The train arrives in west Raton New Mexico and makes a short stop at the tower. Departing Raton, the train works its way over the pass, climbing the steep 3.5% grades on the New Mexico side and then descends down the Colorado side towards La Junta Colorado.

No narration, no music, just watching trains go by. Enjoy!
