Interesting video, thanks for posting.

I pretty much "walk" the yards every time I go to Chama. There is a lot of Rio Grande History there.

I will say, in my younger years, I have been known to run* from the parking lot to the wye to get a shot of the switching activities. And yes, I can attest to the length of the yards!!!

* Run is a strong word; maybe more of a swift trot....
