The Rio Grande never sleeps. The D&RGW Chama night hostlers position a K-36 helper locomotive for a drink at the yard's dual-spouted water tank, in preparation for a heavy sunrise freight to Cumbres Pass.
The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad are all that remains of the legendary Denver & Rio Grande Western narrow gauge system. Here you'll find some of my favorites from these two beautiful railways.
