Train 215 of 6/20

I received some pictures today from Don Atkinson concerning the upcoming work session at Antonito next week but he included several shots of today's train. The railroad must really be doing a good business out of Antonito with 487 pulling 15 cars today. Seven coaches, the 4 premium cars, café and 3 open gons, the 487 must have put on quite a show going up the first incline toward Lava tank.

Pete posted on another thread the passenger count.

Pete said "All coaches are limited to 10 riders - 9 revenue cars 90 total passengers." 3 open gones so no crowding!

Tom, your count is slightly off, its 11 revenue cars, 7 coaches and 4 premium, so 110 possible passengers and they also could have a few more in the seating section of the cafe.
