Excitement in Chama

This was the scene this afternoon of the fire on one of the trestles along the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. The fire started sometime last night. When this picture was taken the authorities were seen investigating the cause. Needless to say, there is a lot of speculation around town as to how it started.

I do wish I could have gotten closer but I didn't want to try my luck.

All in town are hoping the railroad will get it repaired quickly, Chama relies on the tourists who come to ride the train and shop in the local businesses.
