The Royal Gorge Route Railroad 2015

In late May 2015, we took a nice cruise down to Canon City, to ride the Royal Gorge Route Railroad, operated by the Canon City & Royal Gorge Railroad. In this video, we watch the 9:30 departure to Parkdale arrive back at the depot. The train is cut in half, and we then take off from the former Santa Fe depot at 12:30 sharp. We head out of the city, and follow the Arkansas River on the former Denver & Rio Grande Western Tennessee Pass Subdivision. We head all the way to Parkdale, where our conductor climbs into the cab car, and guides us back onto the main line. We cross under the Royal Gorge Bridge, as well as the Hanging Bridge one last time. We see plenty of rafters, wonderful canon scenery, and even have a radio commentary between our conductor and engineer. NVRRP highly approves of this magnificent railroad! Rate. Comment. Subscribe.
