When was the last time Three K-37's were in steam at Chama? I am thinking 1967, cause I don't think 497 ran in 1968, only 493 and 498!!!
Have a bit of film where 497 made its first run from Alamosa after shopping, then helps 498, and next day 497,498, and 493 are all in steam at Chama. 498 goes west and 493 road engine east with 497 helper.
There is a cool scene of 497 running light, and stopping for water at La Jara(Wasn't this cause they didn't like Antonito water?). While at La Jara its neat seeing the youngsters watching as they pause from riding their bikes and so forth. I was thinking they didn't know it but there weren't too many more steam moves to come on this line from Alamosa.
