctsrr Fantastic. What a gem! I look forward to that.

Yes, it was. The original creator, Les Jarrett, has given us several great videos from the 1990s to use for educational purposes.

Thank you! It has been so exciting watching the progress as they disassemble and work on Baggage Express 163.

Wouldn't that be fun!

Thank you. I will pass this on to the videographer.

We would love to have you join us. You don't have to volunteer to be a member. We also have several projects that are accepting remote volunteers if that is something you are interested in. Please let us know if you have any questions.

487 is currently undergoing oil conversion in Antonito. I saw her on my trip this summer and was said she’d be back sometime next year. Not sure if they’re going full oil like the D&S though.

The current plans for oil conversion only include 489 and 487. The C&TS Commission's website has some notes in the meeting minutes from 2023 about the oil conversions.

Thank you! We agree.

That's so true and our docents love it!

It is such a great ride. Experiencing it in the snow gives you a whole different perspective.

We are so excited!!! Holiday train rides through the snow are a magical experience.

Thank you! Reefers are quite interesting cars.

Thank you so much. We love being a part of the railroad's preservation!

Thank you!

We are so glad you enjoyed the C&TS. We love being able to help preserve the line for future generations.

Thank you for your support. We love being part of the preservation of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad.

Thank you! We are so thankful for all that our volunteers do.

Thanks! We love being able to help preserve the railroad and its history for the future.

Nuh uh

The video says "there are no plans to restore 483 to service." 483 won't steam for a long time unfortunately.

Hey, at least they’ve decided to at least put 483 back into better looking shape. And nice to hear that they are going to restore 492. This means there will be three K-37’s in order operating. 491, 492, and 493.

We are glad you are enjoying them. We apologize for the long delay in getting them back online.

@@friendsofctsrr No, problem 👍👍

They change the way they are painted periodically. It may say Cumbres & Toltec again someday.

​@@friendsofctsrrhard to see, how was she painted here? As D&RGW?

Thanks! Our volunteers are skilled folks. We are so thankful for the time they give for our preservation work.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Our webcam team is working on them, but it is, unfortunately, taking longer than expected.

@@friendsofctsrr Thanks 🙏, I miss it.

@@stephensfarms7165, we do too. We will share it on our social media pages as soon as we get them up and running again.

Our webcams are back up and running as of today 8/7/23. Enjoy!

@@friendsofctsrr Oh, hallelujah thanks guys so much. I’ll be watching 👍👍👍👍

Right now there are no plans to return 483 to service.

Although sadly not coming back to service anytime soon, still glad to see the 483 back into cleaner shape rather than how she was near the Chama ships in the years previous.

492 is in the shop for restoration. I have not heard a timeline for completion, but we are so excited that she will be back out on the line in the future.

@@friendsofctsrr 492 also an oil burner or will she be coal. Heard 487 is being converted

@@nicholasmedovich6729, the last update I heard about 492 was that she would remain coal-fired.

@@friendsofctsrr but what about 497?

@@RalphTheMalaysianRailfan475patience please, pal. Of course I’d love for 497 to come back too, but it can be quite a lot money and effort to even bring just one engine back to service. Let’s just be grateful that there will be another loco operating again.

Thank you. Our volunteers have been working so hard on this project. We are so grateful for all they do!

That's great. The Cosmetic Restoration Team has made a lot of progress since then. We hope you can come out and visit again soon.

@@friendsofctsrr Thanks.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We are working on the webcams and hope they will be back up soon. We will announce it on our Facebook and Instagram as soon as they are back online.

@@friendsofctsrr Thanks I don’t have those , Facebook, and instagram. Thanks for keeping the RR operational.👍👍🌟🌟

@@friendsofctsrr Is there anyway to get sound? From the cams? Thanks 🙏

In this video, 463 heads back to Chama while 488 heads to Osier with the train. This video is from 2014, so I cannot say with for sure whether 488 went back to Chama or on to Antonito.
