A new photo location for me. It's around a mile or so above Los Pinos Tank

I was hoping to get both Geese in this photo, but #7 was running slower than #5

I got back to Cumbres Pass to discover that the double header had arrived. Conductor Ray Gonzales is on the foot plate of helper #489, ready to pull the pin.

#489 is now on the passing siding, and will soon head for the wye.

Engine #484 departing 'the Pass'. I first rode behind that engine in 1971

Meanwhile, back in Chama, engines #463 and #315 are standing by. LOTS of smoke was blowing in front of the engine house.
DSC7576
The time is 4:29pm and Westbound Train #315 has been turned by #387 and sits in front of the Chama Station. Engine #315 is getting ready for an evening departure.

I put my work gloves on and helped select the right size coal for #315
DSC7589
#315 is heading for "the Pass" with 5 freight cars that will remain there for the next days activities.

It's amazing how much interest this extra movement creates. Engine #315 is exiting "the Narrows".
DSC7596
The hoghead had his hands full with C-18 #315 It does not look like much of a grade coming thru the Narrow, but she was maxed out and 'slipping down' a lot. Very deceptive.
