Chasin' Trains on the D&S (August 24, 2013)

Unread postby Jason Rose » Tue Sep 03, 2013 10:29 am

Last week I had to be in Farmington for work. Naturally, I went up to Durango the weekend before to get a much-needed infusion of coal smoke.

I tried to get some new angles and locations this time. Some worked. Some didn't.

At one point on the trip, I was working on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation only an hour from Chama. It was like torture to be so close and not be able to pop in. But, I'm grateful I got to spend some time around the D&S.

Jason,
I tried to watch your DS video but it wouldn't load.
Are others reporting the same problem?

No one has said anything. It's on YouTube and only embedded here. It should play for you.

You can try watching it directly on YouTube with this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCbASMnxc1o

Worked fine for me as I enjoyed a vicarious trip along the Animas(s?). There for a moment I thought I was hearing 487. :)

I just tried again and it's not working right both here and you Tube direct

Good ears. You were hearing 487 and 488 at Cascade Trestle. They were around the corner giving that righteous echo effect. I really like that clip, just wish I'd had a wind filter.

That's odd. Works fine for me. According to the counters on YouTube, 25 people have watched it.
