More pix will be coming. I'm planning to visit the area again this weekend. I took some shots of No. 3 approaching from a distance, with a 35-80 MM lens, but they all came out fuzzy. I'm going to bring a 300 MM zoom and place it on a tripod, and try to get the same shots again. I'll also try to start just south of Trinidad, getting shots of the train as it goes 20-35 MPH up the grade.

Does the Southwest Chief always run with four engines?

I've always seen 4 on the head every time I've been in New Mexico. They may cut one off in LaJunta. Due to Raton Pass and Glorieta Pass.
