Hi,

Thanks for the detailed info.

This sort of strange (to eastern tenderfoots) are what draw me to the west. I enjoy the east side of Cumbres to Osier as much as the west side and always try to ride both sides.

If you want the locos working hard and like green only Depart Chama. If you want to see the change from arid to high "semi-alpine"(?) woods, ride the east end. Both are wonderful to me.

Most tenderfeet do not like the desert and do not like the east end. Oh well, to me that's their loss.

I got my love of the "wild" west from Mom. She lived within 5 miles of where she was born until she was 24. Her family was PRR and she seldom traveled outside of the Harrisburg/Philly/Baltimore. She passed her passion to me. My sister missed it
