Both the curve the train has just left (not visible) and the curve it will immediately be entering are restricted to 75 MPH in the timetable. The curve is 1.50 degrees and in 1995 the Santa Fe had 3 1/2 inches of superelevation on it. Date: 01/13/20 17:41 Re: O train on Raton sub Author: DivergingClear Great shot, thanks! Are Amtrak crews the only ones qualified between La Junta and Trinidad nowadays?

YUP No C&S shots. Didn't chase it. BNSF has a few still qualified LaJunta to Trinidad. Still run trains across that portion. |
