Hopefully somebody else who knows much more than I do can tell us what is going on. Looks like some cars have bee set aside.

The cars are for the Moonlight Train tonight. D&RGW C-18 #315 (in Rio Grande Speed lettering) is said to haul the train, which will be departing Chama at 3:30 PM MST. If plans have changed for the road engine, then it might br interesting to see which engine will haul the train.

Ryan, sorry no. These went up this morning on 216 and one of the locomotives which formed the double header stayed up there to power this train from Cumbres to Antonito with the stop at Osier for drinks, diner and entertainment. The 315 is still peacefully sitting by the depot in Chama. The train leaves Cumbres at about 3:30 after the bus arrives from Antonito.

Thanks for the correction, Sharon. I was going by the schedule at the bottom of the main camera page.

Thanks Ryan and Sharon - I posted here to try and not mess up the flow of the day in Chama but saw later this was posted there as well. I guess doing it this way saves one trip up the hill?
