The last train to run on the RGS was pulled by the 464 and had two covered flat cars of automobiles. Again my memory has sputtered out. I don't remember whether the autos went to Mancos or Dolores.
The last train on the north end, pulled by the 461, ran about a month earlier. This was when the 461 was frozen to the track at Rico thanks to water leaking from the locomotive.
