The D&S Winter Photographers Special....again and again

I know this is somewhat old news and one or two of the pix may have been posted previously, but here are a few more pix of first the D&S Valentines Special last Saturday, and then the Photographers' Winter Special on Sunday. Having run the pix through Photoshop I have to do something with them.

1. Valentines Special in the Animas Valley. I'm not a big fan of all the development in the vally, but some new roads up the west side slope provide some "aerial" views.

2. Valentines Special at the 550 overcrossing. The 1:30 p.m. departure from Durango allowed the sun to swing enough to the west to get some light on the side of the train.

3. On Sunday the 473 was turned at Rockwood and the train switched so that it could be shoved north in order to provide more photo ops with the sun on the front of the engine. Here our brakeman patiently waits for help to throw a frozen switch.
