It looks like a coach train is going to Antonito today.

Do we happen to know if an organization or group or ??? are the passengers ??

The schedule of the Santa trains on the website don't list today, December 9.

Santa was in the gondola when they departed.

The train just left at 10:15 mst.
There appeared to be a few people on board including Santa in the gondola.

I see yellow school busses in the parking lot so I think today's trains are excursions for the local school kids.

George, that is 492 that is suppose to go to Monte Vista. I think it will be towed over to Antonito when the coaches go over for their annual.

Stanley ... I believe that is the/an older concession car. I recall seeing a similar one via the web cams on, if I remember correctly, the photo charter during the week of October 21st.
