Passenger Trains > SW Chiefs meet at Gise NMDate: 09/26/16 04:55 SW Chiefs meet at Gise NM Author: AndyBrown We took a short vacation to visit Flagstaff last week and with our WB train being late, the meet was at Gise NM, a new one for me.

Why would they do that? What's the advantage? Date: 09/26/16 14:50 Re: SW Chiefs meet at Gise NM Author: F40PHR231 symph1 Wrote:

Date: 09/26/16 15:59 Re: SW Chiefs meet at Gise NM Author: chiefds I've been told that a number of sidings are out of service in the area for various reasons. I had friends waiting to get on #4 at Trinidad recently and while tracking its progress, saw that it waited at Fox for 45 minutes for #3, even though there were other sidings in between (at least on paper).

I agree it looked like #4 was going to back out but can't say for sure. Andy Date: 09/26/16 17:39 Re: SW Chiefs meet at Gise NM Author: The_Chief_Way That's right . It was on T-O recently about the number and names of out of service sidings. Nothing said about one end of any being O-O-S.

Date: 09/26/16 18:38 Re: SW Chiefs meet at Gise NM Author: 1976 Probably just stopping to let the conductor back on after throwing the switch back.
Date: 09/26/16 19:58 Re: SW Chiefs meet at Gise NM Author: chiefds That would make sense too.
Date: 09/27/16 07:03 Re: SW Chiefs meet at Gise NM Author: Grande473 Do they still have that stretch of CTC on Glorieta Pass?
Date: 09/27/16 07:40 Re: SW Chiefs meet at Gise NM Author: Chessie1963 Interesting, but in the final shot you can see the train engineer along the ROW in the distance. He was exiting the train in shot #2.
Date: 09/27/16 12:37 Re: SW Chiefs meet at Gise NM Author: CA_Sou_MA_Agent If that happened this past Saturday, I was on # 4 in the siding having lunch in the diner. We went out the east end. The delay for both trains was a supposed rock slide near Glorietta, but I didn't see anything.
