We arrived in Chama the day before we rode the train to Osier and back. After checking in to the hotel, we raced up the hill towards Cumbres Pass to do a bit of train chasing. Here we caught 463 drifting downgrade on it's way back to Chama. If you look closely you'll see a deer that got spooked by the train and ran off to the right.

This second video was recorded from the gondola. I just love the sound of the locomotive working upgrade!

The last video shows the blowdown of the boiler while we rounded Tanglefoot Curve. I was alone on the rear platform of the Parlor Car for this one.
