The Antonito Turn special-Once a Week/Month
How about a train that runs from Chama to Antonito and back on the same day? Start in Chama at 9:15 AM. Meets the other trains Then head to Antonito. While in Antonito have a little bit of a layover/newcrew and dinner while the train turns around and then go back to Chama in the sunset!
Or you can plug in a second value. Build 2-3 cars with dinning capibilites. Maybe two cars with tables/chairs and one cook car. Have lunch and dinner on the Train and start later. Either limit ridership to what those cars could handle, or have alternate eating times. These cars would also work for Moonlight trains.
