Great pics Jerry, thanks for chasing and posting. Hopefully a few colors are left nest weekend when I ride the Cascade Express. Quick question, do they remove the big US and Colorado flags for the run to Durango, or have they stopped carrying them on 493? Another quick question, last July on the train one of the employees mentioned they were hoping to use another locomotive on the run to give 493 a break. Is it still dry and they need to keep running an oil burner?

Thanks again for the pics.
