As was announced some time ago, this trip was IN COMMEMORATION of the May, 1950 RMRRC trip
for which #489 was given a green jacket by the D&RGW. Since the C&TS does not at present have any
green coaches, and since the replica of the Silver Vista lives in Durango - not Chama - we did not even
think about trying to do a totally accurate re-creation of the 1950 event.
