It's time for another 'wild goose chase' as one of my neighbors calls it! The Geese spent the night bedded down at Cumbres Pass, along with Freight Special #315. Here we see the Geese backing into the wye, to face east in preparation to follow Freight Special #315 to Big Horn.

The passengers of both the Special and the Geese were dropped off at the top of the curve, where they formed a 'photo line' to photograph and video the action on the curve. They will now climb back on board to continue this odyssey

The "Narrow Gauge Rendezvous" was a three day event in which the riders paid $759 each for this unique experience. Most photo runbys were done further down the canyon, away from Highway 17.

Unable to follow the Special down the canyon, I retreated to the west side of Cumbres Pass to catch the regular morning Train #216 East.

Later, I found Freight Special #315 had picked up Pile Driver OB. A light rain had been falling and Engine #315 was having a hard time with the extra weight of OB. I wondered if she would have to double the hill.

Well, It's the little engine that could. The time was getting late and I wanted to get back to Chama for a social gathering of old time railroaders. I couldn't wait to hear their stories and taller tales.
