Some questions are just too stupid. I usually try and lurk long enough for the answer to become obvious, but this one has never made itself perfectly clear in over a year of lurking. I am almost too embarrassed to ask, but here goes .... what exactly is a Cumbres Turn? Am I correct in assuming that the grade out of Chama was such that it would take multiple trips up to build a consist that could be handled as one train from there to Antonito and beyond? Or am I all washed up? Red faced for the holidays.
