Actually, it has worked to my advantage. One trip to Raton and Trinchere Pass started each day with the Santa Fe shut down for maintenance, and the light shining beautifully on an abundance of trains between Pueblo and Trinidad. When the trains dried up on the BN for the morning, the westbound Chief would arrive, and the Santa Fe maintenance crews went for beans for a couple of hours. Santa Fe would run the Chief over the hill, then a couple of freights - again in perfect light. Then the MOW would go back to work, and the BN would crank up again with several trains between Trinidad and Twin Mountain, NM. Did this for a couple of days before heading west - into the clouds on Tennesse Pass.
