Re: Alamosa Steam (In late Spring, early Summer)

I got to ride twice, Jason -

Both times in late June, so my photos aren't as spectacular as yours.  On June 17, 2009, I rode all the way to La Veta; John West was there too:


On the way east we waited at the top of the pass for a westbound freight; #18 showed off her beautiful Jade Green jacket in the late morning sun:


Two days later #18 pulled the Mixed Train Daily(?) south to Antonito:


I returned three years later for the beer festival at Fir on June 23, 2012, and rode to the party with fireman Earl Knoob and engineer John Charles:


Earl was feeling very brave that day, and let me fire for a few miles:
