I've ridden several moonlight trains out of Chama over the years, but have never even heard of a run out of Antonito (although one return to Antonito didn't get back till near dark;-).
Has anybody ridden through the gorge and down to Big Horn at night? I'd think the creosote and rabbit brush would look pretty nice, especially with the wide open views of the eastern end.
Two parlor cars, an open gon, some good friends, and 463 chuffing along... ... just the thought makes my heart flutter.
I wonder what a night run from chama through to antonito would cost?
Tom
