487 leading a Cumbres turn under threatening skies August 20, 1966

Before I do another renegade South Africa ng post, I thought maybe I should post a Rio Grande narrow gauge photo first just to stay on the straight and narrow. So here is 487 heading a Cumbres turn on August 20, 1966, approaching the old Coxo crossing. The sky is already getting pretty dark on this monsoon summer morning. Out of sight, 498 is cut into the train just ahead of the caboose. In the afternoon the engines made a Chama to Alamosa run (other photos of August 20, 1966 are yet to be scanned).
