Description
Brakeshoe smoke envelopes the train as it curves around the bend on the Monarch Branch of the Rio Grande railroad in the late 1960's. The train is descending a 4% grade with limestone loads trying their best to let gravity take it's pull. The brakes are all that keeps this train from running away. The Conductor keeps a close eye on things from his view in the cupola.
