Thanks, SR -
I was in Denver a few days earlier, and found out from the dispatcher on August 27 that the last freight out of Alamosa would be on August 28. I'm pretty sure Ernie knew several days in advance, as he had the whole week off work and had chased the eastbound out of Durango on 08/28 while I was chasing the westbound out of Alamosa. (See [
ngdiscussion.net] et seq.)

p.s. Ernie will be sending me the last of his 1968 negatives in the next few days, so look for more photos around Thanksgiving
