 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image is a companion to Thursday's.  As we rounded a curve on the Cumbres & Toltec Railway ride in the scrub area of Colorado near Antonito, the engineer was blowing the whistle quite a lot.  You can see the steam coming from it in the photo.  The cause was this Elk that was standing on or right near the tracks and I was able to get a photo of the action.  The white object to the right is a mile marker and we were at mile 291 when this occurred.  The train does not go that far, that is from original Rio Grande designations.  I am not sure where the starting point is.  Very early in the ride a similar thing happened with cows but I did not get a photo.  😊
