The weather is spectacular. Chilly with a strong breeze. Crystal clear blue skies.
Just need some more snow... And a train.

Jason,
Thanks for the Cumbers Pass Pics.
Beautiful sky and great sun on the pass.
It is so nice to see how much work has been done on the structures.
Keep up the pics for the steam starved Friends.

Glad to see you made over there from Farmington.
Also good to see the track guys working on the trestle. The last I heard they were planning to install the french drain between the track and section house after the doing trestle.
The highway department's camera at Cumbres is working, as is the Antonito camera.

Yesterday it appeared work was being done on the crossing in Antonito.

Excellent photos Jason, thanks for sharing. Agreed would be nice if you got a train, but hopefully you can make it back during season next year.

Thanks for the shots Jason. The trestle work looks good as well as snow in the shadows.
Those trestle walkway boards were real springy in October ripe for replacement.
Glad the signal still strong enough to send up there. I got a few small pic files out of my iPhone .
How large did u try?
Thanks again.
Oh, One more thing!!! Go back and turn the CDOT cam 180 degrees!!:):)
