For a short time in the Summer of 2011 you could ride a train from Chama, New Mexico to Antonito, CO, then board a standard gauge train and ride all the way to La, Veta all behind steam. SLRG 18 was an ex L&SI consolidation used in the iron ore fields of Michigan. The high tractive effort locomotive was rite at home pulling the grades of the ex. DRGW. In this photo the passenger train begins its departure from Antonitio.
