Since there's nothing worth posting from my recent outings around St. Louis, and this Flickr account ain't paying for itself, here's one more from my last decent trip away from home.
Colorado Pacific Rio Grande's (CXRG) Walsenburg Turn climbs a small rise and into Ft. Garland, CO after completing its westward passage over La Veta Pass and through the adjacent foothills. The train ran a few hours later this day, making for some nice afternoon lighting, free of the clouds that hampered similar efforts a couple days earlier. From this point on, the train has a relatively straight and flat run all the way in to Alamosa, making for a quicker pace than its 10-25 mph transit of the Pass.
