Great video of C&TS 487 making it to Cumbres Pass. Where was the crowd?!? How many folks were up there? I only counted three (included you).

I hope the cars on the train are kept warm! That looks cold!

Over the last couple years there have been several requests by patrons for climate (air or heat) controlled
cars on the C&TS, not yet, maybe some day.

Just what I suggested several days ago. And, boy, does 487's exhaust sound great. The Chama Shops did some great work getting it in time. A tip of the ole hat to the machinists.

Looking at the amount of snow above the plow when crossing 17 and at the top, 487 must have bucked some nice drifts from Coxo up to the Point.
