On the main track in Trinidad, this northbound BNSF coal empty gets a very quick crew change! Engineers talk briefly before switching rolls. The crew that just got off will be bussed to La Junta to wait for a train to take home to Amarillo. The new crew will take the train north to Denver.

Both my daughters are well-prepared (fingers in ears) for the Airchime K5LA horn that this Amtrak P42DC is equipped with!

The only regular visitor to Raton Pass is Amtrak's Southwest Chief, seen here. The train just passed underneath the Twin Peaks Sub and will soon make its station stop in Trinidad.

An ES44AC is being moved from the old C&S Yard down to the old ATSF Yard in Trinidad. The unit is going to take the first non-Amtrak train over Raton Pass in over six months!

BNSF's Twin Peaks Sub crosses over the seldom-used BNSF Raton Sub about two miles south of the old C&S Yard in Trinidad. This manifest is headed there for a crew change.

This is one of those shots that I didn't give a whole lot of thought to at the time, but I really like it a lot. A New Image GEVO leads a northbound coal empty toward the yard in Trinidad.

This northbound BNSF coal empty is about seven miles south of Trinidad. Once in the yard, it will receive a new crew and continue north to Denver.

Raton (BNSF) Amtrak
Even though there is almost no light left, I went ahead and grabbed this shot of the Southwest Chief descending the grade off Raton Pass. As of the time of this picture, this was the first time I'd shot an Amtrak train other than the California Zephyr...When taking that into consideration (and not know how much longer Raton Pass will even be around), I thought it was worth taking the shot.
