Re: Going to Chama in early October, what to expect?

Safety glasses are on the list. I'll be bringing some to fit over my glasses.

We look at historic photos and get a glimpse into an era when safety was not so obvious a consideration as it is today. Much of the technology which is now commonplace (hard hats, day-glow & reflective everything, etc.) did not exist or had not yet been adopted when the D&RGW was still running the line. Sympathetically adapting a historic atmosphere to contemporary safety standards can be a challenge. Fortunately, the impression I've gotten from the C&TS is that safety is a very high priority, but they are practicing it such a way that it is effective without compromising the interpretation of the history.

Safety first,
