This excursion will focus on many photo run-bys between Alamosa and the town of La Veta, Colorado including La Veta Pass. We will have a classic freight train consist using older cars. This is a great opportunity to see and photograph a time period freight train pulled by steam on La Veta Pass. It is not clear at this time which steam locomotive will be available to pull our train. If both locomotives are back in service then we will request to use one engine on day 1 and the 2nd engine on day 2.
DAY 1 SATURDAY MAY 2: (L) Our train will travel from Alamosa to La Veta. Many Photo run-bys will be stage in the La Veta Pass region. Lodging is included tonight in the small town of La Veta, Colorado. Later in the evening after dinner we will stage a night photo session.

| This will be a new twist to our 2008 La Veta Pass excursions. We have had quite a number of our railfans ask us to tie up the train at La Veta and return the Alamosa the next day. So, by popular demand this photo freight excurison will run from Alamosa to the small town of La Veta pulled by Alco No. 18 (Former number) and lettered Rio Grande for two days packed full of photo run-bys. Lodging will be at the La Veta Inn which is within walking distance of the railroad. In the evening we will have a night photo session. On May 4 we will reboard our charter photo freight and head back over La Veta Pass to Alamosa, again packed full of photo run-bys. This excursion is limited to 30 railfans only. |
