dblstack a very good choice. Back in the 50's and 60's I worked for the Rio Grande and had a number of cab rides. 13 hours in the cab of the CZ Denver to SLC was a long day but a great experience. Mountain railroading with some fast running around Rifle CO and in the Utah desert. Spent a nice evening in the cab of #7 the Prospector, different look at night Denver to Grand Junction. Several trips on #1 and #2 the Royal Gorge thru the canyon of its name, great scenery and some fast running from Colo.Sprgs. to Pueblo. But the best - lots of noise, hot, dirty, rough ride and slow, Alamosa to Chama on a K36 over Cumbres. Unforgettable!!! <br /> <br />Had an authorization for a cab ride on the Super Chief from La Junta to Albuquerque but a family emergency forced cancellation, a great pity as was never able to get it set up again. Raton Pass and some really fast running back in the good old days of the Santa Fe. Might have seen 100 on the speedometer. Amtrak wouldn't even come close.
