Was leaving the East Portal of the Moffat Tunnel when I came across this at Rollinsville. To good to pass up, had to stop, film, and share! Enjoy the EMD Wind-Up!

    Thanks for the excellent HD video! I moved from Boulder 30 years ago, but still like to catch the trains on the Moffat Sub when I visit. Sad that they're now UP yellow, though, instead of the old Rio Grande. Oh, well -- life goes on.

    "When I was a child, my family would travel...."  to Rollins Pass, and we drove the Moffat Tunnel railway bed -- 6 kids, 4 adults & an Irish Setter in a 1969 Dodge station wagon.... "critical on the right!" was the commentary I remember (my father, afraid of heights... with his childhood friend driving the car...).  Here's to the memories of my dad, Jim, and Sandy's dad, Rolly... originally of Oak Park, IL.

    This is by far one of the best produced train videos I have ever seen. Well done!
  • Awesome to see this glimpse of the American economy at work! Scenery is beautiful! Thank you for the video!

    Our family spent many Summers Vacationing Up above Pinecliffe CO, and we would drive over to see the Moffat Tunnel. The Hobo’s were plentiful and would take their t-shirts off to tie around their faces to breathe through since the 7 mile tunnel would take approximately 15-20 minutes for freight trains to get through it. Amtrak takes 12-15 minutes to go through it on the California Zephyr.
  • Thank you my friend foe the support. Done + the bell on

    Very nice catch. Those EMD's sound great!

    I sure love seeing a big rig or locomotives pulling a load and really pouring that black smoke. I sure miss the old SD40's, GP9's, 7's, and 38's from when I was a kid. They had a particular sound and always blew lots of smoke, and I think they were better looking too. Although I do like the square bulldog look of the SD70AC's, makes them very macho
