Rode that loop once coming back to CA from Chicago a couple years ago by car on business. Behind that same shay too. We were all real bummed, they told us the tickets were sold out, but the conductor saw us staring from the platform and when he asked if we were getting on and we had no tickets, he just smiled and waved us through anyways! I'll never forget that guy, or that train. There is no ride like that loop, and no trestle like that one! lol You can FEEL the sway when you cross! Great vid!

these types have a LOT more pulling power correct? they were designed for the logging industry i believe. very cool to see one of these in action.

Isn't this where the picture of the train falling off the bridge was taken?

Isn't the bridge's name the "Devil's Gate Viaduct"?

This is where my wife fell in love with Shays.

I got to ride in the cab of the Consolidation back in '97. The engineer & fireman were real nice. I cherish that day & hats off to a fine crew. I long for those days again, & hope those engines wind up in service again in good hands. I also got to film while in the cab. A real treat. My next favorite train ride in Colorado was the Durango & Silverton.
