"Salida extra west with engine 496 (Valley line) has the Conductor Perschbacker. There was an Oscar Perschbacker who was a conductor on the C&S South Park line." (Jim McKee)

If I remember correctly, it seems there were at least 2 Perschbachers working for the Grande, and one, if not both, came from the South Park line. A Perschbacher was working as conductor on the Salida to Minturn run in the late 1950s. In fact looking at a senority roster for 1966 I see a L P Perschbacher with a date April 28, 1936.
