Chama Sojourn
Author: SandingValve

After a great time in Durango and Silverton it was time to make the pilgramage to Chama. This would be my 3rd time through the 'time machine' in Chama, NM. It was nice to see some familar faces that were still working for the C&TSRR. This is one railroad that deserves a place near the top of any railfans "see before it's gone" list. It was definately a treat to see three vintage steam engines hot with a fourth locomotive to be ready soon.

I was impressed with the operations under the new management and felt pretty good about dropping a few dollars in their coffer to help them along.

Nice photos - the one you identify as Toltec Gorge is actually at Phantom Curve (MP 312.3). Toltec Gorge is best viewed from the west portal of Rock Tunnel (MP 315.2). Here's C&TS #497 emerging from Rock Tunnel in September 1999.
