Apox date of removal of track along the Chili Line.

In regards to the date supplied by Jerry Day of the Chili Line being dismantled for 108.42 miles on March 5, 1942 having removed all to mile post 300.515 at the summit just south of Volcano and using an average of removal, the following towns may have lost their tracks on or about the following date. This is based on an average of 0.73256 miles per day with a 6-day work week and beginning a week after Sept. 1, 1941.

We know the tracks were removed in the streets of Santa Fe in September, 1941, previously to this new labor report as above. Some variation can be expected from this average as the last week prior to March 5, 1942; they made 9.35 miles in that week, but they surely began much slower when the men began working.
