I'm trying to determine caboose assignments for Durango-based DRGW freight Conductors in the mid-40s.
It looks like W. L. Bruce had 0505, Conductor Henry had 0587
and Conductor A. F. Lyons had 0540.
So far I'm having no luck matching up cabooses with Conductors Knight and R. S. Murray.
1940s photographs made in Durango suggest candidate cabooses are 0500, 0501, 0579 and possibly 0573.
(There is a reference in Jimmy Blouch's Alamosa Train Sheets to Conductor Duxstadt deadheading in caboose 0579 From Chama to Durango in the mid-thirties but no references to this conductor in the 1944-1945 train sheets.)
Any help would be appreciated.
