 Crossing a trestle on the Cumbres&Toltec RR.
The engines have to cross one at a time because two of them together weigh over 1/2 million lbs or about 240,000 kilos.
The railroad head is at Chama New Mexico. The trip takes 10 hours and covers a 64 mile track across amazing terrain.
Shot from the front walkway of the first passenger car, using monopod and self timer to get the POV.
