C Vision Productions | Rock & Rail Activity on the Tennessee Pass Line in Colorado @CVisionProductions1 | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
C. Vision takes you to the historic Tennessee Pass line in Colorado to view Rock & Rail operations between Cotopaxi and Cañon City. We encounter two of Rock & Rail's GP40/GP40-2 locomotives handling storage cars between Parkdale and Cotopaxi, which is as far west as the railroad operates. The crew then moves east to Parkdale, where ballast hoppers are picked up for the trip to Cañon City. Although the prospects of reopening the line as a through route are very uncertain, operations continue between Pueblo and Cotopaxi on the east end, and between Gypsum and Dotsero on the west end. We hope you enjoy this look at Rock & Rail on the former Rio Grande "Royal Gorge Route". This footage was captured in January of 2021.
Locomotives seen:
RRRR 201 (GP40-2) ex SSW 7249
RRRR 501 (GP40) ex WC 3009
