Georgetown Loop Railroad Fall 2019

During early fall of 2019, I took a drive up to Silver Plume, CO to spend a day recording the Georgetown Loop Railroad as they went about a special day running two different passenger trains; both powered by steam! As it turns out, this weekend was record-breaking as far as passenger numbers, so an extra train was definitely needed. In this video, watch as we start off departing Silver Plume aboard newly-restored Georgetown Loop #40. Engineer Will Gant and Fireman Kevin Whilcomb gently guide the train down to Hall Tunnel for a meet. We set off there to watch the westbound train pass by, led by GLRR #111. We stay at Hall to see both trains swap positions, as #40 now guides it's train back uphill, and #111 back downhill towards Devil's Gate. We quickly follow #40 up to High Fill Curve to watch the little locomotive get after it on the steep climb towards Silver. Plume. We drop down to the area in and around Devil's Gate, as we watch #40 and #111 go through their chores of escorting hundreds of excited guests through some of the most spectacular examples in mountain railroading that Colorado has to offer.
