Re: non-scheduled C&TS extra trains

Transcript from the Commission video:

Regular trains from May 24 to October 19 - 149 consecutive days with 2 trains each = 298 regular trains
Sunset Dinner Trains - 10 trains carrying 894 passengers
2 Pre-season charters out of Antonito
2 Multi-day charters out of Chama
1 Post-season multi-day charter out of Chama
5 Engineer/Fireman schools
20+ steam powered work trains
18 days of Cinder Bear Trains

Total - 350+ trains operated in 2015.

Interesting notes:
15 trains were double headed during the season including two on Opening Day - one from Antonito and one from Chama

Total passenger count is 33,000+ which is down 2.5% from the previous year.

No trains were cancelled during the season, and only four engine failures were noted.

On Time Performance (arriving within 10 minutes of schedule):
Antonito - about 80%
Chama - about 90%
Antonito on-time performance should increase once some of the slow orders have been repaired through upgraded track work.

Hope this helps

Bob
