Phabulous Phantom! The volcanic spires of Phantom Curve tower over a diminutive D&RGW C-18 Consolidation as she slowly plods westbound with a train of empty stockers headed for Chama. This location is arguably one of the most spectacular photo spots on the run from Antonito to Chama. There are many vantage points from which to shoot and all kinds of available angles, depending upon how many people you are with....and how brave you are!
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.
