I took this image the day after riding the train. This is at Windy Point and the train is climbing up it to Cumbres Pass. The grade percent is the highest here and it climbs quite a number of feet in elevation in a short time and you need a good fireman and engineer so it does not slip on the rails while climbing and even then.... It was very windy in this area and I was glad I wore a jacket that day as it was quite cool as well. It's kind of hard to image these days with the heat we have been having.
