The photographs on this page were taken during my many
excursions up to Colorado. I live in Arizona so
I only get to head up during my vacation time. I try
to venture into a new railroad town each time that I head up
that way. I enjoy seeking out any remains of the narrow
gauge lines that I can stumble across.
This is probably one of the best pictures that I have snapped
at Chama. I have taken many pictures of K27 #463 before and after
the restoration and was glad to see it go back into service after so many
years. This has to be my favorite operating engine. This picture
was taken on the 27th of May 1995 as a passenger train pulled into Chama
after a day out on the line.
On a trip to Chama during September of 97 I found engine #463 in disguise. The engine had been relettered for an RGS special and was down for the season.
I have never been able to get the lighting quite right when in Cimarron. It's just not a place that you plan to be for any length of time. This shot was taken in July of 91. I wish I could have seen this C16 running through the canyons but it was retired before I came along.
