Another beautiful day there in Chama, not like the day full of thunderstorms I'm getting here.
484 once again leads train 216 on it's daily journey. Lots of folks out in the yard this morning taking pics and watching the departure.

Thanks for the video, Larry.
It's pretty neat that such an extraordinary event (such as the departure of a coal-fired narrow gauge steam train in 2014) is considered so routine. We are indeed quite lucky to still have this railroad operating.
My hat's off to the staff, crew, Commissioners, and volunteers that make it all happen so smoothly.

100% agreement with that comment Jason. Even more amazing to me is they do it on time day after day, rarely later than a minute or two on departure -- sometimes a bit later on arrival, but not by much if at all. I think I commented last year at the end of the season I only noticed a couple days all season where they seemed to have issues. Certainly hats off to all involved, and for those that made these webcams possible for us to see what's happening, you deserve praise as well!

Thanks Tom. But, it's not me at the forefront. This is a Friend's project and I'm just a small part of it.
