Chama scenes June 5, 1968

Here are some scenes at Chama prior to 483 and 493 departing for Alamosa.
493 did all the switching before the train left town.

493 has backed gons with coal to be unloaded at the coal tipple in Chama.
The load behind the tender will go east over Cumbres behind 483. This one may be on the video cover, along with Cresco.... June 5, 1968


493 takes water at the Chama Water tank. 493 made 3 roundtrips from Alamosa-Chama in 1968. The last run had 484 with 483 instead of 493.
