Well....After a couple of weeks delay (something to do with paperwork... ) Ol' Blue finally made it to Texas, with its load of mesquite firewood...
Since it was somewhat behind schedule, it was quickly unloaded, and sent on its way to pick up goods needed by several clients of the LC&P...

Here it's leaving the yard at Santa Rosa on its way to load at Portales...


First stop....Portales...Loading goods and mining supplies at the local freight station bound for the El Diablo mine, and Sta. Rita freight..


With #811 on the point, Ol' Blue labors up the grade to the El Diablo mine..


Here it's spotted for unloading at the mine..


Wasting no time, it was picked up by an Extra out of Sta. Rosa and quickly delivered to the Sta. Rita freight station..


Once unloaded, freight was loaded for it's next destination. It'll be picked up by the next local, and sent on its way to Louisiana...
