June 5, 1964

Cumbres Turn 492 & 487

492 eng E. Morgan, frm J Shawcroft
487 eng J. Lira, frm R. Weirick

called 1000am

Extra 492-487 East

487 eng E. Morgan, frm J. Shawcroft
492 eng J Lira, frm R. Weirick

called 200pm

It would interesting to know why the engine crews swapped engines. probably something to do with "first in, first out".....

another tid-bit: In 1964, 487, 492 & 493 were the most used engines on freight trains.
