Back again . . .
Riding the caboose with two flats directly in front of it provided an unobstructed opportunity to actually get halfway decent photos of a train while actually riding on said train, following along at the same speed as the engine was going away:
The downside being that in all of the shots the train itself looks pretty much the same; only the surroundings vary somewhat:
OTOH, getting a Phraud-O-Graph™ of this particular shot might be a little expensive — even if the RR and the NM Dept. of Highways would allow the attempt:
From Lobato past Dalton and the S-curves, almost to Cresco (added at 8:30 p.m.):
(To be continued ... )
