Hey Gang,
It's been a few years since I've been down to the Cumbres and Toltec. I decided to rectify that over the 4th of July weekend this year. My fiancé and I chased on the 3rd and rode on the 4th. I didn't shoot a lot while riding, but I brought home some nice shots from the chase day. These were my favorite photos:Little Train Through a Big Land - Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad by Chris May, on Flickr

Chris, I was tempted to post a blank reply but I didn't figure that folks would see it means I was struck speechless. The clouds alone are awesome; the scenery and train scenes are frosting on a very rich cake.

Chris spoils us rotten....
We expect nothing less than excellence, and he delivers every time.

Beautiful mastery of light and composition!
The B&W of the two engines outside of Chama roundhouse remind me of Steinheimer photos.

Just one word...... WOW!
WOW is right. Those are beautiful and I thank you for sharing them with us.
While you were on the C&TS, I had other friends in Colorado, one on the D&S and the other in Colorado Midland country.Makes me sorry we skirted Colorado on our trip last month. But it never looks as good to me as yur pictures!

*Blush* Thank you all for the very kind comments!
Chris: the set of photos are truly those of the masters. I cannot think of any other description. How much for the set plus shipping and handling , as the saying goes. Thank you.

thanks for these wonderful photographs and for sharing your visit with us.
Chris, you're not just a master of light and composition, you're a master of time and space, every one of those shots is a time machine!
Well done Maestro!
