John,
Nice video. Thanks for documenting the trip.
I was on that train. Arrived the night before into Antonito for the Friends work session and took the bus to Chama that morning for the train ride back.
Here is a picture taken with my phone from the S curves.
One interesting item is that Stathi was the conductor. Apparently enough of the summer help had gone back to school by this time that the railroad was getting a bit stretched for manpower.
I never expected to see a video of this trip. Thanks again for sharing.
