Hey all,
Here is a photo I took of the K-27 Mudhen and K-36 outside the Chama roundhouse in 2001. If you haven't had the chance to ride this "Real" narrow gauge RR, you are missing a once in a lifetime chance. One can run wild through the yards, engine house, etc. without any hastle from the crew. The only rule is, "Don't step on the rail". Of course, one must always keep safety in mind. This 6 hour train ride can not be compared with any other in the US or maybe the world. I have ridden the Durango & Silverton - is okay, some nice scenery in places, however, one can not even sneeze without permission. I do love the Georgetown Loop (got a ride in #14 one year). Being a native Coloradoan, narrow gauge is in the blood.
