Here's some photos from opening day:

Overnight snow made Cumbres and La Manga pass a winter wonderland

The new Chama depot gift shop. An incredible amount of work was done on Friday to make this happen.

Parlor car ready for today's riders. Everything in this car is top notch. Careful attention to detail over the winter is obvious.

315 and 463 were the power out of Antonito today. This is the first time these two locomotives have pulled a passenger train as a double header.

This rare double header had about 170 riders today. A lot of people

I'm not sure, but I think Craig is enjoying himself in the fireman's seat, ya think? Did they save the old cool room in the freight part of the Chama depot Joe?
