Sky Railway Double Engine Train!

Sky Railway, formerly the Santa Fe Southern Railway, runs entertainment themed excursions from Santa Fe, New Mexico, toward Lamy. The railroad has two locomotives, SFSR 07, a GP-7u, and SFSR 93, a GP16 built in 1952. On April 13, 2024, both engines were in Santa Fe and 07 needed to be moved to Lamy for maintenance.
Instead of running it as light power, it was decided to run both engines on the regular Saturday afternoon train as far as MP 2 where 07 would be uncoupled and run light to Lamy while 93 shoved the excursion train back to Santa Fe.
We arrived in Santa Fe as the train was being assembled and watched it pass the famous Santa Fe Railyards water tower and head out of town. We caught it again moving through the beautiful landscape south of Santa Fe before stopping at the Galisteo overlook at MP 2. At the crossing of 285, just outside Lamy, we caught 07 making its way down the grade toward the village of Lamy.

Hello Thomas, an interesting railway, the Sky Railway, with a very nice dragon design of the locomotives and carriages. A very nice drive through this landscape, with very nice drone shots. Thank you very much for showing it and have a nice Sunday. best regards Wolfgang

Thanks, Ian. It's not narrow gauge, but it's still interesting.

Too bad the Acoma coach was down for maintenance when this doubleheader happened, it would have made it a much longer and nicer train.

[@YardLimit]

Thanks for the info. I was wondering where it was.

[@paulsturtz7638]

What's with maintenance in Lamy? Is there a shop there? Cool video, need more info!

[@YardLimit]

I'm sure there's no way to do anything in Santa Fe. Lamy has plenty of room. I've seen them change out a prime mover in Lamy. There's no shop but they contract with people that bring in whatever they need.
