Steam & Excursion > C&TSRR - D&RGW Triple Header Part 2

A private charter 10-25-14. A triple header 463, 487, 489 & 21 cars. Nice light for the chase up to Cumbres Pass.

From that old war horse, "Narrow Gauge in the Rockies" (Lucius Beebe & Charles Clegg) there are several photos of two head end and a third (and one photo of fourth) engine pushing in an early form distributed power. But if there is a plow on the head end, three or four engines on the head end isn't unusual.
