Most of the 1968 runs are covered in a video we did a few years ago called
"Last Steam Freights 1968". Has the first and last runs, and most of them in between with either stills and or video from film. Ernie Robart's films are the main focus, and covered most of the runs. Its a nice historical reference. There are even shots of the 473 light from Durango to Chama, etc.
I think we have some video or stills of the 498 leaving Monero with those lumber cars in the video. Here is the preview for the show if anyone is interested. I just watched the preview and there is a clip of the 498 which goes along with this discussion.
