The train is passing the relocated village of Arboles and the new village water tower
Ernie again drove ahead and caught the train at the Allison depot
Some three miles further west, Ernie took this photo of the train near Tiffany.
From Tiffany the narrow gauge descends 4.6 miles down the roadless draw of Spring Creek to the Los Pinos river crossing and the La Boca water tank.
OK, so this is a throw away shot, but it does show the approach to the La Boca tank after crossing the Los Pinos river bridge
483 at the La Boca tank
