I have been waiting for this to get on our website, but if the ticket office has info and is selling tickets, I guess I'll pass it on....
August 26 (Thurs), 2010 in conjunction with D&S Railfest and C&TS 40th Anniversary Celebration, the SLRG will be operating a photographer's special from Alamosa to La Veta and return.
Consist will be 100-year-old #18 and an all heavywieght consist of lounge car, 2-3 open window coaches and open observation car "Lookout Mountain".
Train will depart Alamosa at 700am returning about 700pm. There will be numerous photo runbys - as many as can be accomodated. I would guess at least 4 runbys each way - 8 in total. If there is time and other details can be worked out, we will run east of La Veta toward Walsenburg where 18 has only ventured once before.
Fare is a very reasonable $58.00 which includes a box lunch. Snacks and beverages will be available in the lounge car.
one of the possible runby sites (ignore the dome car). We will be here later in the day and the sun will be more on the front of the engine (I hope).
