Remarks & Notes

Homeward bound. The late afternoon shadows are rapidly swallowing up the high desert landscape outside Antonito, Colorado, as the Cumbres & Toltec's vintage 10-wheeler #168 brings her consist of historic coaches over the last mile of train toward the railroad's eastern terminus. The train is pictured roughly half a mile west of the Highway 285 crossing in Antonito, near Milepost 281.4.

This image was captured during an October 2024 photo shoot on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, which on this day featured the 1883 Baldwin Class T-12, 10-wheeler #168, which is one of the oldest steam locomotives in regular operation in the US.

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!)

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad are all that remains of the legendary Denver & Rio Grande Western narrow gauge system. Here you'll find some of my favorites from these two beautiful railways.
