what were 27 cars doing on the main line at Mears Junction as opposed to the siding? There was no mention of these cars when 315 went through. Perhaps it was a Valley Line Main Line.
It looks like the Poncha Pass siding could not fit all the cars so the Round Hill siding was pressed into service.
Also where did George Brogan come from? Chama was an away-from-home terminal for Durango crews so the crew caller had to grab Brogan from somewhere.
