Jimmie's post shows engine 476 arriving Antonito from Santa Fe at 5:30 PM, then runs light to Alamosa. Did the Santa Fe coach and baggage, in this case 284 and 63, always remain in Antonito to wait for the morning train? Did the locomotive stay in Antonito as well? In this case 476 went to ALA for repair. I always wondered how the equipment was staged for return to Santa Fe the next morning as it did not make sense to move the coach and baggage to and from Alamosa each day.
