I just got some film transfered to video, and one was a reel I had not seen, but was described to me so I took a gamble on it.
It happened to be June 3-5 1968 freight action on the D&RGW. This was the same time our family was out there chasing. In the footage 478 hauls the first loads of
the season from Durango(Carbon Jct) to Farmington. In the 2nd or third shot in the background moving down the highway is our 67 Dodge pick-up with the camper on the bed.
How weird is that?
I also acquired some from another source with some interesting 16mm bits and pieces, including a hill-turn to Cumbres. Both engines headed to Chama from Cumbres, but the next train is not shown cause it was probably dark by the time they ran. This was 491 and 480(leading). Back to the other 1968 footage he had a neat sequence of 498 climbing the hill out of Durango slipping several times. I remember seeing it from down on the road as she nearly stalled. So more stuff to throw into the hopper. This is liable to be a boxed set before its done.
