This video has some unusual material since the meat of the show centers around three trips: First we see an Engineer/Fireman school freight with engine 489 on a misty day complete with fog. This train operated from Chama to Cumbres and the sound in these conditions was really nice.
The second portion is another Engineer/Fireman School train, but this time it is 487 powering another freight for the “Advanced” engineer school train. We will see a bit of switching with this train at Cumbres. This train left very early from Chama, and produced some of the best lighting conditions for our entire trip with the low sun angles.
Next up is a segment is a rare scene, a light engine that needed to take over for an out-of-service locomotive.
br>The final segment is the final Sunset Train of the year on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. The idea is to leave Chama late in the afternoon once the regular train arrives and is turned, and then head to Cumbres. This train departs around 5:30 and on a clear day like we had some unusual lighting presents itself as the train works hard on the 4% climb to Cumbres. 487 does the honors on this one.

These a great shots of what goes on besides just regular passenger trains at this great steam tourist railroad. A must buy if you like watching trains go up Cumbres with freight cars original to the line and afternoon trains heading up the hill.
