I had my first student fireman trip on this day... I was on the 482. Thanks for getting it on film, it was one of the days I will never forget.

Love D&SNG! I had known about it for years, but did not get to ride until Sept 9, 2014. The plan was train to Silverton, bus back to Durango. On that morning, however, the second train (ours) left Durango behind #482 under a drizzle, but up in the San Juan Mountains, that drizzle was a deluge. The water stop at Tank Creek seemed awful long. The conductor came into the car to explain why: Both of that morning's trains were being turned back, because the tracks ahead had been washed over by a flash-flooded rill down the trackside slope (mud?). We saw the other train, already turned around, waiting for us to clear the mainline switch at--I think it was the Midway Depot--the wye. After that train left, we backed into the wye, and another long wait began. I suppose that long wait was to allow the other train to clear the Horseshoe Curve. We passed the time, drinking coffee, watching the rain fall harder and watching the river rise. We got twice as much train ride as we paid for--and I am not complaining--but we never made it to Silverton. I suppose, I have to go back to finish the trip. Oh, darn! :D

Im confuzzled, at 1:00:00, 481 goes by twice. Same at hermosa,she had to wait for the other train but then the next shot was 481 going through hermosa with no hangup. Were some of these shots taken on different days?

I said in the earlier title card that #482 had a problem and #481 had to wait for her to clear the line.

Not sure but I think it was some kind of running gear problem, they had to do some work on it before she could be moved.

I was a student fireman on the 482 that day. A leaf spring hanger broke on the fireman's side about a mile and a half north of Hermosa. The spring hit the boiler, bent a rod and went to the ground. We sent #7 to come get our train, we took the 482 light back to Hermosa. The second train gave our train their locomotive and engine crew and went off to Silverton while we waited for the rescue locomotive #480. We went to Silverton and the 482 was taken home. The bent rod was quite the sight!
