It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! On August 1 while I was out at the Cumbres & Toltec Rwy for their special event, I was waiting for the special train to return to Sublette for a short stop. In the meantime, the regular train from Chama on it's way to Antonito, came in for it's short stop. It was being led by locomotive 489.
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.
I was out in Colorado and New Mexico for a special event that the Cumbres & Toltec Railroad was holding. While waiting for a train in Sublette, New Mexico I saw this little Chipmunk running around and captured this image of it while it posed on the rail.
