Waiting for the Nightwatchman, 488 and Number 5 wait Patiently.

I love this! Thanks to everyone this isn't an old picture, fully restored and operating historical railroad equipment.

Love the nose on that Goose.

Caritas brings up the rear.

We have almost hit the summit at Fir and we are passing the connecting track at the summit of La Veta.

Looking down to the Muleshoe curve.

Now, from the summit you can see the tracks dropping down to Fort Garland and beyond.

Another view of the train climbing La Veta.

We are now on the descent and passing through the many red rock cuts.
