Royal Gorge Route Railroad F7 Cab Ride

Hello Viewers
This year has been crazy for me. Just recently, a very good friend of mine offered to take me on a cab ride in CRRX 403. I for sure said yes. I drove to Canon City and caught the arrival of the 9am breakfast train returning back to the depot. After walking around for a bit, it was time to walk over to the locomotive. I climbed the ladder to the B unit and walked through both the A and B unit. I then walked into the cab, and what a view it has. I sat down and go my camera stuff ready, also taking in the sounds and vibrations of the locomotive. It had the low rumble with the spirts of air from the air reservoirs. We chatted for a while and then it was time to depart town. After leaving town, we get to hear the locomotive at work. I also got to quickly blow the horn at about the 34 minute mark. I blew a warning sequence to let the rafting photographers know of an oncoming train. After we stopped at Parkdale, we performed some braking tests and maneuvers. I then walked all the way to the other end of the train, and rode in 3104. I didn't get as many clips of the eastbound trip because the views are mostly the same, plus I just wanted to sit back and enjoy it. And boy did I! After a pleasant trip east, we arrive back at the depot and the trip is complete. This by far is the best thing I've ever done, and recommend it to anyone into trains. This experience also helped me on a professional standpoint, because it allowed me to see my potential future work environment. Anyways, that is it, and I hope you enjoy it. I do apologize for the shaking, the tripod I was using is terrible but it got the job done. Thank you for watching, and Ill see you next time. Joint Line Railfan out-
