Charters & Chasers
The trains unlimited charter, 7th year left Chama yesterday and will return today. I was watching the number of chasers with their camera & video gear, when the train left there was almost a traffic jam of chasers chasing the train. I expect today there will be as many following it back to Chama.
I couldn't help but wonder how many of the chasers went up to the gentleman that organized and paid for the charter and offered him a few bucks, before they took advantage of his train.
What percentage of people do the right thing and give a few bucks to take pictures of a private charter??????
Since I didn't take the man any money, I didn't take any pictures of his train.
