Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec - FriendsOfCumbresToltec.org

Watching the camera views it is obvious that the Cumbres/Toltec is a working concept. The railroad staff and volunteers are side-by-side getting the job done. Regardless of how close you look, it is not possible to distinguish one from the other.

Amidst billowing smoke and blaring whistles, Locomotive #489 makes a spectacle of itself as it pulls Train 216 out of the yard and heads off to Antonito, Colorado. For those watching from other countries, there is no need to show a passport to travel from New Mexico to Colorado.

Goose 5 spotted "waddling around" in the North Yard at 1:46 PM. Click on photo for full size graphic.

I believe it was eight months ago in October that "Wacky Roger" found Galloping Goose #5 and Goose #7 wandering around the Chama railyard. He kindly posted this video in his forum at the time.




Roger's Sub-Forum is available at: viewforum.php?f=116

Here you will find fine Chama-Toltec videos and stills.
Roger, thanks for your fine contribution to steam railroading.

The large font size is my idea. Hope you are not offended. It is such a great event that it should be shouted about, and even waved at.
