What is the purpose of swapping engines in Chama? I understand larger power might be needed on Cumbres during winter storms to bust thru the drifts.

Even though "currently" there are no winter storms on the pass, there still was plenty of snow on the ground. Any wind conditions would create drifting at various locations and it would be necessary to use engines with plows.
