When was the Chama wye built? In early days, i't may have been easier for turning snow-plow trains and other work equipment - than one piece at a time on the turntable.
When was the turntable and most of the roundhouse at Chama demolished?
I note that the tail-track at the Cumbres wye is long enough for most of a snowplow train.
Was the balloon track used for turning work equipment?
Was there a wye at the Antonito depot?
How long since these questions were last asked?
