27 Sep - Three Hot Locos

Unread postby Jason Rose » Fri Sep 27, 2013 9:14 am

K36 #489, C18 #315, and K27 #463 are simmering in Chama this morning.

That's a heckuva sight! Where else on earth can you see 3 classes of steam locomotives under steam on their home rails in 2013?!

You posts are so much clearer than the cam - thanks. Don't get me wrong - cams are great.

Me thinks they are clearer since our IT department had access to the feed directly from the cameras :-)

Actually there are 5 hot locomotives on the line. 488 s/b coming back from Antonio. 487 was the helper and 489 the road engine out of Chama. 315 and 463 are in the Chama yard.

Where can anyone see two locomotives going up a 4% grade along with 3 other locomotives along the line???
