Enjoy the view from the locomotive on a rare daylight freight train over Colorado’s beautiful La Veta Pass. Long considered the D&RGW’s “hidden” mountain pass due to hosting mostly night trains for the last 50 years. In Part 1 Sierra to La Veta, you enjoy the climb up and over La Veta Pass, with 2.5 percent grades climbing and 3 percent grades going back down. The scenery is spectacular, and the railroading is too! This is former Denver & Rio Grande Western trackage, then Southern Pacific and Union Pacific.In Part 2, La Veta to Near Ft. Garland, ride the head end of a light unit move from La Veta to near Ft. Garland back over Colorado’s La Veta Pass. This does cover a bit more trackage than part one, the scenery is great in either direction! As a special bonus, you’ll also be on board for the arrival into Alamosa!You can turn the narration on or off.
Adrian C Duncan –
Outstanding cab ride over a seldom-filmed pass. The view is mostly straight ahead so you can appreciate the engineering that went into this line. The conversations and radio communications in the cab are clearly audible – the engineer provides many very interesting comments as the train proceeds over the pass. A great train ride!!
