Thats the sort of thing the current operators ought to try once in awhile. Heck they could run it with a small freight up freight like you said, then turn it into a special photo freight back to Chama or something like that. Charge $100.00 for riders to do the photo freight. Turn the loco at Cumbres, then back the freight behind the passenger train to around Los Pinos and spend the afternoon working back to Chama. A work train special like that would be cool.
There's a job at the C&TS I would enjoy..."Specials Organizer". Notice I did not say "Sponsor"!
