I stumbled upon an article about an artist who was inspired by a trip to ride the C&TS. The article opens with:

Quote
Dayton Daily News
Artist Cecilia Brendel and her husband, Michael, love trains and the Southwest. They combined the two when they embarked on a 64-mile day trip last October on the Cumbres & Toltec. It’s the highest and longest steam railroad in North America, and crosses the Colorado-New Mexico state line 11 times.

Their most recent trip out west sparked an idea for Brendel to do a series of oil paintings for an exhibit. “Southwest Series” will be shown at the Art Gallery at the Centerville Police Department throughout August.

Here's the link to the full piece:

The article is accompanied by a photo of the artist standing with some of her paintings, including two of C&TS.
