If I remember correctly (And I seldom do), 1151 made the last SG steam run on the Rio Grande in 1956, from Alamosa west. My SG video has the info, but I don't remember 100% for sure. My dad shot 1136 and 1161 in Alamosa earlier in 1956. Amazing Alamosa was the last stronghold of SG and NG steam. Its nice Chama and Durango still exist as steam mecca's today but Alamosa was the shop and center of all the incoming freight and link to the outside world.
