Chama Steam 1 video - 2002

This video is significant since it was the last time that k27 463 and k37 497 ran on the Cumbres and Toltec before their flue time ran out. Neither is running today , though 463 may be getting close. A great chance to hear both , and enjoy doubleheader sounds. I was on that trip, as can be seen it was cold and snowing on Cumbres- this was near the end of October in the high country.

Jonathan,

Thank you for posting. Beautiful plumes!

Seemed like a very long train in the last shots coming into Chama, for a single engine.

At the time , it was the longest freight ever on the CATS. All down hill though, so a single k37 could handle it, biggest concern was enough braking.

Yep, brakes were my concern.

Thank You

Brings back memories of our trips to Chama.

I love the sound of the two mismatched engines working together!

Thanks! That is really great stuff! I already converted the soundtrack to mp3!

How much money you think a feller could make if he could figure a way to make our models smoke and steam like that?

I’d pay a lot!

Great video, Jonathan! Mahalo, braddah.

Jonathan,

Great video! Looked for you at ECLSTS.
