Today's Crew Call 12/24/64

Weather's getting bad on the hill, let's get these trains out of here so the guys will be home for Christmas. We had a big eastbound in from Durango last night, with 478 working to Alamosa for shopping (not Xmas shopping!). The westbound from Alamosa last night was not very heavy so one engine goes west, the second Durango crew deadheads home. Alamosa Crews are laying off for the holidays, so a couple of fireman are "drafted" out of the mechanical dept.
12/14/64
Extra West - 498 engineer Shock, fireman Payne. Call time 8:15am.
Deadhead Crew back to Durango - Headrick and Gibbs.
Extra East - 488 engineer Faucette, fireman Smith, 478 engineer Otteson, fireman Sais, 493 engineer Lira, fireman Lucero. Call time 8:45am.
