USA - The steam loco 484 of the Cumbres & Toltec Railway
Posted: 27 Jan 2011, 20:16
In the late summer of 1998 I spend my holidays in the USA at a reader trip of the "Eisenbahnkurier". This was a special trip because it was announced to visit some railways in the USA. It needed not long then I decided to book this journey.
We were a groupe of 20 or thirty people when the journey began. If you believe it or not, 10 of us meet almost every year yet. And at this journey we became really good friends.
On the August 26 we were in Antonito where one terminus of the line Antonito - Charma is. The other terminus is - yes, you're right - in Charma. After we had breakfast in the "Narrow Gauge Railroad Inn" - see picture of the sign of the motel below, we spend the time at the depot where they already prepared the 2-8-2 No.484 for the trip, until the trip began. Here are some pictures of the loco.
