I count this portrait view (vertically oriented photo) among my classic steam Kodachromes and i’ve published it in several books over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed it at Chama, New Mexico in September 1996 using my old Nikon F3T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was among many photos I\u2019d made on a big western trip with my old pal TSH..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its charms, that night we abandoned the Cumbres & Toltec to drive to Tennessee Pass to photograph Southern Pacific heavy freights on America\u2019s highest mainline grade the following morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time I had my doubts about leaving the narrow gauge steam, but SP\u2019s line was about to become Union Pacific and within a year traffic would be diverted elsewhere. Steam still rules on the narrow gauge but the rails over T-pass have been quiet for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
