One full week of December gone already, Christmas is coming fast.  Hope your preparations are coming along OK. My image for today is two locomotives getting ready to be put to bed at the engine house in Chama, New Mexico. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the locomotives are usually not cooled down all the way, they are kept warm so if they are needed quickly they can be heated back up to operating temperature faster and moved out onto the line to take over.  It's quite the operation there.
