I found some long forgotten pictures I took of a Cumbres turn with the 493 and 497 back in October, 1966. This was after the RMRC trip and everyone went home, leaving the railroad to do its usual work. This was one of a number of runs I got to see. No photo lines, no mad dash car chases, unspoiled views of Windy Point, and the fall colors were just starting for real a few days later. Enjoy--
