Remarks & Notes 
Another old Anscochrome saved by Photoshop. The headbrakeman takes water prior to the Farmington turn leaving Farmington for Durango. The Farmington tank was notorious for bad water, but apparently they needed some water to make it to the next tank at Bondad.

Pictures of things often unseen in the world of railroading. Interesting equipment, operations, and people that help the railroad go around.

The DRGW narrow gauge was the last major steam operation in the U.S. The climb over 10,000 foot Cumbres pass was spectacular, with two engines handling 70 car trains. Hopefully these images convey some of the drama of mountain steam railroading.
