Remarks & Notes |
Eastbound at Big Horn. A D&RGW Mudhen drags her mixed freight consist around the sweeping curve just west of the Big Horn Wye, near MP 299. Although westbound freights of any significant length often had helper engines when passing this location on the climb to Cumbres Pass, the eastbounds could typically handle large cuts of cars with just a single locomotive, since they were just drifting much of the time on the descent to Antonito. |
