Description

Colorado and NM Line, Cumbres Pass, 10,700 feet. Update 2/2010: Black and white print showing a very long train pulling multiple flat rail cars and oil tankers through a deep mountainous area. A high overlook is seen at top right with a car parked and a person standing at overlook edge. Engine has dark smoke plumes emanating from engine smoke stack. Foliage covers all visible hills. Written on back in blue ink: "Colorado & New Mexico Line. Cumbres Pass. 10,007 Feet." Good condition. Writing on back impacts the top emulsion. There are multiple tiny circular indentions, small cracks, wrinkles. When viewed with magnifier emulsion appears as though it had been sandblasted resulting in minute pits.
