Remarks: The 315 hauls 10 gondolas and a caboose up to Cumbres Pass from Antonito. This is a special photo run by with a photographers chase train running ahead of it. For a small engine it sure made a loud bark working those grades and it was surprising to see this engine pull this many cars with ease.
Remarks: A passenger train struggles to get to the top of Cumbres Pass. The loco slips its drivers at times, but finally makes it. The rest of the trip after that is downhill to Antonito. It is a very interesting 64 mile line on the border of New Mexico and Colorado. It is a worth while place to visit.
