Last revenue operation over Cerro Summit occurred May 28 1949.
Activity that day included moving dead engine 454 from Gunnison to Montrose.

2 years ago, during May 2018, I posted daily operations for the month of May 1949 as shown on dispatcher trains sheets.
I can bring up that info by doing an advanced search using "May 1949" and using Jimmy Blouch as author.
