Nice lunch so to Chama we go...

[Sharon Evans]

I have to admit, I have never tried either the turkey or meatloaf at Osier, sticking to salad since I don't normally eat lunch. Well lets get train 215 with the 463 underway.

The Osier tank as we head out. Remember, all of the buildings in Osier, except the lunch room, are maintained by the Friends.

The section foreman's house.

The Osier station, interior shots of this building were posted in an earlier upload.

As the train leaves Osier, it comes around a sweeping left had curve to follow the Los Pinos valley west.

A look up the Los Pinos valley toward its head.

Cascade trestle after crossing it.

The train now curves right to follow the valley up to its end where the Los Pinos river splits.

Looking up to the head end of the valley and the bridge over the Los Pinos river.

Looking back at the Los Pinos tank as our train continues up the 1.5% grade to Cumbres.

The car inspector's house at Cumbres. If you look closely at the roof, notice the patch cover placed at the end of work session E once the chimney was removed.

As our train starts down the 4%, the summit is at that switch we see, the section house is visible.

As the train approaches Coxco, the fireman does a blowdown.

The train is approaching 3d crossing and we can look back up at Windy Point.

We continue to drift downgrade as we pass Cresco and its tank.

Looking toward the front of the parlor. That is Mick Mee next to me, he was also a chronicler in session E and was staying for F.

Lobato trestle over Wolf Creek.

As we cross the Chama River bridge, Jukes tree is nicely framed in the opening.

The Chama River bridge after we are over it.

As we enter Chama, Gramps oil racks are to the left and the tank is on the right.

The ride is over, and looking back we can see the sand tower, tipple and water tank. Also on the left is the MOW bunk car now painted RGS colours for the excursion and the 3537 still in primer.
