Camera is mounted on the back of the helper engine’s tender. The train has to stop to proceed one engine at a time to cross 100-ft deep Wolf Creek on Lobato trestle. The trestle was rebuilt this past spring after it burnt down in June 2010. At the summit of the pass the road engine, #487, takes on water while the helper is cut off to return light to Chama. This is railroading as it was done 3/4 of a century ago and in summer or fall is not to be missed.

The videos are by Roger Hogan who works for the RR.
