Thanks, Greg -

I must have mis-interpreted Ernie's book; there were five revenue freights from Alamosa
in 1968 - One in late May, two in early June, and one each in July & August - plus the
April break-in run of the two K-28s and the non-revenue December equipment move.

Also - per a fellow Curmudgeon - #473 arrived in Chama from Durango on October 9^th, still in drag from her appearance in a different movie from #483 and missing her fake "diamond" stack (which #483 was still wearing), and continued on to Alamosa on October 10^th.

- Russo
