During my trip to Colorado in 2023 to chase steam we stayed in Alamosa for the Cumbres and Toltec portion of the trip. On October 18th, 2023, I captured this view of BUGX (ex-BNSF) power and coaches sitting in the Colorado Pacific Rio Grande Railroad (SL&RG) yard there.

Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge steam locomotive D&RGW 476 pulls out of Silverton, Colorado on the early morning of October 17th, 2023, as D&RGW 476 waits to follow it. They were running on the line as a K-28 100th Anniversary Special between Silverton and Durango, Colorado for another day of running a photo charter special.
