| Remarks & Notes |
| Evening departure at Cumbres Pass. The last rays of sun poke through the clouds as a Denver & Rio Grande Western Freight eases out of Cumbres Station on the westbound run to Chama, and later, Durango. Locomotive 485 has a fresh crew on board and a tender full of water but toughest part of the next hour won't involve a lot of shoveling or running with the injectors wide open. It will be managing the brakes. The next 12 miles are pretty much a roller coaster ride on rails down a 4% grade. This re-creation was made possible by the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad and Lerro Productions. |
