D&RG

This video is of a “Special” train on the C&TSRR that was to give the feel and look of riding the “Chili Line” in the late teens. D&RGW #315 was repainted and lettered D&RG #425 to look similar to like it did after it was purchased from the F&CC. The headlight and pilot was also replaced by the DRHS (the 315 group). Recently restored by the “Friends of the C&TSRR” D&RG coach #292 and RPO #54 helped give the look of a train that ran on the Chili Line. This fund raising event was to help cover the cost of building proper passenger trucks for the passenger cars that will make up the historic fleet that will run with the #168 when completed. Video was recorded 9/24/2018 at Antonito, upper and lower Whiplash Curve, Big Horn Wye, Sublette, Osier, Cresco siding, Coxo crossing, Highway 17 crossing and Chama. No “Runbys” were harmed in making this video. Sorry about the sound, it was very windy.
