Lobato Trestle under Construction

As the season approaches, the staff of the Cumbres & Toltec is under strict deadlines to finish the repairs on the damaged Lobato Trestle outside of Chama, New Mexico. The rebuild required the building of a temory road and the hiring of a constuction company to replace a few metal girders that were badly damaged in the fire nearly a year ago. The restructed bridge will bring hightened prosperity to the town home towns of the railroad, Chama, and Antonito. The Bridge is expected to be finished sometime in early May. As soon as completed, the railroad can move its eastern terminal from Cumbres, Colorado back to Chama, New Mexico, some 14 miles.
