You can probably figure the answer to that on your own with a little math work. First figure the time of departure, and the time of arrival in Chama. Thats your starting number. Figure it takes about 6 hours to go over the railroad, maybe a little less, but thats a good starting point and allows for a little extra time for meets, etc.
Then figure one hour stop at Osier for everyone to have lunch. Then whatever hours you have left will be for photo runbys. Figure 30 minutes for each with on and off the train, backups moves etc. Then you will have your number, or within plus or minus 10% as this is not 100% scientific. I remember when I assisted John Craft with his 5 day extravaganza he budgeted 15 minutes per runby and found out quickly that was not going to work in reality.
