# 31 | THE MOFFAT ROAD - PART 2 -- WINTER PARK TO GLENWOOD SPRINGS
The rugged majesty of the Colorado Rockies sets the backdrop for this historic routr running west out of Denver. Between the west obre of the famed Moffat Tunnel and Glenwood Springs lies 130 miles of high mountain Parks and deep colorful canyons. After exiting the 6.2 mile long Moffat Tunnel, the grade Lesens allowing trains to sprint through the Colorado high country. Loaded coal trains put on a fantastic show of raw horsepower Verses gravity, with remote swing and rear-end helpers. We'll visit Gore and LittleGore Canyons, Byers Canyon, the spectacular Dotsero Cutoff, Glenwood Canyon and the Crater Loops on Craig Branch. This is one of the most scenic railroads in the west! Part of Union Pacific's Denver Area, this line sees mainly coal traffic out of western Colorado and eastern Utah. BNSF operates trains over the Moffat via trackage rights and Amtrak's California Zephyr runs each way daily between Chicago and the west coast. As trains follow the course of the Colorado River, one awe inspirier vista opens up after another. The Rio Grande called this "The Scenic Line of the World" and you will see why in The Moffat Road Part 2: Winter Park to Glenwood Springs!

# 38 | SANTA FE 3751 - THE RESTAURATION
Here is the story of a truly momentous undertaking involving a truly historic steam locomotive. Built in 1927, locomotive 3751 was the first 4-8-4 for the Santa Fe and the first ever for Baldwin Lokomotive Works. She was the first of Santa Fe's passenger trains to arrive at the new LAUPT in 1939, and she served in passsenger service faithfully for 27 years before she was retired in 1953. In 1957, she was donated to the City of San Bernardino where she sat on display, exposed over the years to the elements and vandalism until a dedicated band of supporters formed the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society in 1981 with the intent to protect her and possibly restore her. It wasn't until 1985 that a suitable location was found where the 3751 cloud be housed and rebuilt from the inside out. Skeptics said it couldn't be done; she was too deteriorated. Yet after 10years and thousands of hours of concerted effort, 3751 was returned to the rails in elegant splendor.
This show will take you along that monumental journey, from the move to new quarters to the work that took place during the inervening years, ending with the 3751's break-in freight run from San Bernardino to Los Angeles in 1991. You'll meert the volunteers who ncleaned, welded, fabricated, and refurbished the engine to its original design. They will explain the many challenges they faced. You'll see rivets and bolt caps, boiler tubing and piping, firebricks and side sheeting being replaceed. You'll learn how pumps and compressors, rods and piston rings, miles of copper tubing, and other elements were restored or created, including the cab's numerous valves and interior construction, as well as the tender's repairs. Take this trip with us and see how a determined team accomplished what others said couldn't be done, which was to give a bright new future to a magnificent Icon of American railroading lore.
