more early 50's Durango pics
| March 17, 2018 12:51PM |
Hi guys,
Over on the somewhat hijacked "Narrow gauge gon with dual gauge couplers (1032?)" I posted some pics showing the results of a train wreck on the Farmington branch. Those pics were taken by the uncle of an old friend during a trip from Alamosa to Durango in the early 1950's. I think I have posted these some years ago, but for those who missed them, here goes.
As best I can recall, smarter guys than me were of the opinion these were taken during the summer of 1953.
Cheers,
Matt Hutson
