Gotta love the "mad dash;" to me it was almost as if the crews of the two K-28s and their engines wanted to prove they were still game, could still run the schedule of the
San Juan, at least one more time before the curtain call. What a way to go out.
Still makes me think when I consider that, at that time, the future of everything but the Durango-Silverton line was far from certain. Lord, what I wouldn't give to have been able to ride the full 4th division, just once...

Next stop Honolulu!
