A few more images in Chama from Aug. 25th & 31st, 1973:
Here is 483 ready to depart eastbound; milepost 303 has been repainted in the old white-on-black 'D' style and is on the tender deck for transport back (to milepost 303):
A boxcar-eye view of the south yards, 489 is on the left with the 0452, and Derrick OP on the right.
On the other side of the derrick boom on a flat is another Scenic Railways project, the boiler and cab of an ex-Hawaiian 2-4-0 (I think, could be wrong) teakettle The rear of the Plateau gas station is also in the frame:
Another of 489, the only K not to be repainted in the early years, 0452 is still in "Denver and Rio Grande" movie paint. Farther down on this track sit the Bernie Watts' passenger cars.
(Aug. 31st next)
