Here we see 489 rolling out of Cumbres heading for Osier. Also note the trainman riding the back of the tender. I'm thinking he had the idea we would turn 489 here and back to Osier.
I followed 489 down to Los Pinos where, telephoto lens in hand I caught her swinging around the loop in a vista devoid of human habitation....
The next day 487 was on the train and I got her shuffling tank-first up the hill from Los Pinos Tank at MP 326.
I caught up with 487 as she crossed the fill over Cumbres Creek at MP 329
