Double Engines for Cumbres Pass! - Chama, NM © 1998 Rusty Lopez

On a trip through the Southwest a few years ago we stopped to see the Cumbres & Toltec Narrow Gauge train leave its station in Chama, NM. Cumbres Pass, a few miles outside of town, peaks out at over 10,000 feet. To get this particular set of cars over the grade they need to employ the use of two steam engines.
