During doubleheaders, helper locomotives must cross this bridge alone because two engines cannot be on the bridge at one time. Photo by Frank Shoop Jr. |

When we returned to Chama by bus, the #487 had a fire in her belly. Here she is the following day with a full head of steam. Shop employees were adjusting the pop valves. Photo by Frank Shoop Jr. |
 |
On our way to Georgetown, we stopped in Antonito to get a better look at some of the in-use EBT hoppers. This one's had a lot of work. Photo by Frank Shoop Jr. |
 |
The C&TS never installed full size couplers on these cars. They're using this coupler adapter. One of this same type came with one of the EBT cars FEBT purchased in 2002. Photo by Frank Shoop Jr. |

These cars are used often for ballast service. Photo by Frank Shoop Jr. |
