This is an actual mixed revenue freight with passengers. They would run down from Alamosa in the morning, detrain passengers to the Cumbres & Toltec and work locally until the passengers' return, then head back to Alamosa. #227 is a former F40PH now refitted as a mate (slug) to #459.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
