4/23/23

 It's a double digit day!  😀  It's also Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image goes back to my favorite railroad, the Cumbres & Toltec.  This is the train on the the Colorado end at the Antonito station as it returned from Chama New Mexico.  After everyone unloaded they would Wye the locomotive to get it turned around for the trip to New Mexico in the morning.  A Wye looks like a Y from above and allows a locomotive or even a whole train if the Wye is large enough to get maneuvered into the opposite direction when a turntable is not available.

  1. You're going to have to do a drone video of the Wye in action!

    1. My plan exactly when I am able to get back there. I've already checked to see if it is legal to fly one there.
