The first segment I am working on is a fan trip that I believe started in Durango with #20, and later is swapped for 455. I am not 100% on the year...1947-49 perhaps, or 1951. One "Tell" is the rider gon used has the looping handles on top, but are not painted silver like I have seen in more modern excursions.
The Rocky Mountain Railroad Club ran a two excursion, May 30-31, 1947.
That trip ran from Ridgway to Dolores with engine # 20 on May 30.
On May 31 engine 319 was used for the return from Dolores to Ridgway account engine #20 had leaky boiler flues.
This does not sound quite like it matches your tape, but FWIW.
