464/488 ran ahead of # 115 from Lava and arrived at Cumbres at 11:10 while # 115 arrived at Cumbres at 11:15. At Chama, # 115 arrived at 12:04 and 464/488 arrived at 12:05.

Obviously, # 115 was allowed to go on ahead of 464/488, probably at Cumbres, but would 464/488 be allowed to follow the passenger train so closely?

The P&F train departed Cumbres ahead of No. 115.
what most likely took place is No. 115 passed extra 464-488 in the Chama yard. Upon arriving Chama the extra took the passing track, or other yard track at the east end and No. 115 stayed on the main to the depot.
