The "Dead Tree Overlook" on the Road to Osier - August 1968
| July 20, 2020 07:54PM |
Yesterday Russo Loco posted same gorgeous fall color photos taken on a trip with John West five years ago, showing a westbound train from the "Dead Tree Overlook" on the road to Osier. Here are a few shots taken from about the same spot almost 52 years ago. What these Kodacolor photos lack in spectacular fall colors and high resolution is perhaps compensated for by the historic context - this is the last westbound revenue freight train headed by 483 and 484 on the way to Chama.
