Sorry for being a little bit tardy but here are some photos from the following three days. I have to tell you that a bunch of us were pretty tired last night! What a great day as the 463 made it's inaugural run double-heading with 487! WOW...what a treat!

I should have also mentioned that Work Session "A" started on Tuesday May 21 with crews working in both Antonito and Chama.

Thanks for all the photos Tim, sounds like everyone had a GREAT TIME!

Thanks Tim. Monday was a pretty incredible experience.

I'm back at work today and dragging my butt after the drive home yesterday. Will post some pics as soon as I get a chance to edit a few.

But Jason, it is 'good tired' you got to go and play trains. :-)

Jason, I don't know how you did it. Tuesday I was a complete veg. Good for nothing except recoup and yet you had a long drive ahead of you.

It was a fun day.

I'm wondering that, too. We left the night shoot around 10:30, got to bed around 11 and got up at 0300 to head for Houston. Really not smart.

But, I'm VERY grateful that I was able to be there. It was WELL WORTH all the lost sleep.

There were so many moments that made the trip worth the effort:

-Morning coffee on the balcony at The Hotel
-Seeing 463 under steam
-Finally meeting Carlos Llamas
-463 double heading with 487
-Switching locomotives at Big Horn
-Snow at Osier
-Night photo shoot with Michael Ripley
-Dinner at Fosters
-Lunch at Sonny's with Rich Murray
-Lunch at Osier
-Being able to bring 3 good friends from Houston with me
-Being able to help out by doing some network stuff for the Friends in the Bunkhouse
-And finally, being part of the 463 DVD film crew. What an honor that was!

What a great trip.
