Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter...
While it's not the winter, we're under the full moon of a Rocky Mountain summer, albeit, one hidden by monsoonal moisture. Here we see Cumbres and Toltec K-36 487 pull up to the water standpipe at the summit. Ahead, 14 miles of 4% grade to descend in the darkness to Chama.
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!)
