As daylight fades away on Santa Fe's Raton Pass, both Amtrak Trains No. 3 and 4 have completed their daily journey across Raton Pass leaving behind empty rails and a cold and abandoned New Mexico desert. It'll be approximately 18 hours before Santa Fe's T-2 semaphore signals will see tomorrow's Amtrak Train No. 3, the westbound Southwest Chief.
This is dedicated (with permission) to the skilled and gifted photographer - Chase Gunnoe - who regularly posts and is on staff with RP. I believe he deserves a gallery showcasing his remarkable photos. This is for you Chase! (More great photos to come!)
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
