I know. Every time 401 subs for Camp Bird on #315/316, I'm surprised to see Camp Bird back, I keep waiting for it to go to Alamosa for upgrading to Chama.

403 was last used (on #315/316) on Sep 9th, 1936. has now come out as Alamosa.
Pagosa was last used (on #115/116) on Oct 16/17, 1936. I assume it's in the shop becoming Durango.

I assume Durango & Silverton will go in soon to emerge as Gunnison & Salida in April.
