Nearing the eastern foothills of the valley
A herd of elk scramble out of our way
At Fir, the passengers from the La Veta train greet us
Both trains together at Fir, Colorado

Nice looking consist of mixed railroad heritage
Just relaxing in the late morning sun!
Great views
Entering the east tunnel portal
Third generation railroader, Michael Shawcroft was our engineer
Michael Jameson, our conductor, was a man of many hats

Former SP engineer John Charles mans the fireman's seat
Steam actuated grease gun eases this labor intensive work
Paper work, paper work!
Changing hats again!
Small grease gun: Small fittings, natch,
West leg of the wye is now thrown: "Bring her to me"

Our cars will return to Antonito in reverse order
The afternoon storm hit hard! Engineer John took his time, prepard for flash flood conditions
