The 1962 relocation was from MP 398.65 to MP 405.87, with the west junction being at 409.75 by way of the longer relocation. There was also a slight change made at near MP 406. This is based on info in the March 1961 Iron Horse News (and Chronicle of Significant Railroad Events).
The first two pix are at the east end of the relocation, last at "new" Arboles near the west end. I believe the coordinates of the east end of relocation are about 37.015438, -107.313230 comparing the first and second pictures with Google Earth, but it is tough to tell for sure.
