My findings on D&RGW Excursions

After looking at several DPL photos this is what I think happened.

1959 ( a couple of dates seemed conflicting here...was it 28-30th, or 29-31st of May??)

May 29th, 1959 476 Alamosa to Durango
May 30th, 1959 473 to Silverton and back..Edit-Found another shot where 476 helped Dgo-Rockwood
May 31st, 1959 476 Dgo to Chama where 498 was the helper up to Cumbres

1960

May 28. 1960 483 Alamosa-Durango (483 had no pilot plow for this trip)
May 29, 1960 473 Durango-Silverton and return
May 30, 1960 491 Eastbound from Durango to Alamosa, Got helper 476 Chama-Cumbres

The 473 scenes all have straight stack, but in 1962 trips photos it had the fake stack.

Someone emailed me that they thought my 483 fall color film clip was September of 1961. If we can determine that for sure, and what
the other legs of the trip were it would be helpful. What bothers me is we have 491 on the 1960 trip, but its with 473 at Lobato, not 476!!!
