NNG Operating in the San Luis Valley
| October 17, 2018 09:54PM |
After the huge La Veta Pass fire and the damage to the San Luis & Rio Grande, there were questions if the lines were operating. Tuesday I found the San Luis Central operating at Sugar Junction just east of Monte Vista and two San Luis & Rio Grande ex-New Jersey Transit FP40s running light to pickup the loaded cars at Sugar Junction. I haven't seen a train on the Antonito line but I know there have been operations as cars have been moved.
