	The Galveston Trolley rolls down street...
	*The Trolley down by the seashore.*
	Opening day and the San Luis & Rio Grande is backing to the Antonito Cumbres & Toltec Depot.
	Sorry, not the best picture's, but the light can be a bit harsh here in the Valley.
	There is the SL&RG's rebuilt Rio Grande lettered locomotive.
	From 488's cab, the SL&RG train sits at their loading and unloading zone. In this shot you can see the pavement walkway built by the SL&RG!
	Opening day and San Luis & Rio Grande 8577 sits with its passenger train in Antonito.
	It's pretty cool to see these trains together.
	Locomotive 488 and Locomotive 8577 in Antonito.
	I think 8577 is looking pretty sharp.
	That is about as close as we can get these trains together.
	San Luis & Rio Grande 8577.
	Looking good!!!!
	One of the Galveston Trolleys...
	A look at 484 saturday evening...
	Locomotive 484 is in Antonito for the evening and will return to Chama sunday!
	Locomotive 484 in Antonito!
	The Trolley is taking a 15 minute break and then will head back to town.
	A absolutely cool Trolley ride and the beach and wave's in the background, love it!!
	I absolutely loved this ride....
	Thursday the 31st and a group of motorcar owners came to Antonito.
	The group was piloted by a friend named Butch.. that is Butch's motorcar on the end!!
	I will ride this evening with Butch back to Alamosa.
	The group left Alamosa and rode their motorcars to Antonito, then they rode the train to Chama, came back on the bus and rode their motorcars back to Alamosa.
	They all had a great time...
	I am always amazed with all the different type's of Motorcars.
	I love the fact that now both standard and narrow gauge motorcars can visit the Cumbres & Toltec.
	It's cool to have Standard Gauge Motorcars visit us on the San Luis & Rio Grande Railroad.
	Locomotive 484 will lead the train out of Antonito today with the Motorcar group onboard.
	Over the tender, you can see the motorcars parked on the San Luis & Rio Grande track behind the commission office from the cab of 484.
	The Trolley takes a break seaside before heading back into Galveston's old town.
	I am on 1744 rolling into the wye in Antonito.
	Looking back from the footplate of 1744, we are heading into the wye in Antonito.
	I am down at the switch and 1744 pulls the train into the long leg of the wye in front of the Cumbres & Toltec depot.
	This is what a Standard Gauge freight train lead by a Steam Locomotive heading to Chama, New Mexico looks like!
	Have to get 1744 and the ten cars into the leg....
	then we will back to the mainline switch and be lined up for the return to Alamosa.
	1744 backs past the switch...
	Now 1744 will pull up to the road crossing.
	The crew needed some food, I suggested the G6 restaurant in Antonito.
	The guys walked for food and Earl and I stayed with the locomotive.
	1744 looking absolutely great in the Antonito Sunset.
	Earl is putting water into 1744 and I am taking picture's, hope you liked the shots.
	We had a great time in Galveston, will have to go back again.
	The Trolley ride along the beach was so much fun.... See ya next week!
