Jimmy:
Does the record say what time the crew went on duty for the Rotary OM as based on the departure and arrival times from Alamosa & Chama they had just 40 minutes until the 16 hour law would take effect. On second thought after the day/night they must have had getting to Chama for a hot shower and a steak dinner probably trumped any union rule.
Extra west Rotary OM with 486-480
Depart Alamosa 2:30 AM
Arrive Antonito 4:10 AM
Depart Antonito 4:40 AM
Break flange on rotary at Lava Snow not bad struck 8 foot drifts Lava to Sublette, mostly on one side
Big Horn 7:35 AM
Sublette 8:50 AM
Arrive Osier 11:55 AM coal up
Depart Osier 1:00 PM
Arrive Cumbres 5:00 PM
Depart Cumbres 5:30 PM
Arrive Chama 7:50 PM
