The Moffat Road Part 2 | Winter Park to Glenwood Springs

Originally released on DVD in 2013, take a tour of Union Pacific's Moffat Tunnel Subdivision in Colorado between the west portal of the 6.2 mile-long Moffat Tunnel at Winter Park and Glenwood Springs. Coal trains dominate the scene with plenty of high horsepower diesels on the head-end, middle, and rear. Travel through the depths of Gore Canyon to the lofty heights of the Craig Branch. See why the Rio Grande called this the "scenic line of the world."

Wow words can't describe how amazing how much footage you and your team has captured back in 2012. Its hard to believe that this was eleven years ago. The scenery is just breath taking & never gets old. Outstanding job and keep up with the hard work.

We lived in Fraser, CO - took the Amtrak train from Granby CO all the way to Oakland CA, what an amazing trip, well worth the time ❤. My grandfather did work on the Moffat tunnel as well...

Is it just me or does the BNSF power always look cleaner and in better shape than the UP. Maybe they have more train washes around. 🤷‍♂️. Great videos from ya’ll. Thank you

One time a few years ago me and my family were visiting Colorado and we went on the Durango and Silverton train and wow it was amazing me and my family live in Alberta Canada and we had a blast from the past in Colorado

[clinthanna]

Spectacular videos, Anyone notice the fox crossing the rails in front of the locomotives at 12:50?

I rode this route in both directions on the California Zephyr, westbound in late summer and again eastbound around Thanksgiving a few years later. The pace is leisurely, the scenery magnificent. And I'd do it again. Wonderful video.

[blairterry]

Wow! You got the Hickory Creek on footage in this video! Awesome!

[caldeirarigs]

Again, the 7idea show us great videos form the beautiful western railroads. In summer of 2015 i was traveled by this fantastic route inside the gloriousAmtrak´s CZ from SLC to Denver. I suggest one video from Glenwood Springs to Helper UT to complete this wonderful travel. Thanks from Brazil!

Glad you made it to Crater. I lived in Steamboat and mostly stuck to between P burg and Craig based on whether or not a train was going my way. Made a couple of pilgrimages to Crater, not much traffic but did score, unforgettable. Biggest regret is not sneaking on at Pburg and riding over Toponas into Bond, get eyes on THAT.

Excellent photography job/detailed train 🚂 map. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Noticed graffiti on both box and tanker cars. Perhaps the artists are seeing 👀their creations -?😲😲. Jimmy Rogers the " Singing Break Men "was a genuine break men. Till changing careers to a singing entertainer 🎸🎶 ( 1926 thru 1933 ) most memorable song " Break Man's Blues ".😭. Enjoying this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the "Space Coast" 🚀 of Florida 🐊🐊. Wishing viewers & train care a /healthy/prosperous (2024)🌈🎉😉.
