480 and 481 along river at Elk Park, 8-17-2019
| August 17, 2019 06:08PM |
With a beautiful day in the San Juan Mountains, James Parfrey and I decided to hike the Colorado Trail to a viewpoint overlooking Elk Park and the Animas River.
480 brought the first train of 11 cars up the canyon. In the vast scope of the mountains, the train is marked mainly by it's smoke plume.
45 minutes later 481 came into Elk Park with the second 11-car train about 12:45 pm. After noon time thunder boomers on the day before, this turned out to be a happily uneventful weather day.
