Steam & Excursion > C&TSRR = Big Horn "Y"Date: 09/16/17 07:11 C&TSRR = Big Horn "Y" Author: Wacky-roger1942 Over the years I have been asked numerous times about the Big Horn "Y". We got there early the other day so I did a drone look of the "Y".

The last time I was westbound on the train and the Conductor asked me "What is unique about this wye?" and I said "It has curves in it!"
He said "You are so right sir! A Winner!" Another fantastic video! Chris Date: 09/16/17 08:25 Re: C&TSRR = Big Horn "Y" Author: Wacky-roger1942 Mudrock Wrote:

The train went up the Y and westbound ran through the Big Horn siding to clear it.

Roger Hogan Chama, NM Train Stuff Date: 09/17/17 05:48 Re: C&TSRR = Big Horn "Y" Author: pilotblue Another nice one! The drone view works really well for a location like this. It gives the best perspective to someone who has not visited there, yet!
