Steam & Excursion > Chama Time: A train of His OwnDate: 10/10/18 09:38 Chama Time: A train of His Own Author: BoilingMan That's TO member Stevo_W out on the rear platform of this deadhead freight. The full story is in the thread of my last post- "Rolling Out of Cumbres".
SR  Date: 10/10/18 10:58 Re: Chama Time: A train of His Own Author: Stevo_Weimario Wow, an unforgettable experience to be sure!
Some people are good, most are just lucky. I was just exceedingly lucky that evening... Thanks to everybody on the C&TS, the Friends of the C&TS and everyone who was a part of these great trips.

Tom Coughlin Stow, MA Date: 10/10/18 14:55 Re: Chama Time: A train of His Own Author: BoilingMan It held a lantern and is accessible from inside. I’m not entirely sure if it was used as a rear marker, or to signal the head end.
I suspect the latter, but I’ll let someone who actually KNOWS stuff to say... SR Date: 10/10/18 15:16 Re: Chama Time: A train of His Own Author: Bob3985 I believe that SR is correct in that the cupola lamp box was used as a marker in the early days.
