Puffing Through The Rockies

Built in 1880 and little changed since, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic

Railroad is the finest and most spectacular example of steam era

mountain railroading in North America. All comments are appreciated.

Cheers, Sondra

Early snow I think. Good colours, composition, and a great train. Best regards!

Hi, Sondra,

 

This is a great photo. You know it's really a shame that the old trains disappeared. A lot of photo opportunities are gone.

 

My grandfather worked as a mailman on the Bangor and Aroostook railroad (or Maine Central Railroad). I remember as a child going to the station and watching the old coal-burner roll in. Pretty impressive sight for someone who was about five at the time. All the trains look the same these days. No class.

 

Thanks for posting.

 

Best Regards,

 

Barry

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. Cheers, Sondra

Hi Sondra - lots of family stuff going on here lately ... will all be over tomorrow (!!) ... but for now there are sporadic opportunities to play on PN. :-) Anyway - this is cool because of the way the exhaust from the engine creates a strong line and good detail against the dreamy feel that you get from the snow. Nice!

Lou Ann thanks again for your input; you always have something nice to say. Cheers, Sondra

Sondra, This is simply superb! I love the feel the snow gives off with the steam. Plus I just love Steam Trains.

All the best,
