Has it really been 8 days since we started this adventure? Seems like just yesterday I got the e-mail saying, oh, by the way I'm headed to Chama tomorrow. Nice to be retired!!!!

One happy "old man" (his words), and four hot locomotives!

We were told that 315 had to drop two cars at Lobato due to too heavy a train, but actually only one car at Lobato.

We may get a couple more shots at Cumbres, but otherwise won't get any updates until later this evening.

He was under orders to relax and don't worry about pictures today on the train -- you see how much he listens. :lol:

Marine or not, being on that train makes you shoot pictures.

Great photos thanks to both Larrys for their part in sharing them with us. I called Roy Lloyd on the phone and told him, "I hope you greased the semaphore swivels good because about every other picture I see of them they are set differently". I am thrilled that they are getting noticed.

That would be the legendary Earl Knoob performing with Ed Stabler, who is also quite legendary.

Wow, Larry. Wow. That was a heckuva good day!!
