Sam,
"Durango to Colorado Springs" What I'm hoping to do is follow the north side of the NG Circle. Once I get to Salida I figure it doesn't matter too much any more how I get back the Springs. I'm hoping to see what there is to see and get to the Springs. This will be on a Friday, if it matters any.
"Anything to see in Chama" What I really meant (and should have said) is once the train comes in do they just put the engine away and go home or is there other stuff going on that I can watch? And will they let me watch it?
From what I've read in the past on this list it seems the C&TS is a lot more lenient on where people are allowed to go than the D&S.
Thanks,
James
