North of the Chama, NM, yards, MP 343.6, is a beautiful 2 span truss bridge used by the C&TS RR crossing the Chama River. River and bridge are behind the Rio Chama RV Park. I love the Rio Chama RV park. Reasonably priced, easy walk, to boarding the train, with WIFI, nice rest rooms. Shaded tent sites. Rio CFhama RV park is listed in AAA camping guide. Movie sound track is a real time 10:00 AM train departing Chama for Antonito. 00:14 Whistle for departing Chama Yards. 00:29 Engine starts to move, audible chuff. 02:23 Smoke is seen. 02:57 Engine and train are visible and crossing the bridge. 04:45 Whistle for NM-17 road crossing. 05:00 Fire suppression speeder crosses Rio Chama. Footage from 3 days in June 2012 of 2 Antonito bound trains and one train pulling into Chama.
