The lure of the broad gauge

Five of the top 10 engineers in Alamosa in 1937 decided that they had enough of the narrow gauge. C.A. Kellogg, No. 7 in Alamosa, No. 13 overall, was the senior narrow gauge freight engineer. Then it jumps nine slots to J.S. Thompson at No. 24. Thompson, Vernon Todd (25), George Ray (26) and Walter Kearin (27) did most of the Alamosa area narrow gauge freight work. This included standard gauge and dual-gauge trains to Anonito.
Engineers who passed on narrow gauge work in the first part of 1937 included E.J. Freeman, Alexander H. Baskett, E.E. Hazzard, Claude Allbee, H.A. Good, Sam Riley, Tim Coughlin, F.B. Wellington, Oscar Caldwell and F.G. Lorimer.
