The Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad "Fall Colors" Part 2, 9/28-29/2024
Enjoy the Fall Colors along the east side of the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad in part 2. Every fall, the trees begin to change colors and turn beautiful shades of reds, oranges, yellows, and browns. This color change made a beautiful backdrop for the trains and a relaxing weekend camping on Cumbres Pass.
In the opening shots the daily Antonito Limited, (10:00am departure Antonito to Osier and return), stops for water at Sublette and departs for Osier.
After our lunch we chase further up the hill, colorful aspens surround the gravel road and we catch up with both trains departing Osier after lunch. Lastly, we catch the return of the Antonito Limited from above Sublette with its whistle echoing for the stop for water at Sublette and departs.
Part 1 incudes the Chama Limited at the highway crossing as it climbs the last of the 4-percent grade to Cumbres Pass, Colorado, stops for water and departs for Osier.
Later that afternoon we catch the return of the Chama Limited with its whistle echoing for the highway crossing, seen in the opening scene below the pass. Chasing further down the hill, colorful aspens surround the train passing Cresco Tank, crossing Labato Trestle, entering the Narrows and arriving in Chama and a RGS Galloping Goose #5 cameo.

    Thank you for this. I am a person who believes that inanimate objects have souls and feelings. I think it is wonderful to see such a great engine chuffing along on a route she was made to travel. I understand that she must go back to KBF, but I cannot help wonder if she would not be happier traveling on unfettered track instead of going round and round every day at a VERY reduced speed on a limited basis. The shots of her running were great and she looked perfect moving at a good clip. Thank you again!
