Climb that Hill, Baby |
Description: |
#12 had guts, although she had to stop to build pressure about half way up. I hear the C&S had to do that also, back in the day.. |

Switching the Chama yard |
Description: |
Switching at Chama after the train. These pictures amaze me. Looking at them, it is hard to tell when they were taken. The level of preservation at Cumbres & Toltec is unbelievable. |

Switch them cabooses |
Description: |
I love these shots. Yep, they are not in the mountains, but instead a railroad going about its business. I am so glad the CATS repainted their equipment back into DRGW, it really rolls back the clock. |

GLRX 1203 |

Ever wonder what an Alco powered 6 axle 3 ft gauge Porter looks like? I know I always did (well, not really). Answer is, it looks like 1203-sporting a 6 cylinder 251 and showing it off. |

ONE CAR |
Description: |
Time honored switch move, as the conductor brings #9 back to couple. Your choice of the distance to call 'one car' and also 'that'll do' (don't say stop unless it is an emergency, you'll never hear the end of it) depends on the skills of your engineer. On the C&NW, we had some that were so bad on the brakes that they would roll another 30 feet after that'll do, so after a while you learned to "lead 'em". Conversely, we also had the 30+ year guys who could stop 2 Geeps and a string of cars with their brake hoses disconnected within a few feet of your stop signal. It was pretty embarrasing to switch from one of the Crap-tastic engineers to one of the old heads, lead him by 20 feet, and have him stop with 15 feet to spare....You didn't hear the end of that one, either. |

You a steam Fan? Here we have the engine that pulled the last Class one standard gauge freight from Climax to Leadville on October 11, 1962. Next day a SD9 took over, and another era came to an end. |
