I was taking a nap this afternoon when I heard the scanner squawking about a work train on Cumbres Pass with an unfamiliar number. Dashed up to Cumbres and found Marvin and Carlos looking tired and dirty, waiting for the bus back to Antonito.
Over on the siding... See the picture below
Some folks who saw it coming up the hill said it belched black smoke like a steam engine, and could go almsot as fast as a man can walk.
