I have not looked at the Alamosa train website and I have not seen anything posted here, but what is the status of the tourist train and the possibility of steam returning to Alamosa. I thought when they started using steam on La Veta Pass that it would be short lived for the same reason steam was replaced by diesel. Maintenance of steam is time consuming.
