Thats the consist we got with 478. I think it was a few days later as I think it was like June 3-4-5. 478 went to Farmington with these loads, then switched and then went back to Durango with a bunch of box cars. 498 took the box cars the next day. 498 nearly stalled on the grade out of Carbon Junction!!! It was fun chasing with a truck camper. My brother and I shot out the back door along the road to Gato from Arboles. Then we headed for Pagosa and Chama for the night. Lasting memories. I have some slides around but they are not 35mm. How do you scan them...mounts are the same size as 35mm!
