It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! The Cumbres & Toltec Railway was running a Centennial Limited special to celebrate Colorado's 150th birthday and the nation's 250th. They ran a special double header train on August 1. I was out there to capture it. This image was taken in the railroad town of Sublette, New Mexico where trains stop to take on water when they are heading out of Antonito ( they sop here on the way from Chama too but don't take on water as it is heading downhill all the way and they have enough. Locomotives 168 and 463 were being watered up to head to Osier Station for lunch and 168 would head back on it's own as they do not double head down grade due to uneven wear because of the weight of the train on the fairly steep grades.
