We ran a special train for the local politicians to show off the track work and the awesome popcorn Marbella makes in the snack car.

Highball and the train is ready to roll.

Ronnie and Jake are the headend crew for today.

Leaving Antonito for Cumbres, the passengers will get off at Cumbres and the train will continue light to Chama.

Its Monday and we are in Chama to run the last passenger train over the railroad.

We have locomotive 488 parked over the pit to clean the fire..

We have the whole Antonito crew over in Chama to get everything ready..

After Dumping the ashes and cleaning the fire, Jake is on the Backhoe to fill the 488 with coal.

We have to do some switching in Chama before we leave, we had to pick cars to take to Antonito and cars to leave for the Christmas Train. The Christmas Trains are fun, but having to leave cars in Chama for the winter puts us in a bind as we are unable to get all the cars to Antonito for winter servicing.

With a Tonnage train, 488 has arrived at Cumbres... 

Locomotive 488 looks great at Cumbres.
