It was a slow day for the freight end of things, but #18 did her thing anyway...
Ready to head west in front of the depot..
We had 5 empty covered hoppers to give to the San Luis Central today. Here we are backing into the west leg of the wye at the SLC interchange at Sugar Junction.
While the conductor ties down the handbrakes, I have time for a pic or two....
There were no outbound cars off the SLC, so we returned to Alamosa empty handed - except for the coach with about 15 passengers. Here we are in downtown Monte Vista waiting to highball home..
