Durango switch engine engineer John C. Basher was born circa 1865 in Pennsylvania. He was in his early 70s on this date. It became a tradition for the switch engine hogger to last into his 70s at Durango. Successors Owen House and John Dieckman followed the trend.
Mr. Basher's wife's name was Mary. His fireman's date was 12-5-1890. He was promoted in 1899. He also lived in Chama and in Pueblo, CO.
