    Nice! Do they still let you wander around the yard over there? Last visit to the C & T I was allowed just to walk anywhere I wanted...of course it was at the end of the season and few folks were around anyway.

    Yes, I was able to wander around at both Chama and Antonito. I even got a short ride in the cab of one of the locomotives. Good people out there.

    After dropping its train off in the R/D yard, this locomotive runs to the south end, and will soon switch over & head back north into the yard. Brakeman rides the steps to line switches.

    After taking the siding in the Summer of 1989, this SP crew takes time out for some conversation while waiting for a freight out of Sacramento.
