Antonito
24th September 2007
We hired a car
in Santa Fe and drove to Antonito via the Rio Grande Gorge. We planned to spend
a few days here to travel on and photograph the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic
Railroad, which runs 64 miles from Antonito, Colorado, to Chama, New Mexico, via
Osier, where the trains cross and a lunch break is taken, and the Cumbres pass,
a little over 10,000' above sea level. A single journey from end to end
including the lunch break takes a whole day so passengers have the option to
either change trains at Osier or travel throughout. A bus is laid on to return
passengers to their starting point. The following pictures were taken at
Antonito in the evening, 484 having worked in from Chama.
