At the Water Tank

Morning Ritual

Cumbres & Toltec K-36 Mikado #484 leads #488 in a doubleheader up to Osier.

Fall color on the C&TS. Three engines and three classes of engines: 463, 497, 487.

C&TSRR K-36 #487 west of Osier, CO lunch house, where the Chama and Antonito trains meet.

Taken on the Antonito end of Tanglefoot curve where the tracks start to run along side of the highway.

An historic icon still stands in the yard at Chama New Mexico.

Flanger OJ sits in the yard at Chama after many years of faithful service.

487 pulls its train past the water tower a few miles outside of Chama. The water tower was never used but built for a movie set.

After being turned on the wye at Cumbres 488 hooks back up to its train, the Moonlight Special, and will contine to Oiser backwards.

The Jukes tree gets blasted by the exhaust from three hardworking engines, heading for Cumbres Pass.

As though through a reversed slide...the reflection of #487's tender is "right", in the reflection of the locomotive's own blow off. SouthWestRails.commore)

K-36 #487 brings a tripple header around Windy point, heading to Cumbres, during the peak fall color season. Will we ever see this again?
