Thanks! I was told they had a lot of rain the past month by a local.

@@TheTrainFreak Yes they did. I live in Denver, I’m only 5 hours from Chama. Been there and rode 484, but raining and cold end of September 2021.

Awesome! Not sure how much foliage you'll see as most of the trees were evergreen but it's beautiful no matter what!

Nice run to film. I am putting the finishing touches on a few new kits along the Cumbres & Toltec, such as Cumbres Pass, Osier, and Sublette structures. Glad you got a chance to take this trip. - Mike McCarville

Parlor car allows you to access that open deck on the back, with a beer in hand...lol.

Holy smokes - literally! that one still running on coal? the smoke in your shots at the end was really something! Definitely adding this one to my list! Great video.

Thanks John! Yeah, they said if we was to go out on the Gondola Car, we need eye protection for the cinders but I found out the hard way, you need sun protection too...lol.

Isn't that over by Pagosa Springs?

it is specificaly 3 ft narrow gauge. Cape Gauge (the narrow gauge used in Japan and parts of africa) is 3ft 6in gauge.

@TheTrainFreak 2 ай бұрын

Yes, it is exactly 3 foot in gauge. There might of been some logging RR's that used 3'6" but I wouldn't know of any from the top of my head.

What was on the menu for lunch?

@TheTrainFreak 7 ай бұрын

I honestly don't remember. It was a buffet but I do remember them posting it on their website. Food IMHO was really good and they also had Vegan options for those with food allergies.
