``Extra 493 west depart Poncha Jct 2:35 PM''
Jimmy,
Would this be Poncha Pass?
Also, it looks like the Marshall Pass trains didn't have anything pressing for the Valley as they arrived after the Valley line train left Mears Junction.
The Marshall Pass movements still didn't get all of the Gunnison freight into Salida. There was still a heavy grade into Poncha Junction. The Valley line train could pick those up on its return to Salida the following day, depending on how much freight it had.
Was the 60-car rul in effect on eastbound movements over Marshall Pass?
