Water Train at Arboles
| April 20, 2015 09:11PM |
An image from the old days. 484 eastbound passing through Arboles. I was never sure why or where this 2 cars of water and caboose were headed. We chased as far as Gato, where it stopped for water, and we stopped to get some drinks at Gomez's Store. Then we headed over the mountain and the main roads at Pagosa Springs. The pics are not great nor is the scan. This is all I got in 1966, but we would return again for three days in 1968.
