I'll second both those motions, Olaf -
Including Herb's insinuation that you are the new Otto Perry of the D&S!! I really like the realistic colors of skin and sky, and the fact that you include a lot of the surroundings in your photos; it gives context to your shots and reminds us that the train is actually going somewhere, not just running on a closed-in loop hemmed in by roller-coasters and merry-go-rounds as in the much-appreciated early shot in the first set. VERY well done!

p.s. Per our discussion two days ago, I think you better have your telephoto lens checked out — it's still trying to tilt a few of your shots a bit to the left . . .
pps. Or maybe it's your monitor — is it tilted to the right just a hair, 'cause your house is sliding down the hill toward Ridgway? I hope not. Anyway, as a quick check that works for lots of photos, when you are scrolling down to the next one line up the loco's pilot with the top of the screen and even a minute tilt will be obvious . . .
