Not to long ago I read that double heading down hill is a no-no. last evening I was watching some video tapes with Railfan Kevin Williams, who pointed out that the river beside the track out of Durango was flowing the same direction as the double headed train, downhill. the date was 1963 or 1966. When was this accident that changed all that?
