Okay here ya go.
Special photo freight leaves Antonito around 6 am Westbound.
Does runbys in the morning, and goes west of Osier meeting the Eastbound at Cumbres at around 11:30.
Freight turns at Cumbres to go back to Antonito, and meets the westbound passenger train at Osier or Los Pinos. Photo freight would back down around Windy Point and do runbys there, Tanglefoot, Los Pinos Tank, etc.
It would only be about a 100 mile charter train!!!
