In review of photos on the Chili Line I question some photos in the book “Chama, Cumbres and a Little Chili”. A photo on page 145 is showing engine #70 on a wye where the caption reads “the wye on the La Madera branch near Taos Jct. by R. Welch”. The caboose and empty log cars are on another leg or the wye, and in the distance there looks to be loaded log cars on the 3rd leg in rough country. #70 was an engine that worked on the Pagosa Lumber Company and purchasd by them and the caboose looks like the unit the Pagosa Lumber Co. owned.
Also, on the bottom of page 151, the photo of the “….lumber mill at La Madera…” is actually the mill at South Pagosa Springs, Colorado, and another copy can be seen at the Denver Public Library web site. This is the mill the #70 operated to serve.
