The new issue of Classic Trains page 69 contains a great story by a soldier who rode the "San Juan" into Durango in Oct, 1945 and was held up at about Carbon Jct. by a two engine 130 car empty stock train that was waiting for space in order to fit into Durango.
How many records are there of freights over 80 cars on the San Juan lines? This sounds like the largest ever run. That is awful good air cylinder maintenance on cars that sit idle most of the year. PRR
