The 1949 RMRRC trip through the Black Canon ran from Gunnison to Cimarron, then back to Gunnison. This was done Memorial Day weekend of 1949 just prior to abandonment. The Silver Vista was in the consist.

The trip was done the day after a two-day RGS trip from Ridgway to Lizard Head and return trip that overnighted in Telluride. The RGS trip was on May 28-29. The Black Canon trip was May 30.
