What did the railroad crews call the jobs out of Chama. For example: Chama Extra 484 East with helpers that went to Cumbres pass and on to Alamosa. Also the West bound version like ALAMOSA Extra 480 West that went to Chama and terminated there? What were the Chama turn and Cumbres Turn or were those used by railroad employees?
