Steam & Excursion > Chama in the Dark

I also got to photograph the Chama enginehouse before dawn the other day, seems like everyone has been there recently (a good thing).

This photo is dated and fails the test of time because of the white pole pocket.

Well, the paint inside the pole pockets on the snow-plow equipped locomotive is "silver" (or bright aluminum). So, you are saying the D&RGW did NOT have "silver" pole pockets on snow-plow equipped locomotives "back it the day"?

Looks like a great photo of the 487&88 in Chama to me, and I'd guess this was pretty much the intent.

Nailed it, Ed!

Excellent photo. If you don't like someone's photos here, move on and keep the nit picky comments to yourself.

Your ignorance of manners & total lack of respect for one of the best photographers on the entire website is truly off the chart!

Actually, I took it as somewhat tongue in cheek, so no big foul. But you will give me a big head if you compliment my photos too much. Thanks all for looking.

So long as it's constructive, nit picky is a good
characteristic for a railfan site.

Granted, Ed did not suggest this was a photo from
the 1950's, but those facts - if accurate are inter-
esting and even educational. And for those attempt-
ing to take nostalgic images, or set up photo
charters, advantageous to point out for future
charters.

Nice shot, Ed!

Wonderful photo!
I've wandered down to the yard for night shots before, but never in the early morning hours.
Hmmm, another reason to get up earlier...

P.S. Nice meeting you at Laws a few weeks back. But shouldn't you be ABQ Ed now?

I think I shall change my handle real soon. It will be "Albuquerque Ed". Changing handles is difficult. One tends to get used to them. When I flew in the Navy I was "Fast Eddy", that one from 1965 stuck for years, but, alas, was usurped by too many others.

Well the question is out there isn't it? Silver pole pockets on snowplow equipped locos or not?
I don't really pay that close attention to those details. Its a terrific photo!
