Re: K-28 on Cumbres - Scenes not Seen for Some Time ...

NOT 'The Mad Dash', but almost eight years earlier -

IIRC, the Iron Horse June Journey of 06/03-05/60 was sponsored as a fundraiser by the La Jara
Chamber of Commerce.  SFAIK, this was one of the last few times that a K-28 pulled a passenger
train over Cumbres Pass, since business had increased on the Silverton Train enough to keep the
K-28s in Durango for the entire season and thus unavailable for the annual Kiwanis Karavans and
other fall-colors charters.

Will a scene like this be possible in the next year or two?


Later in the afternoon, at Cumbres Loop (aka Tanglefoot Curve), and the curve at Coxo:




A Phraud-O-Graph of this scene between Dulce and Gato is a little less likely:


As would be a re-enactment of this shot climbing the old grade westbound into Arboles later in the afternoon:
