During the time extra 361-360 was working, "Federal inspector Green at Montrose called, advises against running 361-360 to Montrose as may get them tied up."

Arrive Montrose 2:00 PM
I am not sure how or where the spuds were, extra 361-360 makes no mention of them. They were at MP 333 at 12:30 PM and that may be the time they received notification not to go to Montrose, and took the spuds to Cedar Creek.
Crested Butte branch, Ouray branch, Silverton branch, and Farmington branch, no activity.
